Live Coding in MaxMSP

Laurence Counihan clicking a heart shaped glyph today triggered a notification to me that brought one of my video recordings form 2010 to my attention… I couldn’t remember what happens in ‘live code Max MSP 20100220‘, so I watched it again. live code Max MSP 20100220 from Samuel Freeman on Vimeo. I saw that Counihan…

continued, complete, and to be continued

Continuing, and completing, looking back at the collection of ‘improvised’ video offerings that have accumulated on vimeo in the past few weeks (not including the past few days – I’ll have to get to that tomorrow!), and contemplating possible destinations for this research… This CreativePact would have ended today-ish, but because I did not get…

a process

never mind why, here’s what:   each page shows ten links to videos as image and title pairs, they don’t all fit on screen so one must scroll down to see them all;   whilst scrolling, some of the linked video pages are clicked in such a way that they load in new tabs;  …

uke-yello (October 2013)

after some busy days, it’s time to get back to this CreativePact thing… On the 16th (two days ago) I had a quick look back at some of the ‘improvised’ videos that had been uploaded to (using this search url) and bookmarked some of them. One of those is no longer available; this one is…

Rescued guitars

The description of this one tells of the work undertaken to restore guitars that are have been abandoned or neglected… to someone who has a slowly growing collection of such instruments, this (which is part of a series of) video(s) inspires in multiple ways: Alain’s Guitars – Impro #1: Ouverture from Josue Febles on Vimeo.…

Melodica improv

A few technical hitches with rendering the video for this one… here’s a preview posted here whilst sorting that out: The video is now uploaded: Showing an improvised melodica part to an experimental work in progress titled ‘stretch’. About the work: Five stereo sound recordings (of around ten seconds to two minutes duration) have been…

Improvising Consciousness

To see what’s new, and possibly on topic, I used again the search URL posted yesterday… There are 16 more videos atop of the ones found yesterday, here’s a selected few of them – in the sequence that they were viewed – one is added to the inclusive improv group collection. Seeing the title ‘Improvising…

improvised

A quick one today… I did a simple search (no filters) on vimeo for ‘improvised’ sorted the results by date: http://vimeo.com/search/sort:date/format:thumbnail?q=Improvised The video I uploaded 22 hours ago was seventh in the results, and the one called ‘random landscape’ was uploaded around the same time: Here it is:

two guitars and some live patching

I spent the day at Ben’s house, recording (guitars mostly) for an album that we (and others) are (sporadically) working on. Ryan joined us in the evening, and he played some guitar parts that Ben had written. Ryan came up with a new guitar part for a tune that I’d written a few months ago.…

Words

CreativePact ↓ CreativePact is the hub of a group of artists, musicians and technologists who enter a pact to create and document some new creative output regularly over the course of a month. Pacts may begin between August-October and run for 30 days. In years gone by the word regularly would have been daily, but…

Nakedness

Day one for this CreativePact project (see the intro posted yesterday, and see creativepact.co.uk for other projects going on this month), and to begin this month of collecting videos of improvisation I started with some simple searches. The term ‘improv’ returns many cases of words like ‘improvement’ in the video titles, descriptions and tags; nevertheless,…
