Using the 1992 Olympic Dream Team game against Croatia to make Jesus & Mary Chain guitar sounds: original song + basketball samples = *really* noisy guitar sound also there is no guitar in this at all, it’s all FM synthesis. more later… |

I’m performing tomorrow at the opening of the Dallas Video Festival. The festival includes work by a bunch of awesome people, read Tom Moody’s writeup about it. This will probably be my last Tree Wave performance for quite a while because I’m changing out my setup. Although I’m still using the 8bit gear, I will probably not be performing with it any more. I’m now focusing on the sample-based PC software that I started writing a while back, which I wrote about here and Tom Moody interviewed me about here . I’m actively working on adding the features I need to make an album with it. I have short sample of the latest output from the program online here |

I’ve released a new version of my Commodore 64 synthesizer cartridge that includes several new features and some fixes. See change log below. The cartridge and EPROM upgrade are available from the Atariage Store and the ROM images and source are available on the Cynthcart page. Cynthcart v1.2.4 changes: |

I’m working on a new software project for my upcoming show at Dunn & Brown (January 11th). The program generates house music by progressively calculating the digits of pi and feeding them into an algorithmic music generator that I wrote. Here is a sample of the audio output. This process has some interesting attributes: – The song is infinitely long and static. Every byte of the audio output is predetermined, even though only a small amount of it has actually been listened to. So you can jump to any measure in the song and it will always play the same music for that measure. – As the digits of pi progress further and further out, more and more processor cycles are required to calculate the next digit. After months of play, any given computer will not be able to calculate the digits fast enough for the music to play continuously. – The rate that the number of processor cycles increase per digit is O(NlogN). However based on Moore’s Law, processor power per dollar increases at a exponential rate. So by upgrading your computer regularly with the market trends, you can play the pi/house song indefinitely. I will post a demo version of the program later when I have some time to clean it up. |

hey, I’m playing at the Cavern in Dallas on Sunday with Menomena. This will be the first live Tree Wave show with STEREOPHONIC SOUND!! I tried running one of the C64’s in stereo at a couple shows before, but it was a hassle and it was really unreliable. I’ve now got a C64 running reliably in stereo using a SID Symphony cartridge (a cart with an extra SID) with a cartridge port expander so I can also use my Cynthcart, and I’ve also got my 386 running in stereo by doing some tricky routing and adding a second BOSS Heavy Metal Pedal. |

I made a myspace for my band from the mid 90’s. |

I’m doing a Tree Wave show (just me again) on Saturday at the huge Dorkbot that’s going on with SXSW Interactive. And I’m speaking on a SXSW interactive panel Sunday morning (ugh) at 10am, see schedule. PS: I conceded a few weeks ago that I needed to play a show during SXSW Music, but all my connections to get shows already had everything booked solid and had waiting lists. If anyone has any hookups to get me a decent show, lemme know… |

here’s the preview for the 8-Bit documentary by Marcin Ramocki about video game hacking art and stuff, premiering at Moma Oct 4th. I’ll probably be there. It features footage of the Tree Wave show at Deitch. That’s back when I used to work on music and art instead of sitting around all day surfing Youtube. also, the 8bit movie website more info at Tom’s. |

We’ll be performing Thus (the 29th) at Paard in The Hague (Holland) with SmashTV. And then I’ll be speaking the next day at Tag talking about my gear and stuff. |
