As with a lot of my pieces thiswork has to be explored by the user. At first glance you see 9 blocks and when they hit each other you hear sound. Going with a mouse over the piece you see the cursor changes into a finger or a hand, this means you can do something with the objects. The piece that is shown at soundtoys.net exemplifies an important aspect of my work, which is dealing with possibilities to let the user make his/her own audiovisual composition. Though this is quite important to me, it is not the only thing what is my work about. I'm especially interested in exploring and subverting possibilities of the software that I use. Next I take much concern with how to present my work on the net. The process by which I develop my work is like a kind ofexploration by itself, and the nice thing is that the user will also go through this "journey" of exploring when trying to find out how my pieces work and what you can do with them.]]>2003-05-01T00:00:00Z2006-02-01T20:26:20ZOzsw 79.32003-05-04T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZSquare 4/4 b2003-05-04T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZNo. 6a2003-05-05T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZSoundscrapersoundscraper ...... 1999 - 2000 These works are an audio visual synthesis.

The crinkled image therefore absolves to black and, without solution of continuity, there shows the butterfly again, 'sustained' on the face with the intense look of a tuareg woman; fast, a cross fading focused on the eye returns us the face, by decidedly Oriental features, of a young laboratory researcher, underlining once more, with the use of the images, the multiplicity of the reality (from Africa to the Far East, from the nomadism to the hi-tech).
A fall of numbers (the 'binary' couple 01 of the digital) comes down to cover the face, while fast spend some screenshot of websites, connecting the movie to the final payoff: "the web too."

ii. Dynamic stereo position and loudness are derived from the respective X and Y coordinates of each collision. Therefore a collision occurring in the lower-right corner of the screen would result in a pianissimo sample heard in the right speaker only.
iii. When a collision occurs within the Roll-Area, represented by a moving blue square, a roll articulation is activated, rather than a single hit.

I believe that there are many possible applications and future directions for this work. For example, the rules outlined above could be extended or further timbres could be introduced to create much more varied and less aleatoric results. It would also be a simple step to dispense with the visual content altogether yet still employ the engine as a generator for ever changing background music for a website. However, personally I quite like the idea of allowing people to view the mechanics at work, perhaps it gives extra purpose to the music when one can predict what is likely to happen by visually tracking the Trigger-Object?

Since then a large and active worldwide community of sodaplayers have been creating their own sodaconstructions which now populate the sodazoo with a bourgeoning menagerie of models that are stranger and more diverse than soda ever imagined possible. Sodaconstructor generates sound online using a home brewed software synth written in java. The sound is not constructed from pre-loaded samples, instead sodaconstructor renders a single continously evolving and looping sample. Certain physical characteristics such as tension of muscles or collisions of masses contribute harmonics and noise to the sample, generating a dense sound texture that responds intimately to the interactive model movement.
Soda are experimenting with linking an application called sodaconstructor via the open sound control protocol (osc) to audio software such as supercollider and max/msp.there is also another version of sodaconstructor generating sound which has been shown as a plasma touch screen installation at the barcelona based sonar festival]]>2006-02-20T13:32:53Z2009-06-02T17:01:44Zamorphoscapes2002-08-12T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZEther-1 The animations are arranged on the radio dial in the order of their file size (from top to bottom), and their CPU overhead (from left to right).
content
The pieces range from simple evolving and random noise patterns, to self generating poetry based on the work of the Italian and Russian Futurists, such as F.T. Marinetti , Mayakovsky and Khlebnikov, based around the theme of "radio" (Cf. Telegraphic Language). They are based on scripts, which generate random, evolving and permutational sequences and structures, and have no determined duration. In most cases I would think of them as musical compositions with visuals, rather than animations with sound. However, this is not to say that the sound is more important than the graphics. I like to think of ether-1 as an online album of experimental music.
the project
This is an ongoing project, some pieces will be modified over time, some will disappear, and others will take their place. Ether-2 is planned to consist of contributions from other artists (a kind of compilation album). And Ether-3 will perhaps be a "remix? project where different artists tweak, recode and otherwise mess with the work of other artists.]]>2004-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZYinyang2004-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZMilo2004-08-13T00:00:00Z2009-06-26T15:10:14ZBakteria kultivo03. http://www.bakteria.org/AniZmo and a special bakteria kk-dura infection for your project soundtoys.]]>1999-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZThe Futurizer2000-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZThe Futurizer Xmas1997-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZThe Fiddler1999-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZThe Sequencer2004-08-13T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZProsthetic Component Interface Series Audio-visual design: Andrew Bucksbarg]]>2004-08-13T00:00:00Z2020-02-06T15:24:33ZK9-[1] The aim was to build a sound application, which anyone could play, using simple graphic elements such as in the retro computer game Pong (1972) - a ball and some lines.

A visual representation makes the music production an intuitive process, no special skills are needed.
This is one of my attempts to produce a maximum of effect with a minimum of (programming) effort. The behavior of a particle is based on Newton's calculations of movement, but I use shortcuts. This results in an almost realistic behavior similar to the almost realistic 3d look of the particles.
I hope you enjoy the challenge to gain control over this mini universe. A more pleasing arrangement of the sounds will be the result of your efforts. (What a more pleasing arrangement sounds likeI is entirely up to you of course). As the amount of particles increase so does the complexity. No matter how skilled you are you will never be able to master this 'instrument'.
I gave this music piece some traditional characteristics. It has a start, it's building up to a climax and then it ends. The development and the duration of the piece is determined by you.
The visual representation is an essential part of the music, so if anyone would like to perform it, an audience must have access to this representation in order to make the piece complete..]]>2001-08-14T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZWeaver2004-08-27T00:00:00Z2009-06-23T14:16:42ZPrepared keyboards2004-08-27T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZVirus2004-08-27T00:00:00Z2009-06-24T12:46:51ZSoundboxes2002-08-27T00:00:00Z2009-06-16T12:40:48ZPhotomontage2004-08-27T00:00:00Z2009-06-02T17:06:15ZBox#1 The process I apply for the research of particular kind of sounds, that?s here applied to the visual work too: then, images are submitted to the sound sample technique.

We are much more focused on the visual over the auditory. My goal is to articulate the ambient sounds as an instrument and a sonic geographical browser so that people can be provoked to realize an importance of the infrasonic soundscape. Because of the physical behavior of sound, my investigation also includes the focus on the notion of space by using New York City as a stage for my project. I chose New York City for its unique architectural nature to use the city's space as a potential sonic platform which clearly frames the design of the project's interface. We tend to ignore what we hear in our typical life because we have learned not to acknowledge them. Therefore, the sampled sounds from the city are a series of low frequency sounds that we do not normally perceive, so that by experiencing the interface the users are able to actively involved with an unusual sonorous interactio

The realization of multiAMAZE brings together several avenues of technical and art practice that I have been following over the previous three or so years, plus it seems to fufill some basic vary early established creative patterns of my own. Reportedly since the age of four or less I could become very absorbed and also good at creating mini environments in 3D, whether hours building drip sand castles every summer holidays or demanding to be locked in play pen with building blocks (for protection from the marauding raids of my younger brother). In addition I am also a person of quite specific and in some cases rare enthusiasms and interests.
With the advent of the Internet I found a medium for communication and expression that harnessed the computer skills I had learnt in adult life previously and also a medium of communication that qualitatively enhanced the ability of a person with rare or especially selective tastes and interests to find like minded individuals and possibly audience. Working collectively is also one thing I like to try to do and over the last few years over the internet membership of no-such.com and now OFFLINE at http://offline.area3.net has provided both the resources and colleagues/friends to fufill that wish.
A specific area of creation and expertise I have developed, largely within no-such.com, has been the utilization of the XMLsocket functionality introduced with Flash 5 to create multi-user projects, that is multi-user projects that enable 'chat' at the speeds associated with IRC chat technology but with the ingredient of interactive multi-user visual stimulation. Some examples of an early re-skinnable multi-user project can be visited at http://fire.no-such.com/COLOURchat.html.
With the advent of 3D capability in Director/Shockwave I was again pulled along by new functionality in relatively mass communication technological extension to the internet medium. Of course various stabs at 3D have been around, with special 3D plug-ins for some time (and gone again), but I felt with these they were too minority in reach and also I was put off by the use I saw being made of them. 'The Garden of Eden' project by Michael and Aurea at http://eden.garden1.0.projects.sfmoma.org/ was to a certain extent a revelation for me in terms of the possibilities of expression in 3D.
During the summer of 2001 at http://no-such.com/E/7/fib/ I was introduced by http://www.area3.net/barcelona to the benefits of Antoine Schmitt's Xtra for Shockwave 'asFTT' which enables the translation of sound input into Shockwave applicable data across a range of mHz so that this data input can influence the creation of visual parameters on screen. Through this development I saw a possibility to create a sound sensitive, 3D and multi-user environment merging and adding to a number of the themes that I had been developing over the previous few years. multiAMAZE is the result.

The influence between the music and the image happens at a deep physical level: the simulated muscles of Venus #1 are triggered by physical dynamic properties of the live sound. Venus #1 belongs to the realm of what I call the aesthetic of the cause : it is the cause of what we perceive that creates the aesthetic sensation.]]>2002-08-28T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZNanoensembles2002-08-28T00:00:00Z2009-06-24T12:15:10ZRude little song2002-08-28T00:00:00Z2006-12-01T11:09:27ZAltzero4 If you could freeze-frame sound; explode it into its constituent parts and then freeze it, it would look something like altzero4. Altzero explores issues to do with control and authorship in interactivity, and what we understand and expect from recorded media, by creating audiovisual compositions that are experienced spatially as well as over time. This is done in a variety of ways, but in particular by trying to evolve audio composition from its traditional form as an experience controlled almost entirely by the composer into one that is determined in part by the will of the listener. The musical experience is transformed into a 3-dimensional spatial journey where the listener chooses the route they take. By transferring the time component of sound into space, a linear path through a piece of music is transformed into an infinite array of possibilities. If one such navigable audio structure is perceived as a representation of a moment of music time in space, then a sequence of these structures represents individual key-frames of an audio animation, highlighting the development of the linear piece over time. Each spike represents a single sound fragment (much as in altzero3, where sounds have a physical appearance as columns of bubbles). The whole 3D structure is a soundscape in this case an explorable freeze-frame of a moment of sound. By moving through the structure, listeners hear a dynamic mix of all the sounds within earshot over time this becomes their experience of that moment of sound.
Altzero4 consists of several such structures, time slices of a fictional soundtrack. Taken as a whole and explored in sequence, they reveal another dimension to a recording, as the piece can be explored over both time and space. Each time slice will run on its own computer, and most of these will have low-volume multimedia speakers and headphones. The computers can be placed in a row, a circle or in various positions throughout the venue. If desired, some of the computers can use projection and non-tangible interaction (motion detection using video translated into movement within the virtual space, as we have done previously with altzero2) this could serve as a climax to the sequence. The exact setup is very flexible and needs to be defined in response to the space(s) available. It is important to have multiple computers running simultaneously in a defined order, so that visitors get the feeling of travelling through the musical piece as they move through the venue.
Formed in 1997, Squidsoup is a London-based art and design group whose work is known around the world. Altzero, their main art project for the last 2 years, has been shown at dozens of events including SIGGRAPH N-Space Art Gallery (LA, August 2001), SONAR (Barcelona, June 2001), and Web3D Symposium (Tempe Arizona, February 2002 and ICA, March 2002). Their work has also been shown at Milia (Cannes), Ars Electronica (Linz Austria), Microwave (Hong Kong), Doors of Perception (Amsterdam).
Icarus (Sam Britton and Ollie Bown) have been making electronic music for the past five years, releasing material on various independent record labels and achieving recognition for their distinct sound and complex drum programming styles.

The concrete relationship between the sensibilities of the user and interface are immaterial as all minds render forms and representation to experience objects in time. The breaks in lines and colour trace the metaphysics of aural space, by recontextualisng the planes via streams of colour and illusory sediments. Thus, the environment, and spatialisation of each apparatus lack succession as the sequentially of time cannot be thought to the end.

Samples are divided into three pentatonic sets, any set has a different timbre (one for each cell), because using pentatonic modes gives always consonant intervals (both harmonic and melodic) an euphonic soundscape is the final result. ]]>2004-09-07T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZBhgb_web2004-09-07T00:00:00Z2006-01-08T18:21:42ZFig_danse_web2004-09-07T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZPage_maze Visually, the work tries to reveal the pattern formed by the empty spaces among the words of a text page; this pattern is rather labyrinthic and similar to urban maps. The work with sound intends to reinforce this labyrinthic experience, when it presents sounds that in the beginning have a recognizable structure, but, due to the close distance between the melodic lines, become less and less recognizable separately as the work progresses.
In the second part of the work, there is a gradual disappearance of the page words, and the entry of new circles, accompanied by new sounds. As the words disappear, the circles routes become more visible, and the sounds are gradually changed. At last, there is the option of showing the first page again, without any sound, waiting for the users intervention, so that the work restarts.
Our goal is, from this work, to develop other animations, each of which would be based on one page of a different book. Among other possible books that will be used, there are Fices (Fictions), by Jorge Luis Borges, and pages of unconventional books, like menus and handbooks. As the index of the work, we have chosen a passage from Through the Looking-Glass, by Lewis Carroll, when the garden in which Alice walks becomes a maze: she sees a hill, walks toward it, but never manages to reach it, returning every time to the starting point.]]>2006-02-28T19:16:39Z2006-04-19T10:03:35ZsssSnake2004-09-08T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZFuorangeOnline (large public screen and small screen display).

These can range from subtle heart-beats to high pitch blasts. Which sounds occur where are determined by adding or subtracting the shading in each part of the grid and/or manipulating the position of the grid lines to create the audiovisual environment.
The interface allows the user to apply explicit actions, that will effect an evolving acoustic sequence. However, the current state of the sequence itself will determine how each action effects the audio performance, subverting the explicit decision making of the user and giving rise to a sense of uneasy tmetic anxiety over how much control the user wields through command of the interface.
This is an important aspect of the work, for though the interface itself does explicitly conform to both the traditional 'point & click' paradigm of interactivity and the domination of the X/Y axis in the monitor display (and therefore may demonstrate a sense of redundancy in its mastery), the use of this traditional paradigm in the evolution of the sequence only serves to highlight and play with its entropic nature. In 'GridBox', a deliberate action may not have obviouse deliberate consequences. Actions may have immediate results or be indecipherable in terms of their specific nature and timing in the evolving composition.
This artefact is part of a series of pieces exploring the formation of narratives through the use of a variety of interactive devices.
The start point of this enquiry was an investigation into the manipulation of specific commands found in Macromedia Director that govern cursor control (such as mouseDown), and screen properties (such as locV and locH), and then explore ways of challenging the redundant nature of these pardigms.

The objective is to take studies and experiments beyond the defined object, away from the restricted notion of authorship and direct them towards a diffuse environment, one that is hybrid, ?cybrid? and collective.
Map is a project that carries the debate along a different path: the digital image is not an image, but a system created from codes the input and output of which continue to reproduce results already obtained. It aims also to question the interactions using the mouse a graphic interface widely used on the web and which may generate certain automatisms (causing the disappointment by some users when an action involving the mouse does not generate an immediate response on the interface).
The element of chance has been included by random sequencing in an effort to integrate causality in the ordered structure of the work. It is known that there are rules in chaotic organizations, but rules not defined a priori, as a rationalized variety.]]>2004-09-08T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZInter Galatic Audio Mixer Why: This continues my interest in applying computer game practices toward making interactive artworks.

The movement of the particles can be influenced by attractor elements which vary in strength over time, thus creating fluxating patterns of movement amongst the particles. The samples attached to the particles are activated when they pass through "trigger zones" which adopt the colours from the particles as they play. This creates and kind of simple animated visual structure which refelcts the generated sound structure.
Compositions can be stored in an online database. Users can play other peoples' composiitons or re-edit existing ones.

Virtual and Real. Virtual & Real: K-Dron and Light is the first project from my new series Virtual & Real. It was inspired by Janusz Kapusta's K-Dron shape and its luminous properties when stimulated by light. The project connects the viewer with a virtual space through the interaction of mouse and a virtual light in a three dimensional environment composed of K-Dron walls. The combinations of K-Drons and light evoke unique, mosaic like images, which when leaving traces of color create an ever-changing, spontaneous, and surreal blend of two dimensional and three dimensional compositions.
Directions: Your mouse is directly connected to a virtual light and sound in the world of K-Drons. Move the mouse slowly left and right to change the position of the light and move it quickly to trigger various animations of the K-Dron walls. Click on the K-Dron's world to start over.

It works with the programming language as a graphiter ould work with spray or a DJ with the sound.
The Gr@phite project abuses of this culture material, exploring the potential of the digital generative art and its possibilities, constructing a sonorous poetical experimentation and is visually interactive. This is another way to express the multiple markets already existing of the sonorous visual expression. Gr@phite is a reactive, generative and interactive use of the software, where the applications figure as an amusement, a game where the user enters, and the rules are given so the user can make its choices of action. Depending on the objects chosen and the interaction of the user, he can be either a graphiteir or a DJ. Perhaps the most original characteristic of this interactive experimentation is that it allows that the emergent phenomenon are considered. An emergent phenomenon cannot be foreseen, nor can it be entirely explained or simply moved away. The emergent phenomenon are, over all those that cannot be foreseen by the behavior of its components. They happen as successful, unexpected mutations. The interactive generative art of Gr@phite favors the surprises of the events that can or not be controlled.]]>2004-11-06T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZTextbook Using the mouse, interactions can be accomplished through clicking, dragging, and combinations of these actions.]]>2004-11-06T00:00:00Z2009-06-02T17:11:11ZDrifter TV VJ Machine2002-03-04T00:00:00Z2005-10-21T11:14:34ZSynchronize Infinite Space- Your mouse's movement is recorded in the server for a little while when you start participating.
