STEIM Experiments
- Isadora Color Organ
- Isadora Live Camera Control
- Jitter Color Organ (music by Celeste Hutchins)
- PD Kaleidoscope
These are realtime recordings, with me triggering events by tapping keys in time to the beat. They’re tests for some upcoming projects using OSC (Open Sound Control), a nifty protocol for getting many different kinds of realtime sound and video programs to talk to each other.
