Nicholas Keogh

Nicholas Keogh is a man who makes many things. I've had a chance to work with him whilst he wears his film maker hat. I did some work on the soundtrack for his film, 'A Removals Job' which was commissioned for the opening of the new arts venue The Mac in Belfast.

He has recently uploaded some of his "wildlife documentaries" to share on vimeo, watch:





More of that sort of thing to come...

Listening to a Tree's Rings

Traubeck: “A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture)

We used the software Pure Data (aka PD) and the Arduino software + hardware (the Duemilanove) plus some breadboards and our own laptops for the day. We made lights blink and we could change the speed of the blinking with a potentiometer. We made digital oscillators which we could control with the pot. We also made sample players with push button triggers. We covered what felt like an impressive amount of material, and I was tired and happy by the end. I ordered the latest Arduino board, the Uno as soon as I got home.

Diego Stocco - Bassoforte

This man is really great.

I ended up with this mechanical hybrid thing I thought to call "Bassoforte" (bass + pianoforte).
