Mobile Music Workshop Day 2
Day 2 of the Mobile Music Workshop, kicked off this morning with presentations by Lalya Gaye of the Viktoria Institute’s Future Applications Lab, and Tim Cole of SSEYO and now Tao.
Lalya also stood in for Michael Sharon of socialight fame, giving his presentation because he couldn’t attend. Nice quote from digital media anthropologist Mimi Ito (sister of Joichi) in the presentation:
“The phone isn’t replacing the desktop. It’s replacing gum and cigarettes”.
Frauke made the valuable point that, even at this stage, socialight is a locative system that actually works.
Following that we had two sessions to play with kit. Lalya demonstrated sensor-based music using BX24 microcontrollers to talk MIDI, plus pure data running on a laptop.
Tim showed minimixa, a loop-based music system for mobile devices.
He’d brought a big pile of PDAs and smartphones with the software installed, so everyone disappeared off into their own headphone-bubble to play…
Overall this was a great workshop, thanks to Frauke, Lalya and Drew (who couldn’t attend, unfortunately).
