Ashitaka Improvisation 1
An improvisation I did with Ashitaka. You can see how my gestures with the physical interface relate to the sound/visuals in this one.
Ashitaka Improvisation 2
A second improvisation, this one giving a more detailed view of the visuals.
Ashitaka Prototype 3
The current (time of writing: 19/12/07) version of Ashitaka. I maybe went
a bit overboard with the particles... The instrument isn't actually being
played here - it's basically at rest, though a couple of secondary
GravityObjects are split off at about 6s and 12s in.

Ashitaka Prototype 2
A second prototype, without sound. This one demonstrates what's happening
with the main object a bit better, and possibly better represents what the
final instrument will look like.

Ashitaka Prototype 1
One of the prototypes of Ashitaka in action. The main object that is moving
about is controlled by the interface - the data from the accelerometer
determines its position, and the other sensors control its shape and aspects
of the sound. The other objects that appear are tangentially related to the
main object, but the performer doesn't have direct control over them. Note
how the objects draw on the background too. I'm not sure the sound's quite
in sync with this one for some reason.

origins
An audiovisual piece I did for the 2006 Musica Electronica
concert at Glasgow University in June. Features some very basic
audio-visual mappings, all one-way (audio to visual), and mostly just
connecting audio amplitude to the size of cubes. The sound's in stereo,
so the spatialisation will be a bit messed up. All sounds (except the
red cubes) were done in Tao.
