Here’s a pic of a patch that two participants hacked together in day 3 of our workshop, which used a wacom tablet - both pressure, and the x/y grid when drawing - as a sensor for making music and images over live video. Other work included a VJ tool that used high amplitude beats to mix cellular patterns with live video, a proposed installation that took image snapshots whenever someone snapped their fingers and mixed these with an ongoing archive, an infra-red point tracking device that could follow participants around a room, and a tool that combined live body tracking, motion tracking and amplitude detection to cool effect for use in live performance.

Joˆ£o Orrechia, an old buddy of mine who currently lives in Berlin, will be moving to Joburg in November of this year! You must take a listen to some of his beautiful music. You can hear his solo stuff here and some collaborative work here.
