12 Nights Electronic Music and Art @ Harold Golen Gallery in Miami, FL
Just before finals last semester, Matt Roberts and I lead a group of advanced Digital Arts majors to Miami during Art Basel where we performed together as Mobile Performance Group, our student-faculty new media collective and laptop ensemble. We presented all new material inspired by our [...]
With the Fall semester drawing to a close, that means it is time for another set of Computer Music final project videos. This time my Digital Arts students were directed to incorporate machine listening into their Max/MSP development. Most of them ended up using the [analyzer~] object, which was originally created by Tristan Jehan and [...]
SEAMUS 2011 @ University of Miami
From January 20-22, I attended the 2011 Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States national conference with 6 of my Digital Arts students from Stetson. My piece “also apply” was featured in the Genelec Listening Room. I found it to be a nice, relaxed atmosphere for featured [...]

It’s that time of year again. Yes, it is the holidays. BUT…it is also time for final projects from my Digital Arts students. The Fall 2010 crop of students in DIGA 461 Computer Music did a fantastic job exploring algorithmic composition via Max/MSP in their fourth and final project. They produced [...]
Eric Baum recently completed his senior research project for a BA in Digital Arts – Sound. He decided to design and build a combination electric and bass guitar that he then enhanced with a variety of sensors. He used the Teabox from Electrotap to manage his sensor connections and built a Max/MSP patch to allow [...]
Final projects by Digital Arts students came rolling in last week at Stetson University. The videos below are by students in the Fall 2009 version of my course DIGA 461 Computer Music, where undergraduate students learn to use Max/MSP as a platform for exploring sound synthesis, audio processing and algorithmic composition. They are required to [...]
During Fall 2008, I required my Computer Music students to submit a YouTube video documenting their final projects for the first time. The course teaches students to use Max/MSP as a platform for studying fundamental computer music techniques. Having them produce videos was a bit of an experiment, but the final results made it a success. [...]
