This is bit of a braindump, but met with my good friends http://christopherwillits.com and http://barrythrew.com who works at http://obscuradigital.com to show milkymist1. Learned about the setups many using now for high quality VJ and video performance. I would put VJ term in english more into a cheesy category of spinning 3d mushrooms, video performance more of process-based performance, and then video installation as a totally great market for mm1 as well, work that obscura does and many other custom shops.
Most laptop musicians using ipad with osc controls for a software called max/msp jitter and now more recently Touchdesigner on a pc....they use one laptop for audio and another, pc, for running this video design software... http://www.derivative.ca/ Thus, a killer feature of mm1 is that it supports OSC. And, there is a free (small f) app and many many others on apple and android http://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android This is great...installing touchosc app on my free (small f and free as in status.net gave me) phone right now... With a rooted nook and touchosc-android, could have a great mm1 controller real quick...closer to Free (with big F) http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/guides/2011/02/howto-root-a-nook-color-to-transform-it-into-an-android-tablet.ars I also checked out popular music/video scene in SF and found some newer music called chillwave that fits well with milkymist1 style and features at present...hahaha, funny enough also called GLO-FI ;) a form of SLOWFI? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chillwave Great! I will begin recording uses of milkymist live Here is some video from gbraad from the firefox4 release party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iQdEbvNeAI That is my friend Shenyue in Beijing, he is well known DJ: http://www.play.fm/artist/shenyue http://www.acupuncture-records.com/events/ben-huang-shen-yue-110226/?lang=en http://www.rockinchina.com/w/Shen_Yue Anyway, is there a best practice on storing videos of Milkmist1 in use? Best is for them to spread out in the world on normal services, but I wanted to get the ball rolling somewhat on getting footage and use of the device.
