the next dorkbot-nyc and dorkbot-london meetings will take place wednesday, february 6th at 7pm. dorkbot-austin is MIA. dorkbot-melbourne is having a nap. dorkbot-io is having some electromagnetic interference problems, but will be back up soon. ----- this week dorkbot-nyc is proud to present the lovely and talented: Dan Coates: Succumbing to the practical pressures of live playing in New York City and desiring an expressive electronic interface, Dan Coates (0xdc) created Pocket POOL, a performance-oriented sample playback synthesizer consisting solely of a PDA (Compaq iPAQ) running Linux and custom software. Howard Huang: Based on the Totally Tone Table technology, Chromatifloor is the second-generation real-time image-to-sound converter using a security camera and Max/MSP. Come hear what the Prentice Hall floor and the image of a bass guitar sounds like. Hans-Christoph Steiner: While the ability to input and output at least one MIDI stream, the Palm Pilot has potential for many musical applications, from a sequencer in a small package to novel uses of the touch screen to create new interfaces to controlling sound. My specific interest lies in real-time interfaces using the touch screen. ----- this week dorkbot-london is proud to present the lovely and talented: Rolf Gehlhaar - chaos / antichaos : gestures, sounds & images nullpointer - Pixel-Map Simon Wistow - games and generative music ad-hoc demos BEER ----- info/directions to both meetings on the dorkbot.org website. good night. ........................................................................ .........dorkbot: people doing strange things with electricity.......... ..........................http://dorkbot.org............................ ........................................................................
