This piece follows in the tradition of brainwave music composition pioneered by Alvin Lucier, David Rosenboom, Richard Teitelbaum, and others, beginning in the 1960s. For me it's important that the instrument behaves like a piano. But just as i mentioned, i don't know where to start.
#MAX MSP PIANO PATCH#
So i thought, also as an project, to make a piano patch so i can practise at home. Monahan simultaneously controls several Max/MSP software patches on stage that harness Coleman’s brain signals to sculpt soundwaves, light, instrumental composition and kinetic actions into a progressively layered multi-media artwork. i just started to learn to play the piano, but i don't have one at home. He uses these alpha waves in conjunction with Monahan’s software manipulations, to produce various responses in musical instruments such as piano and percussion, to control the fading of stage lights, and to control sound spatialization and audio processing, all in realtime. and it was called Pluton, it was for piano and electronics. As Coleman shifts through various states of mental and physical concentration and movement, he is able to produce and control alphabrainwaves while dancing. Hopes&Fears explores the history and uses of Max/MSP, and sees how the computer-human. An EEG interface worn by dancer-choreographer Coleman sends data to several Max/MSP software patches in real-time. This collaboration by Bill Coleman and Gordon Monahan uses brainwave sensing technology to produce sound, music, and movement. Unfortunately, I lost the original file in a ha.
Alexis O’Hara is a transdisciplinary artist whose work comprises elements of cabaret, pop music, spoken-word, stand-up comedy, vocals and electronics, photography and installation. seek 1 for piano samples.I have had numerous requests for the patch.
