monom … ideas from 1st record­ing: 1. nice if two pitch shift voices inter­play; 2. think tran­si­tions and reap­pear­ance; 3. vari­ance– pitch shift­ing always has same motion and voice.

other pieces

• gran­u­late the whole
• stacatto+verb: think patter
• just the tone gen­er­a­tion– lay­ers of flux­u­a­tion resonance
• more polyrhyth­mic beading
• use con­tact mics… another level of the recording
• con­tact mic feedback
• Lucier-ism

EARTH project. GPS, satel­lite imagery, etc– new angle on locality

muta­synth as well as some other things.

• research GPS and geo­graphic data table­sUSGS site
• sched­ule meet­ing with Scripps/NOAAPORT
• Croa­tia funding
• dig­i­tal ver­sions of ana­log synths — Struct?

just a liv­ing, fiery reminder of the what it means to be here: putting your­self on the line, and out there, and the risks implicit in liv­ing and liv­ing with art and music… that the walls don’t need to be bro­ken down but we need to cre­ate a place with­out walls

mas­ter fader: direct math from input: fig­ure straight line dis­tance from pre­vi­ous geo­graph and com­pute prot­por­tional cross­fade… send result to line~ at mas­ter vol­ume output

weather : some thoughts for the future of the project:

• look for a coor­di­nate series to trace the pres­sure fronts; cities on the front…
• quadrate cities/points around query point
• use GPS cood­i­nates instead of cities?
• inter­nal data tables…

weather: check out this weather query whose results will be pumped directly into my storm gen­er­a­tor for Time­forms at CRCA!
