Max/MSP/Nato event in North Oakland, CA.
Compound Eye & Ear: On Saturday, July 15, we continue our ongoing monthly A-V shindigs at Compound Eye with an event featuring two visiting performers.
Composer Masayuki Akamatsu, an Associate Professor at the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS) in Gifu, Japan, will be performing some of his Max/MSP/Nato-based work; there will also be a demonstration of a real-time video sampler he has created.
Brian K. Slater of Tactex Controls Inc. in Victoria, BC, Canada, will be showing off the MTC Express, a fiber-optic controller of great expressiveness. He also promises to premiere "a new, never-seen-anywhere-else-on-the-planet, hybrid instrument."
There will also be live video mixing, and a demonstration of a genetic-algorithm-based composition toy. Admission is free.
