01.27.2010 – iPad

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Say what you will about Apple’s new touch-pad computer, the iPad, but consider for a moment the amazing possibilities for interactive musical applications. Anything from practical control surfaces such as mixer-boards or piano-style input to conceptual instruments and interfaces that utilize the accelerometers and multitouch technology in astounding ways.

11.28.2009 – In C++

03.20.2009 – Integrating Python

Friday, March 20, 2009

I’ve been dabbling in the Python programming language for the last several days. I’ve been aware of it in a peripheral sort of way for some time, but somehow never felt inclined to explore its possibilities.
