updates

08–07–13: yet another change of audio player.

I’ve made some changes www.io001b.com. The previous design dates back to March 2010 (one that was launched in anticipation to the performance at Blackrock Castle Observatory), and was the basis of the recent update to busterandfriends.com. The new design incorporates some of the changes made for busterandfriends.com, reusing much of the same code, adds a new banner image of io 0.0.1 beta++ with Franziska Schroeder, and, I hope, makes steps to address some of the readability issues, particularly on LCD displays. I expect the usual bugs and inter-browser problems. I welcome comments and error reports: contact me or leave a message below.

Blackrock Castle Observatory (Cork, Ireland) will be the site for on-stage meetings between human and machine improvisers. This event will mark the debut of two extraordinary machine musicians, io 0.0.1 beta++ and iWife constructed by Han-earl Park and John Godfrey respectively. Featuring Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder (saxophones), and Francis Heery (diffusion), the performances will be part critique and part playful exploration, both a boundary-breaking public demonstration of socio-musical technologies and an ironic sci-fi parody….

Presented with funding from the Music Network Performance and Touring Award, and support from the Arts Council of Ireland, Blackrock Castle Observatory, The Castle Bar and Trattoria and the UCC School of Music.

More updates forthcoming….

I have also learned a lot more about WordPress (with both Stet Lab and buster & friends powered by it), thus the revamp of this site….

More to come shortly.

update

I’ve moved this site from www.busterandfriends.com/io++ to www.busterandfriends.com/io (the side affect being that the old io 0.0.1 beta site is now archived at www.busterandfriends.com/io_archive).
