The design and building process of io, and documentation of io’s construction.

portrait: io 0.0.1 beta++ 05-19-10

A first look at the musical automaton and machine improviser io 0.0.1 beta++ constructed by Han-earl Park. Come see/hear the semi-autonomous, interactive musical automaton performing with Han-earl Park, Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder on 26 May 2010 at Blackrock Castle Observatory (Cork, Ireland).

source code 05-12-2009

Source code for io 0.0.1 beta (rev. May 12th 2009) [86kB zip file]. There have been major changes since 03-23-2009 as a result of the beta tests with Bruce Coates and Franziska Schroeder. These changes are unfortunately not documented/commented at the moment, but I’m uploading the source files for the record.

analog io

I’ve assumed that future versions of io would have a single board computer (or multiple SBCs) in place of the clunky and fragile personal computer. There was, however, always an alternative. Take the not-so-humble analog computer, a technology with a fascinating past and a (still promising) future. Given that io’s behavior is driven by an […]
