beta test 11-10-08 & 12-08-08: resultant changes

By Han-earl Park | Published: March 25, 2009

Here’s a list of the significant changes. These address issues that Franziska Schroeder and Bruce Coates brought up during the testings in November and December respectively. Greater variation in output. Including pseudo-Braxtonian ‘separation’ implemented via interp tables. Implementation of a meta-banalyzer that shakes up the system depending on input variation. Greater variation in the VL70m settings. More responsive to external [...]

beta test 11-10-08: preamble

By Han-earl Park | Published: November 25, 2008

frankenmusic(s) Almost eight years ago, when io-to-be was a bunch of discorporate code fragments, Sara Roberts remarked that the enterprise of constructing a machine improvisers wasn’t so much megalomanic as Frankensteinian. Fifteen days ago, during the break between beta test sessions, Franziska Schroeder asked a pithy question that cut to the core of this enterprise: what do [...]

io + I met

By Franziska Schroeder | Published: November 24, 2008

On the 10th of November 2008 I had the great pleasure to meet io. She seemed a rather calm, clandestine creature, not saying much… not moving much, in fact not engaging with me much at all.

beta test 11-10-08 with Franziska Schroeder

By Han-earl Park | Published: November 5, 2008

The first beta test (which, in some respects, is more of an alpha test) is scheduled to start on Monday, November 10th 2008. Saxophonist, improviser, theorist and veteran of technological arts, Franziska Schroeder will be working with io++ (or components that will make up that machine), and we’ll see more clearly what work needs to [...]
