64-bit VBAP

June 7th, 2017

As part of my work for the Jamoma team in early 2015, I completed a 64-bit Mac update of an external from 2006 for vector-based amplitude panning by Ville Pulkki. This enabled other members of the team to use models that were dependent on the external with newer versions of Cycling’74 Max. After seeing my […]

Jamoma Workshop at Stetson

July 25th, 2015

One of the highlights of my work on Jamoma has been the workshops. Not only are they opportunities to visit interesting places, but they provide time and space to focus my efforts on coding with a set of truly remarkable collaborators. The workshops are unique in the way they get everyone involved in Jamoma energized […]

LowkeyNW package on GitHub

January 23rd, 2015

Winter break is often a time to catch up on things. Without the usual daily and weekly routines of the semester, I often find I can pour long hours of focussed attention into a project between all the family festivities. This year, I had been think about my previous Max external development since talking to Eric Lyon about his book while in […]

ICMC in Athens Greece

September 22nd, 2014

The Jamoma team had not just one, but two papers accepted for presentation at the joint ICMC-SMC conference in Athens, Greece. I was fortunate to be able to attend and share presenting duties with Trond Lossius, Pascal Baltazar, and Théo de la Hogue. If you are interested in reading this work, both papers were included […]

Jamoma Workshop in Bergen Norway

During our 6 days working at BEK, we resolved a number of issues that will get us […]

Build and Test in the Jamoma Core

February 5th, 2014

Over the last few months, a few of the other Jamoma developers and myself have been collaborating on a new way to automate unit testing. I recently completed a blog post that details how it works and the benefits this new system provides to our workflow. Please head over to the Jamoma blog and read […]

Jamoma Workshop in Albi France

June 15th, 2013

In early June, I traveled to Albi France for a Jamoma developers workshop hosted by GMEA. It was certainly good to see old friends and make new ones while we discussed future plans for the project, worked intensely on the code and learned about how each other is applying it to creative work. Some of […]

What I learned from my Fulbright

March 7th, 2013

The Professional Development Committee at Stetson sponsors a regular roundtable series in which faculty present recent scholarly work to their peers at the university. Since I had just returned from spending my sabbatical in Norway as a Fulbright Scholar, I offered to talk at the February 22 meeting about my experience and the research I […]

Fulbright Endings

January 25th, 2013

Music technology is a discipline sits between technical and artistic concerns. I came to Norway on a Fulbright grant with every intention of focussing exclusively on an undeniably technical project, telling myself and others that I had to put making music on hold for awhile to focus on writing code for Jamoma. But several things […]

This year’s symposium was hosted by NOTAM in Oslo and showcased their new facilities, as well as a few other institutions around town. There were sessions at the Norges Musikkhøgskole and the motion capture lab of the fourMs Research Group. For […]
