16.4.08 Granular Improv 1.1 This improvisation was recorded using my Max/MSP improv patch. The patch now has a human user interface (UC-33e for the geeks) and goes some way toward transposing the performers gestures. This is a giant leap forward from the first version of the patch that was used to perform the original Granular Improv track
13.4.08 Granular Improv is a short improvisation using the bare bones of a Max/MSP patch I'm working on. I'll keep posting short improvs using the patch as it evolves. It's not very user friendly at the mo but seems to have the potential for some interesting sounds. Anyhoo, it's there if you want to hear what I'm up to. Bonza.

I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
