Audio Visual Experiments With Daniel Reynolds

August 2017

Experiments With Daniel Reynolds.

I got to create some audio and visual experiments with Daniel Reynolds in the Wolfram Cambridge office while Dan was doing a residency there. We had a great time and produces some fun visuals, I hooked up a version of my Bouncy Piano, to Dan’s enormous analog effects pipeline. Dan experiments a lot with fractals, lately he has been exploring Mathematica to generate and manipulate fractals in real-time.

Dan regularly performs his visuals in concerts in New York, teaches and speaks at Wolfram conferences.

Hmmm. I am going to use play-authenticate instead, looks easy.

Bruce Schneier on Security vs Privacy again. “The debate isn’t security versus privacy.

Web based instant messaging http://www.beejive.com/. Although I don’t like the idea of storing my passwords on someone else’s site, the convenience of being able to log onto my 7 instant messaging users all with one click on my iPhone is quite convenient.

A great new collaborative visualization site http://www.many-eyes.com by IBM and Martin Wattenberg http://www.bewitched.com/. Users can upload data sets and easily create visualizations.
