.forum - week three.
John Delany’s “Chromos” stole the show this week, the piece he created with a Max/MSP patch late last year. It is a fantastic work, so congratulations to John. Delany’s ambient music is fascinating – it has a subtle “retro” quality to it while still pleasing the modern conception of ambient music. Sir Arthur C Clarke died recently, so this ‘retro ambience’ is really quite topical.
Sanad presented a piece which I quite enjoyed, the overall form was quite hap hazardous, however the musical ideas were solid and plentiful. Dave Dowling presented “the Aqua Tower,” his own Max/MSP application which requires a degree in Computer Engineering, as well as a IQ of one hundred and fifty or more to understand. Finally, Edward Kelly presented a Bidule he created which essentially allows distortion to be added to an audio stream.
I presented the Cathode Ray Tube Suite. I was pretty nervous and hence struggled to express what I wanted to and hence got more nervous (and so on). I would like to present in forum as often as possible this year to improve in this area.

Thanks for the compliments :-)
I thought your CRT suite was great too, I guess it's a pity about the lack of sub response from the Bose setup, because much of the appeal of that piece for me was in the low frequencies that you can feel (at EarPoke for sure) and it contrasted well with the highs.
yeah unfortunately the poweramp and bose speakers we have in the space at the moment are a bit shot.
