Music for Solo Controller 1

Music for Solo Controller 1

finally getting around to making music with my launchpad and max/msp. getting the software and hardware to play nice with each other is still a challenge (the midi gets bogged down when 4 or more patterns are triggered), but overall i finally ‘get’ what all the hubub about the monome. i think my best description is that it’s bringing modular improvisation (that i’m very much into) very successfully into the a very programmable music machine that is easy for anybody to intuitively music with. (kinda like an very sophisticated orff instrument for adults)

this track was created using my novation launchpad, max/msp, nonome (monome emulator) and the polygome64 (P4/M2) inside of ableton live.
