Adam Overton: KIOSK! April 15, 2002

For KIOSK! I presented two demonstrations using different SuperCollider patches. The first one, The Samuel Barber Remix, used the patch WarpFreezeBufN (also used in the Drawing Marathon) to sample, granulate and manipulate a live input playing from a Samuel Barber CD with Adagio for Strings on it. WarpFreezeBufN is a program that I worked on between February 2002 to June 2002 and presents two channels of manipulation, one for granular processing, and the other for variable loop-point manipulation. It comes with various aux-sends to filters, delays, etc.
I also intended to present the patch, NyQuilCarnival00245, but the music it generated was generally pretty soft, and after a few minutes of battling with the P.A. system that was pounding out a realtime mix of everyone's contributions on the other side of the room, I resolved to move back to The Samuel Barber Remix. NyQuilCarnival00245 was my first attempt (after about one Sunday afternoon's worth of experimentation) to do delve into the algorithmic opportunities presented by the 'Patterns' in SuperCollider.
