Tea + Jam
My friend Pete Vilk and I recently finished a little website about our Tea and Jam project. Check it out!
Tea + JamThe idea was to build an interface where people could come help us make some sound and music while drinking tea in a relaxing atmosphere. We're going to keep developing it, so this will probably evolve a lot in the near future.
This week I'm working on a short video. It will be done by Friday, I'll upload it here as soon as it's finished. See you then!
Wii Loop Machine 1.1
The response to my Wii Loop Machine software was truly overwhelming, it took me completely by surprise. It has motivated me to work much harder on it, and today I finished a website dedicated to the Loop Machine where you can download the new version 1.1:
The Official Wii Loop Machine WebsiteThis update only changes a few things (described on that page), but over the next couple of months I hope to keep working on it to incorporate most of the suggestions people have made - bpm/tempo settings, quantization, and audio input, to name just a few. Check back often for news and updates. As always, don't hesitate to get in touch with comments or questions.
