Name My New Project
June 5, 2009 – 12:03 pm by John Keston
Here’s a segment from another jam session using the GMS with Graham O’Brien on drums. This was our second attempt, and performed at a slower tempo than the third piece that I posted excerpts from recently. I’m looking forward to the next session because I’ve done a bit of refining within the GMS code, including some optimization and bug fixing.
I was going to name this project “Particle System” (as in particles of light that drive the GMS), but then I learned that there’s a popular band called “Particle” and decided against it. I’m horrible at naming things, so if any of you ACB readers have any brilliant ideas, let ‘um fly.

The lights like like persistence of vision experiments to me…is persistence of vision taken? Abbreviates nicely anyway, POV.

That was supposed to say “look like” above. Alas. Btw, these jams are sounding excellent, when are you playing a set in Atlanta? :)

You’re definitely onto something there, Grant. POV brings afterimage to mind which might be a good one too.

“Sprinkler” springs to mind. Or “Bursting bubbles”, “Bubble burst”..
“Zero-gravity bubble-burst” would be a name that if someone used it, I would like to hear what he has to say. And you definitely have much!
Cheers

How about something like “sround”? As it’s round and sound/performance related. Thinking about it, a “soründ” variant would be even sweeter, with the umlaut sort of indicating that it’s “u” controlling the dots/particles/buttons…

what about just calling it “LED”, or “transmitter”
