I rendered this odd percussion sequence from a GMS practice session in Ableton Live.

GMS Performance Excerpt #2
Here’s another unedited excerpt from a recent performance using the GMS. This example contains two live looped layers in a similar range at 124 bpm.
As shown in the photo, I was using a string of patio lights as one of my “light controllers” to create the sequences.

Robotic Guided Vehicle Beeps
While touring a newspaper printing facility recently, my group came to an area where robotic guided vehicles were transporting giant reams of newsprint around. Each robot beeped at a different frequency from the next. Here’s what that sounded like.

MAW Outing GMS Excerpt
Here’s a segment of audio from Wednesday’s MAW outing at Art Institutes Minnesota in downtown Minneapolis. I’m pretty happy with the arpeggiated, melodic loops I’m able to achieve with the right settings and a good light controller using this application. For video documentation of what was happening at the event, please visit minneapolisartonwheels.org.
This video shows me using various light controllers, including a string of patio lights, bike lights, and LED spinning tops to construct compositions using the GMS.

Newspaper Printing Facility Ambiance
Recently I escorted a group of students on a tour of the Star Tribune’s printing facilities. I couldn’t stay for the whole tour, but managed to record a little bit of sound while I was there.
There were lots of chatty students and a wordy tour guide, but I managed to sneak away and record a few examples of conveyor belts, fork lifts, robotic paper transporters, and general machine noise.
Here’s an except of some ambiance I captured in the paper warehouse area where these giant reams of news print were brought in by railway cars.
