Photon Coercion is the second track from the debut album by Ostracon titled Unauthorized Modifications. The video is a compilation of footage from the “light controllers” that I use to generate the music using the GMS. The album will be released electronically tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21, 2011 and available from all the major electronic outlets as well as directly from Unearthed Music. Also, please join us for the release show on Friday, June 24, 2011 featuring Dosh, Ostracon, Smyth, Ghostband, and live painting by Rogue Citizen.

New Version of GMS for Mac Available

On June 18, 2011 I released a new version of the GMS for Mac OSX that works on Snow Leopard. Previously the software only worked on 10.5.x. This new version can be downloaded from the GMS Google Code download page. The only features that might be new to you are the ability to define musical rest probabilities and video processing options that can be toggled by pressing shift + (1-4). Here’s an example of a few layered GMS midi clips that were generated during the Ostracon performance at the In/Out Festival, September, 2010. Incidentally, this was the last time that Ostracon performed. Since then we have been laying low in anticipation of our release show this Friday, June 24, 2011.

Finally the GMS meets the Roland MKS-80. During our Ostracon release performance coming up on Friday, June 24, 2011 I plan on using the MKS-80 for the first time in a live setting… vis-à-vis without a keyboard. Here’s a bassline I generated and looped in Ableton with the GMS routed to the MKS-80 controlled by the Bitstream 3X.

This segment from our performance at The Battle of Everyouth on June 4, 2011 has some nice chaotic drums from Graham and resampling from Luke over the top of some steady Pro-One arpeggiation and bass from Jon Davis.
