This is a Max/MSP/Jitter patch that can be used to connect the Rock Band guitar controller. The numbers used for mapping are for the Xbox 360 controller on a PC. If you use a Mac, the driver is different and has different numbers for the outputs. If someone ports this for the Mac, let me know and I'll post it here as well. |
Children of the Shred is a real-time computer game in which two players can challenge each other’s music improvisational skills by playing out a narrative adventure with digital or analog instruments. The two players have the choice to be either the zombie slayer or the zombie lord. |
Each instrument is made up of 4 parts in order to create a loop. A stock is assigned to a particular portion of the instrument. As stock data is pulled in for a date, the price modifies the instrument part. If higher the value of the stock, the more notes are played for it's particular portion. The overall performance of the Dow Jones Index changes the speed of the playback. |
I have long been interested in the rhythms of music and video. I have tried before, somewhat successfully, to sit and edit by hand video that felt like it was changing with the music. My world has been turned upside down by learning to use Max/MSP/Jitter. With these programs I can take video and audio clips and mix them together in a live situation. |
