Digital Drum Circle

Let’s make music together. The Digital Drum Circle is a project and device that I have been working on since early 2011. The basic concept is that we can replace/intergrate traditional hand drums with algorithmic synthesis through Ableton Live, Max4live, and a simple midi controller. Let’s play.

The above photo was taken August 2011 at the International Expressive Therapy association (IEATA) conference in Lima, Peru.

This is a long video of my presentation and jumping ahead might save me some embarrassment (minor popping and locking involved) and be more interesting.

Some of the things I am working on related to Digital Drum Circle:

conduct an orchestra/compose a symphony
video integration
more SYNTHS!!!!
