Paris Production
I just came back from Paris. I worked with Ryoji for Dissonanze festival coming on 9th May. I liked the atmosphere there very much. It was different from one in Italy, that I liked as well. I didn’t realize that difference clearly on my previous visit last year. I have prepared the new private software, named CASketch - Core Audio Sketch-, fully based on Leopard (PyObjC), Core Audio and Audio Unit from the scratch before this production. It was more audio-based and flexible than the former one, which was used for the installation version in Japan. But because the base idea of ‘test pattern’, the piece, is so sophisticated and strong already, we found no new functions are needed from the installation version and decided to reuse it with just small modifications. Of course, the new software is very useful for my future production. It’s like a set of frameworks that I really needed for the audio visualization. I’m so excited. Thanks to the developers who made useful Objective-C wrappers for Core Audio (MTCoreAudio, updated to universal binary recently) and Audio Unit (ArkSoundKit). The latter one was very useful and deserves to be better known.
