The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

The Daevl.Plugs have received an outstanding review from
Peter Kirn and Liz Knight on Create Digital Music.  The review went up late last Thursday and by Friday morning it was apparent I would have a very busy weekend.

My favorite quote from the review is Peter describing daevl.triad: “In other words, it either does subtler random EQ effects or, if you prefer, eats your tracks alive.”

It’s a great feeling to have the Daevl.Plugs positively reviewed on CDM.  It’s a well-used Firefox bookmark… I’ve been a reader for a long time.  Peter and Liz, next time you’re in San Francisco drinks are on me.

Daevl.Plugs Transmogrification Suite: Insane Sonic Bending Software, Built in Max

The Daevl.Plugs began as components in my personal sonic bag of tricks.  When I first seriously considered releasing them as a plug-in suite I felt certain a group of like-minded musicians would dig them.  I had no idea how large that group was, how fully these plugs would be embraced and just where and in how many ways all these shared paths would intersect.

I love this process of finding out.
