What a night! Overlap’s Max/MSP/Jitter/Live Salon last Wednesday, July 22, is still unleashing sonic booms here in San Francisco. We had a packed house of 60+ at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts thanks to the powerful convergence and collaboration of Overlap.org, BArCMuT and a goodly-sized chunk of the Dorkbotsf posse.
It was an extraordinary Salon of wonderful presentations and excellent community interaction. Lots of old friends were gathered, many new ones made. The community discussions spontaneously arising between presentations were equally fascinating: Lidar data sharing, custom controller building, the difference between 3, 6 and 9 over 4-on-the-floor and the Past, Now and Future of electronic music/visuals as an indicator of cybernetic merger.
I’ve put a recap post of the Salon up on Overlap with links to sites and software presented: the [mattbot.euclid] Max external by Matt Ridenour aka VJ Mattbot, the Ohm64 synthesis patches and control applications by Peter Nyboer of Livid Instruments and the Max/MSP/Jitter Depot repository by Michael Zbyszynski and all the elves at CNMAT.
I’ve also created a Flickr set of the evening.
We’re working on the Salon for August now, more details soon. Visit Overlap.org for other good stuff in the mean.
