I had the pleasure to take part in the 2nd Modality Meeting initiated by Jeff Carey, taking place from 12.5.–20.5.2011 at STEIM, Amsterdam.
The task of this meeting was to design and implement a general purpose interface to easily hook up arbitrary sensors and controllers to SuperCollider and provide a framework of dispatching functionality to define their behavior on a higher level. The results of our efforts will be soon available as the modality quark (an extension to SuperCollider).
During the residency, several public events happend, including a presentation at the STEIM Open studio night, a concert at DNK, and a presentation including a performance at the regular STEIM Hotpot event.
On Tuesday, 10th, I also conducted a workshop on Auditory Augmentation at STEIM.
