The nature and 'features' of sputnik might not have been clear in the last video, so I decided to record a quick walkthrough (including me speaking, which sounds a bit silly).

I am still looking for participants for my user study. If you are a musician, or just interested in music, or just curious and want to try out sputnik, this is your chance! It will take place on the 12th of december at a time that suits you (there are slots available around the whole day) at KUA, i.e. the southern campus of Københavns universitetet på Amager.

It's about time for another update on sputnik. I have been working hard since the last update on the code as well as on the paper, which isn't as easy as I hoped it was.

As part of my paper I have to do a small user study to evaluate the project. Soooo,.. if you are a musician, or have a general interest in music or funky images with sound, and happen to be near Copenhagen in mid december, just drop me a line. The study will take place at KUA on monday the 12th of december. Time slots will be available from about 10am till sometime in the evening.

Some time ago, I promised more details on my next project. Well, here it is!

Following my current fondness for the mid-last-century space race it is called Sputnik. It is/should be a New Interface for Musical Expression, or NIME for short. But what is all that mumbo jumbo, you ask?

I never thought that I would write this blog post. At least, I could not have seen me writing this blog post yesterday. But today, after the news of Steve Job's death spread around the world, I feel a strange urge to share a few personal thoughts.
