SuperCollider on CrunchBang Linux

[UPDATE] This post has been updated to reflect better practices. Following my post for installing SC3.6 on Ubuntu (Xubuntu) where I advised readers of the awesomeness of #! (CrunchBang) linux I have decided to post a quick how-to for getting SC3.6 IDE installed on your CrunchBang system.

New SuperCollider on (x)Ubuntu

My page on installing SC3.x on Ubuntu has been a popular page here at scacinto.com. Because it was written 3+ years ago, and more importantly, because so much changed with the SC3.6 update I felt compelled to write up another tut. This time I’m installed 3.6.x on Xubuntu 13.10. The flavor of Ubuntu you choose…

Raspberry Pi: first impressions

Getting the Pi Baked I got my Raspberry Pi in the mail yesterday — a long anticipated event. My excitement was slightly deflated when I realized I didn’t have anything I actually needed to make the damn thing run: micro USB for power, an hdmi-dvi adapter so I could actually see and control it, and…

IBeam Laser Show (2011)

It has been almost five months since MuCo performed for the 2nd time at Ibeam and for one reason or another the recording has sadly sat neglected on a hard drive since then.  I finally dug it out, mixed the tracks together (output of kane + scacinto) and here it is for your listening pleasure.…

Xbee: Information and Resources

The XBee RF radio is certainly not new technology, but it remains a tried-and-true means of communicating with microcontrollers in DIY electronic projects.  For those of you unfamiliar with the XBee, it is an RF radio module that can be attached to a circuit via a breakout-board and used to communicate wirelessly with that circuit,…

MuCo in Miami: the recording

Here is the somewhat-delayed recording of our set on the Subtropics festival in Miami on March 20th. I took some video, but it was terrifically dark and the audio was useless as well. I know Gustavo recorded the audio from the room, but I haven’t gotten my hands on it yet. The recording below was…

Audio/Video: Hartford Artspace, April 25th

[wpvideo D3YNrBlv] The above is some low-quality video from our most recent show at Hartford’s Artspace. Below is audio only. The performance space, as you will be able to tell in the recording, was cavernous. I estimate the ceiling to be between 16-20 feet. The room was exceptionally live and reverberant. Our approach is always…

EI4: Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven CT, April 11 2010

  EI4 is a live performance of an interactive electronic program I wrote for SuperCollider. The performer (in this case, me) uses the built-in microphone to scrape, scratch, and otherwise agitate the system. The software configuration consists of a series of reverbs, feedback lines, and samples which are triggered at various times throughout the performance.
