I’ve been working on porting Fluid Nexus to the Google Android platform, partially, yes, because of their challenge, but also because I want to support a platform that aims to try and open up the world of mobile phones. Here’s a short video with some of the interface features I’ve developed so far. I still have to write the code that deals with Bluetooth sending and receiving; this is more complicated than it should be, because the emulator doesn’t support Bluetooth yet :-(

Just as an FYI, there’s a really great festival coming up at the end of March—beginning of April called the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival or FLEFF. Coincidentally, I’m giving a talk there on Thursday the 3rd from 4-6PM on a great panel with Stephanie Rothenberg, Sharon Lin Tay, and Dale Hudson. I’ll be talking about mobile media, non-representational networks, and the Fluid Nexus project.

I just finished and posted an instructable about simple circuit bending for a sound-making toy. This toy was used in a piece for violin and toy that I wrote for a course in electroacoustic composition. It’s part of a broader goal to create “open-source” compositions, where not only the scores but also other components of my compositions are documented and released for others to see and modify.
