More Discs

There is something fasinating about a floopy disc, it was for a while tangible evidence of work, of intention, of achievemnt. Now it is little better than a coaster, but then the size of your image or your sounds where defined by the storage medium and that storage medium was 3.5 inches square (or there abouts) 8.5 seconds at 44.1kHz, not a lot so you had to pick carefully. Anyway here are some of my latest images that would fit on a floppy disc.

Floppy Disc Tests

Colour Fields Two

I’ve been developing my ‘en-plein air’ drawings into animated colour fields and streamlining my code with AI.  While the relationship with audio remains a challenge I’m excited to explore, my focus remains on vintage equipment. I’ve also returned to Renoise to try a different approach. For the image, colours are sampled from the top, centre and bottom and the sample point moves frame by frame.  The result runs for 2:08 as usual.

 

Less pictures, more Techno

After months of dealing with endless painting and drawings of varying quality, I am revisiting my MPC 1000, old synths and guitar pedals. Releases via Bandcamp and Soundcloud under the name Karman_Lyne.

More Work with Processing

I have had a break from landscape drawing but have been working a lot with Processing to create images drawn from the colours in my originals. After sorting through my fathers work I am determined to leave as little physical stuff around, sketchbooks maybe, racks of paintings, no thank you. So the search is on for a resource friendly approach to making pictures and a way of linking audio and moving pictures to it all.

 

Colour_Fields

I have been having a lot of fun getting Processing to sample my drawings and create colour maps, it is a bit more complicated than that, but not a lot...

 

Spain again...

Off to Valencia soon to deliver on a promise I made last summer, I have packed a small drawing kit (no slate or chalk) and this reminded me I had not posted any of the Peniscola drawings made in the summer of 23, so here they are some of them...
