A Flash Bug is My New Favorite Instrument
July 17, 2005
For the last couple weeks I have been making some flash pieces that create sequenced conglomerations from sounds I've recorded in real space. Basically, the way it werks is I import a sound onto a timeline and then start an interval that @ every n milliseconds jumps the play head to a new random spot on the sound's timeline and continues playing from there. The results have been fun and I am Hijacking them to record onto looping cassettes for my performance.
Earlier today I was running some new sounds through this process and while I was recording I clicked on the top bar of the window to move it and the interval stopped triggering until I let up on the mouse again. Dang this makes these even more fun now that I can 'perform' with the swf and cause more recognizable excerpts or break the rhythm of the interval on cue.
