I've been working on this tool for the last couple of months.

Basically deQuencher is a live improvising and sequencing tool that enables you to sequence out of phase timed events between objects that you put on screen, and those objects interact with each other based on proximity. The frontend is programmed in processing, and audio engine is supercollider(in fact you can add a couple of lines of code to your existing synth definitions in SC and they will be controllable by deQuencher).

The objects can be sound generating synths(parameter-trigger in, audio out), fx synths(audio in, audio out), parameters, and triggers(t_trig type) and they can send their datas to each other when they are close enough.

It records your mouse gestures for setting timed sequences, once a gesture(with any duration and complexity) is recorded, you can alter it(for now, scale movement, scale bond distance / proximity threshold, frame clipping for syncing gestures and adding noise to movement) to suit your realtime needs.

More info will be available at my website, I'll edit this description soon. If you want me to keep you posted, let me now, as I'll be releasing the software and sources.

This is a sample output of something I've been working on lately. A somewhat intelligent cellular automata system that I developed with some atari2600 style sonification.

Poor figure that you see at the beginning triggers a relatively complex cellular life system(which is based on conway's rules but it's not ahistoric and can switch rules on the fly depending on the situation) and I've done some work to sonify the life with atari2600 sounds. I have no control over the system once it is started, and it dies by itself.

Software used:

Processing connected to SuperCollider via osc_p5 library and the great p5_sc library, and I used the Atari2600 UGen by Fredrik Olofsson, all custom software.

It is actually in stereo but Youtube bastardizes the content by converting everything to mono. If anyone is interested in the original, i can send links.

Kkrenum Duo playing in experimental instruments night.

Me playing guitar with live processing via SuperCollider, and my friend twiddling some knobs with PureData. This was a 20min performance but the batteries for the camera ran out at 11:30 or so. Because Youtube has a 10 minute limit for videos, I've uploaded it in 2 parts. This is part one.

Part 2 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =VRzYrauQ_Gc

This has to be one of the funniest and most disturbing videos ever. It's an educational video for kid's called, "It's Potty Time" It's got such classic songs as "Wipe Wipe Wipe Yourself, Always Front to Back" and my personal favorite, "She is a Super Duper Pooper" which contains the best song line ever, "She's the best pooper we know". It is my goal in life to have someone say that about me one day. However, this video gets disturbing with that fairy in a beret and suspenders that is watching the kids as they go to the bathroom. I also object to a clown sending kids to the bathroom. If I was a kid I'd be terrified thinking that there is going to be some goober playing a flute, while I'm trying to pinch one off. That might just constipate a kid for life.

Kelvin, John and Bazil flying flat out (except for pussy Bazil) down this epic Welsh danger run - topping out at around 60mph near the start and near the end. Watch for Kelvin's attempt to overtake John on the exit of the left right chicane... Fail.
