thats really neat, can you tell more about the configuration?

[feelmystic]

Absolutely. Terrence uses Rockband drums connected to a computer via USB (using JunXion) along with a program Quartz Composer by Apple so he can control the visuals using the drum pad and bass pedal (which rotates through the different visuals). Matt uses Ableton Live along with a midi keyboard to control the sound and has a wiimote that can control the visualizer as well. Meanwhile, Megan and Curtis are live painting to the music on the left.

Whats so funny? Were you in that class?

[mloniero]

Hahaha.

My Ghost Rider was better. But I liked all the others very creative.

Who's face is that at 0:59. Looks like Arnold Swarzenegger in the Running man when they put him in that high speed ride.

I didn't know someone was filming this I would have smiled and waved.

[Shadyac21]

I remember that day. I was supposed to go to Disneyland that day. But I didn't, cause of an exam I had.

[Shadyac21]

I'm in that class. I thought it was good but disturbing. I liked it but for some reason I don't want to like it. I felt insulted as artist that I work hard using my hands and my mind. And along comes this computer that replaces me.
