After the release of the Sequencer Edition last November I’ve worked more on improving a little bit the enclosure. My main goal was using a little bit better materials and closing up the sides, for a more solid, finished feel. After a lot of thinking and design iterations I ended up “borrowing” an idea from Critter and Guitari. A bent…
As soon as I discovered the new update for the Teensy Audio Library I decided to put it to some use. I had a couple of guitar pedal parts around and a nice little OLED display from ebay. I stacked the Teensy Audio Adaptor below my own Teensy Synth control board. and squeezed them into the stomp box case. On the…
I really love using the Teensy micro controller. It goes almost into every project I do, from art installations to MIDI controllers and instruments. That’s why I developed a small break out board with some of the most common features I use. It break outs the digital and analog pins in groups also a 3.3V, VCC, and GND bus. A…
This is a TB-303 clone build based on the x0x-heart board from Open Music labs and my own Teensy Synth control board. Built into a hand crafted wooden enclosure with a lid (thanks to my super Demi babe) and an engraved aluminium face plate. It has MIDI DIN in, through, audio out, controls over waveform, glide, tune, decay, accent, filter…
Couple of days ago I was wondering by which artists and labels I’ve been playing tracks mostly the last few months. After a quick search I realized that I can’t even export DJ charts out of Traktor. So one sleepless night I developed a small Processing application that would pull and count track plays from Traktor’s History records. Every time…
I am happy to announce the release of a third Digital Warrior edition. The new hardware controls are focused on the stand alone sequencer firmware, turning the MIDI controller into an full blown 4 track monophonic MIDI synth sequencer. The new expansion board adds a small 7segment display and 3 buttons that help in the programming of patterns and simplify switching…
One day out of the blue I was contacted by Nektarios Rodosthenous, he was looking for electronic performers for his music theater piece called Τραύμα. At first I was quite skeptic as I haven’t acted since my high school fays, but as soon as I saw the piece I was amazed and knew I had to be part of it.…
Upon returning back to Cyprus, I was more than happy to learn that I got accepted to participate in Park In Progress 11. A mobility program initiated by French Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes that would take place in Cyprus at the Municipal Gardens in collaboration with Artos Foundatiopn. Over one week more than 20 artists would prepare and present their work during…
During August and September I was more than privileged to work with Daniel Büttner on his start-up, Rescued Ideas. Based at the WAALD creative group offices in Berlin. During my stay I tested a lot of haptic actuators for the Basslet, a wristband that connects with your mobile and lets you feel the bass of the music on the go,…
For my university thesis research I worked on mapping brain waive activities to emotional states and behavior. The goal was to utilize that as a control interface for performances. The EEG headset I used was a Neurosky MindWave, to overcome the device’s slow refresh rate and latency I re implemented a communication library that would analyze and re calculate the…
