Music and audio stuff
by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
I write music and some audio code.
Audio apps I've written
- ttrk is a MIDI sequencer with a tracker interface
- thud is a drum machine I wrote with some friends in spring 1999
- volcheck is some code I wrote to test recording levels
- miditool is a hack for using my DX7 as a controller, mostly
- mp3player is my web-based MP3 player system
Recordings
I haven't recorded much, although I have copies of most of the shows
I did with Dave and Mike. I posted some songs to mp3.com in 1999 under
the names BitBlit and Cyclic Redundancy. I also did a
recording in summer 1997 arranged with my friend Bryan Fulsom
called 'Helicentric Dreams' which I will post the mp3 of sometime
soon.
Events I've played at
- Tony Abou-Assaleh and I
played a very brief set at a CS geekbeer event at Dalhousie, January
23rd 2004.
- Dave Evans and I
have played together
at all three of Albert
O'Connor's electronica
night's. At the first two we called ourselves 'Expert Knob Frobbers',
but at the last one we were known as 'Betacam SP'.
- With Mike Ang and Dave,
we played at a waveform event in the SLC Multipurpose room, 21 October 1999.
We again performed at a CKMS band night at the Bomber, and we did a crazy
mostly-drum-machine set at the Grad House. We called ourselves
'Cyclic Redundancy'.
- I played at the outdoor waveform event 'Close
Encounters' in the SLC courtyard on 16 July 1998. I designed the
really bad flyer.
- I played a live set at a Waveform event in
my first term at Waterloo, 28 November 1997.
- I played live at a highschool dance in my OAC year. Ken McWeeny and
I did a remix of Girls Just Want To Have Fun with vocals by
Diana Biggs and Zu Szlachcic. Scary.
- I played a talent show event in high school, I think when in grade 12, with
James Gervais and Ken McWeeny. It was a trancy song with James
doing scary spoken word on top of it, using the D-110's acoubass sound as a
303ish lead. I believe this was my performing debut.
