Banq Ourobouros




got this of the old site.
realy pleased with this one.was an lp me and guy made with a bunch of kids.
heres the blurb from the time.....

Flame Academy are a stupagroup made up from members of the Southmead Sound School and I Am The Mighty Jungulator.
Their debut lp "Banq Ourobouros" was recorded between 9 august 2005 and 13 august 2005, as part of the PAYP funded series of workshops. The young people were encouraged by the jungulator to free their mind of structure and to create an original lp through learning to jam and improvise. IATMJ's awareness of band dynamics helped to take the young adults through a series of situations which illustrated and demonstrated the problems of working in a band whilst enabling them to role play various solutions .The participants learnt how to make musical compromises whilst working as a group, learnt how to communicate their ideas to others and working practice of jamming.

Culture Crunch



me jungulator sites not working perfectly so ive started to archive the stuff on it here.......

here be culture crunch......



This is something we've been trying to organise since 1999, we almost nailed it in 2003, but only now are the technology and the ideology in place to actually pull it off . . . previously we were held back by bandwidth, modem speed, feet of clay, etc . . .

Essentially, Culture Crunch Online is a little downloadable virtual television set, which sits on your desktop and plays a random stream of found sound, snippets of video, endlessly evolving, but never repeating . . .we were inspired by the recurring sci-fi motif of alien beings learning about earth by watching our TV broadcasts, usually on many screens at once, or as a cumulative montage (like David Bowie's character in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth', or the aliens in 'Explorers')

so . . . what you are watching is the world's first live generative streaming TV channel . . . whereas our previous attempts at getting this beast online foundered on the rocks of 'not enough money' this time everything is in place . . . the aim is to give you the user the definitive monged-out post-everything tv channel experience . . . broadcasting from a disturbed near-future a mixture of infotainment, blipverts, beauty and bullshit . . . all juxtaposed accidental comedy, pathos and new meaning . . .

Pieces for offload explained.....


thought id better explain the music in the last post......

tis for this gig...offload at the colston hall. Ive been asked to reinterperate some Ligeti peices with the jungulator by using some information gathered from the audience.

in order to keep data collection simple and easy to partake in,im planning only to take three pieces of information from the audience...and for that they only need to do two things.
remember the information the jungulator likes best is time and distance.... so with this in mind when the audience gives in data they will be presented with a computer with a map on it, and invited to mouse click on a map to show where they have traveled from, and to input an estimated traveling time.
from this information i can get distance traveled,time taken to travel, and direction (n.s,e,w but expressed as a coordinate with the colston hall as point 0,0).
this information is then used to organise the music data, put into the jungulator.

the information will be gathered on a pc running a max patch (ill use lcd to have a clickable map-then after clicking on yer basic location a text input box comes up asking for estimated time traveled)
then using the points plotted on this map,i can then work out distance traveled to colston hall and map direction. the information will be stored in a coll file which then is easy to transport over to my machine as a text file.....so no worries... data gathering,quick,clean and easy.

i can do a lot then with these three basic questions.

the first thing im doing is gonna reorginise the info into one big line,and use this as a score....so basical have one big distance line,with the points of distance marked on it,then map this on to the length of music. so when a point appears it will be used as an event trigger

the total travel time is found then avaverged out, the peronal travel time can then be expressed as a percentage of a total time, this information will be used a the time for length of trigger....or the trigger time

the map direction of point traveled from is worked out as a 2 point coordinate, with the colston hall a point 0,0 (tho might make something else the centre...cos it might make the information east,south and north bias......no one will live s.e cos of the sea......but it should be alright.....)anyway i can then used this information for spacialisation, and for flow of movement.....tis called for purposes of explanation direction

ok so how does this relate to the examples i.ve made........

part five

the jungulator has been set up into 8 record pods.
using the event trigger a sound is played for the trigger time. and this sound is recorded into the jungulator.each new trigger goes to a new pod,sequentialy.
the direction is used for sound spacialisation, (though i was thinking using 8 pods arrange like a compass and using the direction for choice of sound input).
the event triggers in this example arnt read from the time line sequentiayl, but are chosen at random,and played one after another.


part four

this is the same process as above,but all the event triggers are read sequentialy from the futherst to the closest.
one nice thing about this..cos more people will live to close to bristol,the sound will first be orginised quite far apart but on for longer,then the later information should be closer togehter and shorter.


part three

not the nicest sounding one...
here i was using 3 pods of the jungulator recording togther.and using the trigger times but all set from the same event trigger (the colston hall point 0,0).
dirction is used to plot the quad sterio..... and north or south of colston hall is used to determine wether the sound is trigger to the left (forwards) or to the right (backwards).
the event triggers are read randomly till they're all used up

part two

this one has the jungulator set up to five record pods and event triggers and trigger times are read sequential (the futhest from colston hall first and played one after the other) again direction is used to spatialise the sound.

part one-two

the jungulator has been set up to record into (all at once) 6 pods. the event triggers and trigger times are read sequentialy but from the colston hall (point 0)outwards. when each new event is played a jungulator pod is muted til there is none left then unmuted till theyre all playing again.

part one

the jungulator has been set up to record into 6 pods.the event triggers and times are read sequentialy from the futhest to the closest and direction is used for spacialisation.
all pods are playing at once.

Surround piece for charlotte hacker


charlotte very kindly asked me to compose some music for a show she was putting on at the anolfini in bristol....

here it b....

tis a quadraphonic quicktime...first time ive done one of these.....

Free the Grooverider


i signed up for the free grooverider petetion.
not sure the comments are realy a help......heres a selection....

In Dubai your people smoke addictive tobbaco in hooka pipes, yet you imprison people for smoking non addictive herbs? I will stear clear of Dubai.

he was just doing what everyone else would do

free da rider cus he is a sik dj n an international gangsta n he missed drum n bass awards dats savage man SO FREE DA RIDER

Just send the man home already.

man comon thats like nothing... everybody smokes these days.

its pathetic its cannabis it grows in the soil you live on.. and as for the man who was caught with 0.003g i probably sweat more than that out every day of my life.. PATHETIC

Freedom rocks

all he had was a fat 10 draw on him dats fuk all man i doe see da point he shud juz get a slap on da hand but dem dik'eds made him miss drum n bass awards nw dats a piss

Grooverider is aTrue Bad Man, Heavy like a Wah

thai porn and a bit off puff, no big deal, let him out

myspace.com/DjGreencode

if we were the usa we would bomb them ... i say lets do it

How stupid must you be to take hard core porn and hash to the UAE - the guy who booked him says he told by fax to be careful - I have no sympahty

HE MADE THE SAFER CHOICE

I don't know who this guy is, but nobody should be jailed for a tiny bit of pot.

You little sissy boy Def Leopard sucks!

will do Gerry, sure I'll let ye kno the craic, sure we might have round up a few of the aul boys ;) ... & he wont be long in there.

Alright Gerry, fancy meetin you on here? who is this Groovyrider fella anyway? I'll get onto the MLA's about this & we'll see what the chuckle bros. can do!

this is the baddest man from arrington hear me now i say this once and once only RELEASE GROOVERIDER give him one more chance

c'mon my fellow Dubians. we must be easy with dude. i always smoke in Dubi land. i smoke w the cats that check me for dubbies at the airport. let's be real, these dudes don't like bald headed dudes. that's ri-cock-ulous

I find this situation very alarming and upsetting. You may make no bones about appreciating the ladies but you'd hardly be the first such male, and at least you're open about it rather than sexually repressed and dangerous, as for the weed - what small minded ignorant individual would even consider carrying a personal amount to be a crime; may God/Allah and all His love be with you Grooverider.

Chill yourselves, arabs!

many a night spent listen to the man

I think we should send this to our PM as well

Sexual Relief is not a crime. My cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it land safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else. With this in mind i think you should release The Rider you big bunch of meanies.

OMG I hope this helps!

He didn't give my friend a lift when she was stranded at Heathrow but I still wouldn't wish 4yrs on him just for that...

i think he has learned a valuable lesson

touchpad omnichord




I got my brother an omnichord for his birthday last year. Ive been writting a midi program for it. Its a complete midi nightmare. You cant turn off it sending drums, and the strip where you play notes doesnt send out note information...so like i say ive been writtaing a program which will let you easily manipulate its midi data....
the main problem is that when using it with logic it seems impossible to turn off the omnichord going in on midi,ive tried setting the midi channel in logic to not accept input on certian channels,but it just wont let me...if anyone knows logic well enough to tell me where im going wrong...

anyway....i'll put that one up when im finished,in the mean time ive made a virtual one.

the way it works is that each row of keys produces a chord, and when the keypad is stroked left to right it plays theses notes (over 4 octives). Like an omni chord you can play 72 different chords

heres the keys

row qwertyuiop[] plays major chords
row asdfghjkl;'\ plays minor chords
row `zxcvbnm,./space plays a 7th

with caps lock on

row qwertyuiop[] plays major minor chords
row asdfghjkl;'\ plays major 7th chords
row `zxcvbnm,./space plays a 7th monr chords

sorry if there isnt a major minor scale, dont realy know the terminolgy.....

it sends out through midi (use IAC for sending to summat like logic, or use the computers on board synth), or you can test it using sinewaves....
the options to send it to a vst synth or a sample arent working yet....
