This is just me

Thanks to my friend Denis for this video footage cut made in 2010.
This is just me before & during an electronic performances festival in Marseille.
It was a nice moment.

New York’s trip

Invited by Chris from In/Out Festival, I went to USA.
It was a so nice trip, experience, visit!
I went with close family & friend.

The protodeck has been VERY damaged during the travel (plane), and I had to fix it but finally it was very complicated to make that in the hostel’s room!
So… it happens.

Here are some photos of the first event, protodeck’s workshop :

After this workshop on saturday, I did a music live performance in the evening.

On next day, sunday, I did a 20′ ambient/drone live performance @ Issue Room Project in Brooklyn. Chris Gilroy made the visual.
It was a so nice experience!

Thanks Jared (Smyth) for the photo!

I want to thank :
- Chris & Philip from In/Out festival ; they are sweet and were more sorry than me for the protodeck’s health…
- Jared for his enthusiasm and VERY nice performance.
- Keiko for the share event @ Issue Project Room ; we’ll share ideas & music & events in the future, for sure!

the workshop

It was a success because there were a lot of discussions, questions, explanations, etc.

A VERY heterogeneous public, but very enthusiastic persons.
Really interesting.
I have to thank all of them a lot!

Special thanks to Michèle for communication/publication, to Denis for technical support & advices!

I met a lot of interesting/interested person.
With some of them, we’ll probably have projects soon.

I’ll probably design some others workshop around midibox, arduino.

Thanks to Ahmad Compaoré for his presence and his photos below.

press wrote a little news about me (wow!)

La Provence is a local newspaper in France.
I have been contacted by Charlotte Ayache & Julien Rafano for a little interview.
They are really nice persons and the discussion was very interesting for me (and for us, I hope)
Here is the article:

the little clip by Denis Laffont

the workshop is almost finished

I have 2 workshops sessions already booked:
- Marseille 8 september
- New York Manhattan 17 september

It will talk about the making of the protodeck but not only technically speaking.
I want to talk about:
- experiences about Live and why simplification doesn’t mean to reduce features but to power your framework
- why I didn’t buy a ready-to-use controller
- why the use of mouse + keyboard only is very bad
- why I use rgb leds + buttons instead of beautiful rubby gum buttons
- to know how many buttons you want is more important than how you’d wire them
- thinking more about “timing stuff” & “filtering objects” than filter,delay,reverb,resonator etc, can make you more intuitive than before
etc

I enjoyed to prepare that, and I guess I’ll enjoy to provide it.
It would be a 2hours session.

I hope you’ll be numerous here or there!

I’d love to make a protodeck with all in my hands in one day in front of interested people.

It could be done in marseille.
I’m designing a new controller, it isnt a big secret.
I’d probably have parts and I’d LOVE to have you here, with me, learning to solder, to upload codes and to leave for home with your controller under the arm !!!
