Lilium is a post-digital cine-symphonic mural that depicts a supernatural world inhabited by playful and energetic hybrid species. Lilium explores overlooked cycles of life and death are expressed through disparate temporalities – generative sound and …
Beneath Maiwar is an immersive audio experience based on underwater sounds of the Brisbane river. The quadraphonic algorithmically generated audio installation provides a brief glimpse into the hidden world under the river’s surface. As a …
In the Spatial Video and Sound course, which is part of the Bachelor of Design at Queensland College of Arts and Design, Griffith University, students create 360 videos and add spatial sound to them using …
The Quadra is a DIY beat box based on a custom-designed PCB and powered by an ESP32 microprocessor running software using my M16 audio synthesis library. The PCB includes space underneath for an I2S audio …
The Live Coding Toolkit (LCT) is a suite of Pure Data abstractions (predefined functions) for musical live coding. I have been doing musical live coding performances since 2005 and until now these have been in …
The On Board Call is a hand-held gesture-controlled device that performs synthesised imitations of wildlife calls. These include the sounds of birds, frogs, fish, and the like. Wildlife calls are diverse and often complex; the …
M16 is a 16-bit audio synthesis library designed for use with Arduino-compatible microcontrollers, specifically the ESP8266 and ESP32 families and the Pi Pico. Developed by Andrew R. Brown, M16 enables real-time audio generation and processing using …
This interactive audio installation features human-machine co-creation of emerging sonic structures. Participants become part of a network of bespoke sonic agents – simple computational machines that listen to, and respond with, sound – to create …
Botanica Soundscapes are a suite of ambient musical works designed as a self-guided, mobile phone based, audio-enhanced experience of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. Soundscapes are geotagged and triggered by location. The sound walk plays a …
Chatterbox is an interactive installation that allows audiences to communicate with it through proximity. Chatterbox plays on the idea that voice communication is possible, even in times of social distancing, but that it can be …
The Micro Mono Control (MMC) is a DIY MIDI controller and monophonic synthesizer based on the Arduino Pro Micro running the MIDIUSB and Mozzi audio libraries. Designed by Andrew R. Brown with great assistance from …
This practical, project-based book I co-authored with Alex Ruthmann from New York University, is designed for music students, educators, and aspiring coders who want to explore the creative possibilities at the intersection of music and …
Audio-Visual Interiors is a quadraphonic audio-visual composition performed by the live electronic duo of John R. Ferguson and Andrew R. Brown. Both composers have developed bespoke instruments for this work. Andrew R. Brown explores ring modulation …
This book introduces readers to concepts in computational thinking and coding alongside parallel concepts in music, creative sound, and interaction. In this practical, project-based book, music students, educators, and coders are assisted to engage with …
Jam2jam applications generate music that you can control while it plays. Even better, you can connect via a network with your friends who have jam2jam to jointly control the music. Jam just like a band, …
In late 2019, I hosted at Griffith University a visiting researcher, Dr. Vesa Norilo, from the Sibelius Academy in Finland. During his visit, Vesa worked with me on new tools and techniques for electronic instruments. …
In the Real-Time Systems course, which is part of the Creative Music Technology major of the Bachelor of Music at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, students create and perform bespoke software instruments using Pure Data (Pd), …
Timothy Tate (PhD) Redundant audio technologies including magnetic-tape, turntables and early samplers are classed as low fidelity audio technologies. Today a minority of practitioners favour these technologies, using hacking/circuit bending techniques to build new instruments, …
Kevin Purcell (DMA) This research will develop design practices, or strategies, that provide relevant, creative solutions to expand the live orchestral and musical theatre experience beyond the common practice of stage performance alone. The intention …
Mauricio Iregui (PhD) This project, Immersive Audio-visual Objects: New Opportunities at the Intersection of Electronic Music and Interactive Visual Media, queries how we experience sound and moving image, with a particular emphasis on immersivity. The …
