Presented as part of the Electric Spring, Max/MSP Power Users Symposium 2013

Benjamin Thigpen discusses the use of Max in his creative practice, a talk given as part of the Max Power Users Symposium at the 2013 Electric Spring festival of electronic music, held at the University of Huddersfield.

As a follow-up to the previous evening's concert of the duo Rust (Jean-François Laporte and myself), I will discuss the technical / Max aspects behind the music. That is, I will explain and demonstrate how everything works: the processing, the communication between the two performers, the methods of control. I will not present Jean-François' acoustic instruments (he would need to do that); nor will I enter into discussions of the aesthetic dimensions of things (we can talk about it over a beer). Instead I will show and demonstrate each patch, explaining the various methods I use and how they have evolved over time. It's the kind of thing that might be interesting to hard-core Max users and technology geeks…
