Wii Play the Drums
This is a fun little piece of software that turns your wiimote into a drum kit. It uses natural drum-kit motions to trigger sounds, and it is easy to set up on any windows pc. You can get the source code here.

Suite for AudioSurf
AudioSurf generates gameplay based on music. That gives us musicians a unique opportunity to act as level designers. See how I took advantage of this.

ViPer by Tae Hong Park

At the 10am concert, one of the more interesting pieces was Tae Hong Park's ViPer. The piece was scheduled for a live performance, but at the last minute, the performers were unable to be there. So we listened to a recorded version, which was still quite compelling.

This piece has no program notes, and the only note online reads "for violin, drum kit and 7 channel tape."

Awesome work! We really need a community of -composers- level designers for audiosurf! :D

That's a great idea, Zelda Duck. If you, or anyone else, writes something for AudioSurf, send me a link: evan (at) thisisnotalabel (dot) com

One problem with that is that it's tough to distinguish between music written for AudioSurf, and just music in general. That's part of the reason why I tried to make a lot of Surf-related references in the suite above. From the titles, to the samples used, to the actual contour in Dunes, I tried to saturate the music with beach images.

Here you go: http://www.eegra.com/pages/show/title/26_02_2008_Speaking_of_Audiosurf___/ Hope it sends at least a handful of hits your way. Well done on being the first person to do this, and thanks! I'm very curious to see (hear, rather) all the variations on the same concept, that I expect will appear before too long.

Just to let you know, I've posted a video of me playing Horizon on AudioSurfBoard: http://audiosurfboard.com/2008/03/01/evan-x-merz-horizon/ Great job, I enjoy all 5 songs, they create fun tracks in Audiosurf.

This is a random person saying Hello to you! I could not have enjoyed music any better than your fantastic suite. Absolute favorite has to be "Sunrise" but all of them were fantastic. I honestly do look forward to anything new you come up with. I know this is rather late, but it's things like this that make me want to yell "This is what Music is!" Good day.
