Katrin Beckmann

By thisisuser on January 25, 2012

Now here’s a nice surprise: a couple of video sketches by Katrin Beckmann where she’s using older material of mine from Marsism.

So much is happening all the time that I tend to forget the true nature of what I have been doing. But Katrin’s videos made me recall and reconsider these older tracks, and it was a very nice experience. My performance tool has developed a lot since I made then, and a few things – particularly regarding the mix – I would do different today. But the tracks do have some nice and strong ideas, with a very logical and natural development, and Katrin reaches into that very nicely, creating suspense and expectancy.

As I am preparing for my Mindwaves release, I will surely go back and get an impression of what I did, to see what kind of spin-offs this could produce for my new tracks. And who knows – maybe I can convince Katrin to do a video for it?

The programming I am doing for my own electronica and interactive music performance purposes has let me into research topics that have spun off a few snippets of generally useful software. This is available in the toolbox page.

Finally, the 3D Sound Object is a sound diffusion concept that holds very interesting artistic promises, and I am discussing the concept and pieces I have made on the 3D Sound Object page.
