Kyle McDonald captured this video of a hack of Byeong Sam Jeon’s telematic drum circle:

I got a little bored with re-aligning switches for the pneumatics and resetting various modules, so I dug through Byeong Sam’s code. Since it was just 16 serial ports, each at 9600 baud receiving characters ‘1′ through ‘9′ for velocity, I wrote a Processing app to translate MIDI notes to control the drums.

So now I can control them with my Trigger Finger, or using sequenced rhythms in Live.

    Hey Kyle,

    That is pretty neat! Have you shared that with Byeong Sam?

      something to think about

      The reason no record label knows how to market anything to new media is they don’t live there. They don’t get it because they don’t use it. — Trent Reznor
