Have you been dying to get your regex on when you’re laptop jamming?

If so, and you’re on MacTel, you’ll want to check out Impromptu 2.0.

Impromptu is an OSX programming environment for composers, sound artists, VJ’s and graphic artists with an interest in live or interactive programming.

I’ve embedded an example of Andrew Sorensen’s freestyle Impromptu hacking above.

In the screencast, Sorensen uses an earlier version of Impromptu’s analysis Audio Unit to retrieve FFT data which is then loaded into an image. The image is then blurred using a Gaussian filter. The image data is then pulled from the image and converted for use in vertex and color arrays in OpenGL, such that rgba is xyzw and rbga.

I only understand half of that, but Sorensen makes a compelling argument that Code=Music.

Give Sorensen’s video several minutes so you can see all hell break loose as he live edits a concise coded ambient techno jam.

Details on Impromptu 2.0 below.

If you’re using Impromptu, leave a comment and let us know what you’re doing with it. Read more…
