  Gradus ad Erratum: Approaching Glitch Procedures Using RTcmix

  Diving Bell is the trio project David McDonnell (saxophones

  computer

  electronics)

  Jerod Sommerfeldt (computer)

  and Zach Larabee (percussion). Their collaborations focus on spontaneous compositions that highlight evolving dialogues between electronically manipulated saxophone

  a diverse array of percussion instruments

  and modular computer programs. This fusing of analog and digital technology creates dense sonic landscapes

  which they bring to the studio

  refining and editing those improvisations into succinct narrative structures.

  Linear

  Linear is an audiovisual composition that contains several planes of motion: the gradual shift from black and white to color

  the use of shapes with sharply defined lines to those without

  and from the sounds of pure wave oscillators to more complex waveforms.\n\nThis Vimeo video is one realization of Linear

  using a screen capturing program. To properly realize in real time

  the freeware programs Processing and Pure Data are required. Details may be found at jerodsommerfeldt dot com.
