Wrong Electron is a new media collective with interests in generative audio and visual arts. WE are actively researching and developing new tools and methods in the areas of:
Custom performance, creation and control hardware:
· Instruments
o Midi Hand Drums – rehabilitation
o Hardware Sequencer
· Controllers
o Briefcase (PIC)
o Multichannel DMX LED Controller (Arm7)
· Sensors
o Large Variable Resistors
Development of audio, video & lighting software:
· Custom control environments.
o Visual Generation Patches (VVVV, Jitter)
o Lighting Control Software (Max/Msp/Jitter)
· Hardware interface applications and externals.
o
· Sound generation, Spatialization and processing environments
o Surround Patch (quad, 5.1, octa)(Max/MSP)
o Noise reduction filter (Max/MSP)
· Max/MSP/Jitter and PD externals
o InteractPD USB joystick control interface (Max external)
o InteractPD USB joystick midi interface – can be used to control other midi devices directly (Max external or standalone/pluggin)
o 4 and 8 channel control data routing objects for use with the InteractPD USB joystick control interface (Max external)
o KaossPad control interface (Max external)
o LED indicator routing objects – Useful for tracking current controller target takes input from InteractPD and KaossPad control patches (Max External).
o Audio mute object – restores pre-mute fader level and can receive mute allmessage (Max External).
o Milti-channel midi receive object – quick setup for receiving 8 or 16 channels of midi from outside max (Max External)
o Four, Eight, and Sixteen Channel Audio Mixers (Max Externals)
o LFO Matrix (Max External).

· Visual feed Back
o Effect of network delay.
o
· Lighting and video spanning, perspective and Spacialization
o Lighting surround
o
· Inter-medium connectivity
o Example Scenario: a few selected parameters (frequency, LFO) from various AUDIO sources (ableton effect send, mic/line input) are used to modulate the VIDEO generation patch (VVVV, Jitter, etc). Digital and analogue data is extracted/captured from the streaming VISUALS and utilized by the LIGHTING control (DMX) application/desk (Max/Msp, Hog) to cohere the visual forms. L.E.D. fixtures illuminate dancers with varying colors contributing to the video and motion capture data received by cameras and sensors which…..
