Richard Bennett performing Sustained Strings
I've hooked up GRID 3 to work with Apollo Ensemble (https://www.apolloensemble.co.uk) so that Richard (DJ HOTSOX) can play corresponding notes with his Eyegaze Here you'll see his GRID which I've mapped to Apollo Ensemble.This is work in progress - next steps are to explore adding variation of note duration and dynamics. #disabilitymusic #grid3 #eyegaze #apolloensemble #lockedinsyndrome #accessiblemusic

Research & Innovation Conference: DJ Hotsox - DJing Live From London - Brussels.
DJ Hotsox is Richard Bennett - a bio chemist with locked in syndrome. I work with Richard helping him to compose and perform music with his eyes.

4g Connectivity!
In the studio today we managed to hook up teamviewer, Eyegaze and Ableton! So now we are triggering and remixing our own music. We were able also to hook up Spotify so that Richard could see the Lyrics on his screen as I triggered the tracks in Ableton and Spotify! #4g #teamviewer #eyegaze

We are so excited - no MIDI required - YET! Ideally we will be looking at continuous controllers that we can use - and that will be MIDI. Anyhow a great end to the year - we are going to remotely use Eyegaze and Ableton - Richard at t

Goth Remixing using Ableton!
Had a lot of fun today, using Ableton Live to cut 4 bar samples from famous goth tracks - then appying effects to each sample. First off we set the BMP to the track, then cut random 4 bar loops out of the track. We then applied FX to the samples. Our favourite was EQing to make the track sound like it was next door then putting a real time filter over the loop to bring it up to it's full spectrum! Richard could pick the sample he wanted to trigger by looking up - we automatic
