Names Piece (2009)
This Max/MSP patch is for a composition by David Broome. A large stuffed animal is the subject of the composition. The purpose is to name the animal. Thirteen audience members each have two switches, one corresponding to the name on the left side of the screen, and one to the right. The audience has four seconds to vote, during which an electronic musical interlude plays (there are 5 interludes, one for each voting round). At the end of the four seconds the computer tallies the votes, erases the losing name, and pulls up the score corresponding to the name, which the ensemble performs. This is repeated sixteen times (there are 32 total names) during round 1. For round 2, all the winning names from round 1 compete against one another, and so on for rounds 3, 4, and 5 until there are only two names left.
Max4 only please.

NIME (2008)
This PD patch is associated with my superFlute, an internal and dissective amplification and processing system for the alto flute. Three mics are suspended inside the body of the instrument—one under each hand, and one at the end of the instrument. There are six switches (three for each hand) attached to the outside of the flute, which communicate via USB. Two volume pedals control the mic levels via Arduino. The patch demonstrates some of the possibilities of the instrument—several delay lengths are combined with markov chains to produce varying levels of randomness, and three filters are used to accentuate the high-pitched keyclicks or the bassy internal resonance of the instrument. Each different combination of these elements is triggered by a switch mounted on the flute.

filament (2006)
This is a simple Max/MSP patch that plays sine waves at predetermined frequencies. It is used for performances of the composition “filament,” for chamber ensemble and sine waves. The sine waves are triggered by key presses.
Max 4.

Examples of patches made in LiSa available on request. (Used for nonlinear interface and butterfly effect)
