VOLBEAT STILL COUNTING GUITAR TABS SOFTWARE
The idea behind the software – created by musician Mark Coniglio – is to offer creative practitioners a tool to put together creative software spaces without the need to code things themselves. This is a longer term plan and I’m not prepared to wait until I’ve learnt to code to be able to dig in with creating our jamming tool. I do plan to explore some coding – I’ve learnt HTML and CSS to build this site as a first step and I want to learn about Processing and explore the possibilities of building interactive input devices using Arduino. In my practice, I create video and sound work using other people’s software and I’ve long been curious about trying some creative coding myself. Also, it was all a bit exciting (stressful) for me never quite knowing how everything with the hardware devices and software would interact together as we delivered the sessions. The people who joined us for a jam did join in and have a good time, but I do think that I can improve things – both in terms of the co-creative experience, and the audio visual stuff we all make together – by making something more structured. When you want to make an activity accessible and friendly, order does help. For these sessions, I’d created minimal order, focusing instead on maximum possibilities – all that lovely chaos and fluidity, but it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Our initial sessions in Lochgelly highlighted for me the importance of creating some sort of clear order for the jamming to happen inside of.
VOLBEAT STILL COUNTING GUITAR TABS HOW TO
With spring 2021 upon us and the hope of things opening up once more later this year, now seems like a great time to get back into figuring out how to use Isadora to make a functional and accessible A-V jamming tool to use in sessions. A year when we’ve been working with care homes to develop resources to support front line care staff to get co-creative stuff happening themselves with our Jam Today project (but that’s another story). And not being able to work alongside people since then has meant everything’s been on hold with this project for a year. We only managed a six week run of open studio afternoon sessions before everything closed down. It made for an exciting and chaotic space.
We had some MIDI controllers and webcams as controls and live video/sound inputs into an Isadora setup with the output projected onto a wall. That project was our first time using Isadora software to make a space to enable interactive exploration of sound and video. This is something we started to explore with a community project last year. Our current focus in the studio is on developing a tool to facilitate audio visual jamming.
