http://www.bcs-hci.org.uk/
In collaboration with Tom Hall, Cheryl Francis-Hoad and Jane Turner and dancers

(2009) One Hundred and Twenty Seven Haiku
Automatic performance/composition with custom software
Event in collaboration with Katharine Norman, (Electronic Music Studios, City University) and
Katy Price, Kettles Yard, Cambridge, May 2009

(2008) Many Worlds
Semi-automatic music (SuperCollider)
Silent Histories: soundscapes and compositions on the themes of stillness, technology and place.
Music and performances by Kerstin Bueschges, Kevin Flanagan, Richard Hoadley and Paul Rhys.
Kettles Yard, Cambridge, May 2008

(2001-4) The Sound Archive of the Library of Babel
software, 2001-4
(1999) Linguini
Generate (nonsensical) text based on the content of input text.

(1998) pSY
Applying the principles of Arpeggiator to the synthesis structure of the Yamaha SY77 or SY99 synthesiser.
You'll require access to (at least) one of these synthesisers to fully appreciate this software.
I'm currently working on software that doesn't require an external synth.
My pieces The Copenhagen Interpretation and Ambience used four of these programmes and four synths live... Screenshots

(1998) pSalm
In development. An attempt to create a graphics to audio programme. Draw a picture (using rather basic tools)
or import a graphic, choose between a variety of parameters and convert the image into a csound file. You'll also
require the csound programme... screenshots

(1998-2007) Melodia 1
In development. Based on the Arpeggiator and pSY models, this is an attempt to create synthetic melody,
involving tone colour as well as pitch material. More recently I've been redeveloping this in MaxMSP and will probably do so again using SuperCollider.
See below for a screenshot of the version for MaxMSP and Yamaha TG77s... screenshots

(1998) pSuomi
Mouse control for general MIDI. Another in the psy series of algorithmic/graphic composition/performance tools...

(1996-8) The Continual Snowfall of Petrochemicals
automatic live performance music for computers and synthesisers (pSY).
Commissioned for Cambridge Digital Arts Festival, June 1998.

(1994) Arpeggiator
An algorithmic MIDI composer based on the idea of the movement from one note to another in groups.
Originally completed in Hypercard for Mac, later implemented in Visual Basic on Windows. Screenshots. Download.
