The preview for my show is on Thursday 1st June at 6pm at the University of East London (Cyprus on the DLR) and comes down the following Monday.

I had a visual tracking Processing piece worked out but my tutor reckoned it should have some kind of ambient sound going on. Seeing as Processing is a bit poo with sound I tried to learn Pure Data in a week. What I got was my first very modest patch.

It operates as an ambient sound project to compliment the Processing piece and has a basic reactive element to it.

The Pure Data side is really quite basic and messy since I don't understand the logic of the system yet, but I'd be happy to hear about how I could have put it together much simpler or what else I could have added to it.

Not too shoddy for a weeks work. Using [readsf~] could have saved you a lot of work loading samples into tables. When the timing isn't critical and you don't need random access to the wave data [readsf~] is probably best. I bet you had a lot of fun recording the jungle voices! Actually many animal sounds can be synthesised, but that is quite advanced stuff. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with your installation show.
