Mark Mosher Interview on Sound Design Live Podcast

I was recently interviewed by Berkeley, CA Sound Designer Nathan Lively on his podcast Sound Design Live which has over 10,000 followers! You can read the original post “Turning Technology Into Performance” here, listen to the full 26 minute interview using the player below, or download the MP3 here.

In the interview I offer a lot of behind-the-scenes notes on: how I got started with electronic music, Modulate This! Blog, sound design work on Patchlab, working with tangible interfaces such as AudioCubes, social media for artists, and a discussion of my open knowledge 9 Box method which is being used as the basis for a K-6 electronic music lab in a Denver Metro school.

Photos and Video from My Remote Broadcast to the Pacific North West Synth Fest in Seattle

On October 29, 2011 I Skyped into the Pacific Northwest Synth Fest from my studio in Boulder. In this photo you can see I was being projected in the room and there was a laptop under the projection so I could see and hear the audience take questions. I presented on Percussa AudioCubes and performed a few songs. The laptop gives you a sense of scale for the projection size. I've been working on my streaming set up so that I can broadcast high fidelity audio, hear my rig in my headphones, plus hear the other side of the conversation in my headphones as well. It all worked great!

Matrixsynth captured the last 15 minutes of my talk on his iPhone 4s. A majority of the talk is on the technical detail of using Percussa AudioCubes so to spare you from the technical details I went ahead and placed a copy of the video bookmarked to start at a musical performance of the song “I Can See Them” from the album I Hear Your Signals. You can of course start from the beginning of the video to catch the talk.

I actually started the talk with a performance of “First Orbit” from the same album. I don’t have a copy of the footage from the talk at Synth Fest, but I did USTREAM a sound check of the song earlier that weekend.

Before and after the talk, I was interacting with festival goes in the “petting zoo” room where there were all sorts of demos going on. I answered questions on AudioCubes.

In this photo I’m playing a new song called “Control Zone” using a Moog Etherwave Theremin (pitch-to-MIDI) and a single AudioCube to control virtual synthesizers with 6 dimensions of spatial control.
