On a negative front I’m pretty annoyed about Apple’s decision to disable a feature in Quartz Composer silently and with no consultation. In Mac OS X 10.4.7 it’s not possible for a Quartz Composition to load other compositions through an “image with movie” node anymore.
I’m not dead, just been stupidly busy with the summer festival season in the UK and I’m now more heavily involved as a core member of Inside-Us-All visuals which means I’m doing a lot more gigs. Glad to have been spending more time outside in this amazing UK summer instead of sitting behind a [...]

I wanted to use my VAST patch for my gig on saturday night “Infected Mushroom at Psychedelic Academy 003″, but Inside-Us-All were using their layout of dual hexagon screens. End result: in 48 hours I had to try and combine Quartonian Mixer and Quartonian VAST into “one patch to rule them all”. Two [...]
Ecume des Jours has modified the Quartonian VSM source code to add a menu that zooms to full screen on the second display. Download the modifed version “Quartonian VSM Fullscreen”.
Here is my skeleton Composition that has both a tap function generator and a midi clock input and lets you swap between them on the fly.
I have a long term goal to link up Ableton Live, Quartz Composer, my Edirol V4 video mixer and Grid Pro to form a synchronised AV Set, both for DJ Sets performed using Ableton Live and for collaboration with music producers. This is going to be a complicated and involved task but I’ve made [...]
