Queer Music: “a virtual cosmic continuum of which even holes, silences, ruptures, and breaks are a part” (Deleuze et al., 1989, p. 116)
...it belongs to a musical machine that prolongs or superposes on a single plane parts that are spoken, sung, achieved by special effects, instrumental, or perhaps electronically generated. This is the sound plane of a generalized "glissando" implying the constitution of a statistical space in which each variable has, not an average value, but a probability of frequency that places it in continuous variation with the other variables.” (Deleuze et al., 1989, p. 117)
“Secret languages are very significant in this connection, in learned as well as popular music.” (Deleuze et al., 1989, p. 118)
### Current approximate setup
#### [[TouchDesigner]]
ASIO Audio In/Out - VASIO64A
Video Out - Spout Out
1. Inputs
1. loads audio/video files
2. input stream from cameras
3. modulation streams from bitwig
2. Outputs
1. sends video to OBS via spout
2. sends audio to bitwig via VB-audio matrix
3. MIDI
1. using processing effects on incoming video, controlled by hand or by midi
#### [[Bitwig]]
Audio Device VASIO64B
1. Inputs
1. 1,2 Synth audio-in
2. 3-4 Drum Machine
3. 5-6 Audio from Touchdesigner
2. Outputs
1. stereo audio to touchdesigner
2. midi to hardware synths
3. midi to video processor
4. sends out "CV" to video processor (eg. long ramps, lfos, waveforms) to control video modulations)
5. Sends Audio to OBS via VB-audio matrix
3. MIDI
#### [[OBS]]:
Audio In - VASIO8
Video In - Spout In
Monitor Device Out - VASIO8 (?)
#### Desktop Audio
VAIO1
#### Midi:
USB desktop > Hermod USB Device
##### [[Hermod]]:
- MIDI out > Drum Machine In
- CV1 > Pest | Pitch
- Gate 1 > Pest | Dyn Gate
- CV2 > Plaits | V/OCT
- Gate 2 > Plaits | TRIG
#### [[West Pest]]:
- Out > UMC 1
#### [[Plaits]]:
- Out > UMC 2
#### [[TR-08]]:
Midi Channel: 10
#### [[LoopBE Midi]]
Send midi to TD
