Neurohedron (2009)

Custom electronics, custom software

The Neurohedron is a novel music instrument and modal software controller that I conceived of as a nonlinear sequencer. The simplest traditional sequencers may employ eight steps that return to the first step after reaching the last step; in contrast, the Neurohedron is a three dimensional sequencer with twelve nodes arranged as a dodecahedron. With this structure, there is no clear or de facto path that the progression from one node to the next may take, unlike the linear and prescribed nature of a traditional sequencer. The result are broken, unpredictable drum patterns reminiscent of breakcore and glitchno.

bio:
Tedb0t, or 0x73DB07, invents language machines and poem-worlds in which lines and words are decombined into fields and patterns, is the arch-poet of the ænigma, an ersatz dweller in the urscape, and is praisesinger principal of something called Research Art. His worx have been performed at ISSUE Project Room and Le Poisson Rouge and exhibited at the New York Center for Art and Media Studies and Grounds for Sculpture, and are half-expected to break apart and discover that they are actually composed of a radioactive self-aware brainslime, which will then reassemble into a transuniversal hyperentity capable of traveling through spacetime at impossibly slow speeds.
