My collaborator/friend Rob Scharein has added some new audio functionality to his software KnotPlot. I had used a version of his software called KPShadows for my performance with Viviane Houle, 'Water to Bone' at the Vancouver New Music Festival in Vancouver in Oct 2010.
Utilising MIDI and custom programming in KnotPlot, the software plays music according to aspects of the changing knot junctions of the visible knot. This is in an early design stage. Many more developments to follow...

An excerpt video of Rob Scharein's KnotPlot software creating music using MIDI and analysis of the changing knot structures. The software analyses various aspects of the nature of the knot junctions and assigns MIDI notes and tempo's accordingly.
More coming soon...
