symmetry synchronisation
late adds by Gert 20120114
I'm espcially happy about the room-modes & schuman references, since they close the circle to something we already discussed and tried (not too successfully me thinketh) @ ICA & waves. it's a lets make it work moment :)
I tried to compile scopeshapes for Intel, but failed so far. how would we translate the oscilloscope output?
I'll bring two Wiimotes, but rather than waving them around i was hoping to use the IR input. lets fix diodes to Marcus' hands for his Cello performance :) OSC enabled version avlbl.

I keep these very brief, essentially list of links.
A few notes from skype call with Gert, Nik, Mathias 20111216
A Computational Model for Periodic Pattern Perception Based on Frieze and Wallpaper Groups
This is a paper by Stephen Hyde discussing some of the ideas that have been influencing Mathias' recent work on geometry and structure
One of the things mentioned in the above paper is the Gavrog project - Unified Tiling Theory. The background presentations at the bottom of the page are very useful
Current generative work found by Nik
A few notes from meeting with Marcus, Richard, Mathias 20111221 & 20120112
Brian Sanderson's Pattern Recognition Algorithm (aka. the decision tree)
The structure of the evening presentation follows an imaginary walk through the Alhambra - as the pattern groups progress, so will we.
The group of 7 frieze pattern of linear tiling
The group of 17 wallpaper patterns of tilings of the plane
It is possible to 'pattern' a room acoustically using a standing sound wave, also called Room Modes. The Hoffmann Building is 19.7 x 15.3 x 15.5m
Schumann Resonances are the Room Modes of planet earth's electromagnetic field
A recent project to allow public domain access to Goldberg Variations. The Musescore edition has been announced for early 2012, so could be used by us, if we get in touch
More Goldberg Variations notations, recordings, midi
Marcus's research builds a lot on prime numbers and prime number tools like prime zeta functions and Fermat primes
Xenakis Nomos Alpha uses algebra and geomerty in its composition/construction
A compass and straight edge construction of the 17-gon. Interestingly a 7-gon cannot be constructed using compass & se.
From emails from Russ to Mathias
OK just FWDing info of the stuff im interested in and have that maybe good for snape!?
its totally about symmetry!
here is the software i spoke off:
if we could make these .DXF files we could have text+
i have this device that can generate much better material than in this video:
i dont know of it will be in the UK by the time of the residency, but i have one of these due:
