Developer of interactive experiences, graphics, and embedded software. I've worked as a freelancer for 13 years. I'm looking for a full-time opportunity with unique challenges, and a culture where I can always be learning, as well as mentoring.
Twang has been on the market for 16 months. I have tested a few price points, and the difference between $.99 and $2.99 has hardly affected sales, so $2.99 is the way to go!
Good to know. A fast internet connection would be nice, but 3G is acceptable.
What amenities should a hacker colony have? I'm thinking: fast internet, quiet cabins, food delivered to your door, remote area that is good for walking & exploring, easy access to a nearby town (maybe via shuttle).
Perhaps aleatoric is the wrong word... I imagine that you could overlay the ghost diagrams on grids, follow the tiles (as if traversing land on a map), and your paths would produce melodies. There are hex-based musical keyboards (search for "hex keys" on Google or YouTube), so every position would be assigned a specific pitch. You could expand this concept to generate note lengths, rests, key changes, timbral effects, etc.
That's one way to implement it. All of the generative music algorithms I've seen have been very limited, and have produced one specific flavor of music. Seeing all these amazing patterns in the ghost diagrams, I wonder if there's a clue to generating more diverse/expressive music lurking within this system. (Emergent behavior?)
This is the best thing I've seen in months. I can imagine utilizing this in many projects: Generating creatures in a shooter, generating maps, aleatoric music composition... Incredible.
The Portland economy is very bad right now. I recommend securing a job before you move here. There's a surplus of talent in this city, and not enough work available.

Willing to relocate: Let's get to know each other first!
