Wenceslast

A canon on Good King Wenceslas, inspired by a comment of Douglas R. Hofstadter in the Introduction to Godel, Escher, Bach, but this canon does not follow Hofstadter's prescribed formula.

All sounds are entirely synthetic. Rendered in Standard Just Intonation.

The cover image is by Brothers Dalziel (1879). The video images are from Good King Wenceslas Illustrated (1904).

The melody of Good King Wenceslas originated in Finland in the 16th Century.

Moody Ghost

Video Music for Halloween!

The music of Moody Ghost was created entirely from free samples downloaded from Music Radar. Mixed with Audacity!

The video frames were constructed in Java, in the Netbeans IDE, with a great deal of reliance on batch-mode Irfanview. The video itself was built with ffmpeg and the x264 codec.

The rolling eyeballs and the "nose" were made with jMonkeyEngine. The lips were made in python with matplotlib. The "teeth" were made with jTransform.
