I’ve been wanting to share the software I use for quite a long time, and finally have it in halfway decent shape. You can download it here. I’ll be giving a workshop on it, along with some SuperCollider fundamentals Wednesday, January 30, at Warper, at 8:30.

A few facts about Ripple:

* Mac-only, for now
* Built in the SuperCollider programming environment.
* Designed primarily to be a tool that matches my own ideal work style, but also designed as a framework for and container for SuperCollider patches.

If you give it a try and find it interesting, please let me know. I’d love to keep working on it, and to find folks who are also interested in using and contributing to the project.

Robert Henke aka Monolake, a wonderful musician, one of the founders of the Ableton software company, and a really really smart dude, wrote this article perfectly summing up the dilemma faced by modern computer musicians.

2007 was a really great year for me. I’d like to thank all of you who reached out and said hello, came out to a gig, wrote a review, bought some music or otherwise supported and encouraged me and helped reassure me that my work is valuable to others besides just myself. Let’s all hope 2008 turns out to be full of enough of what we all need, and a good deal of what we hope for.
