I have opened a shop on Spreadshirt to offer Glitch t-shirts and other merchandise that I think people might enjoy. There’s only a handful of items available at the moment, but I’ll be gradually adding a wider range of designs and products as time goes on. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you like!
Due to various stressful things going on in my RealLife™ over the past couple of years, it has been far too long since I was last able to work on Glitch, but I’m happy to announce that I’ve finally been able to spend some more time with it recently. At the moment I’m close to finishing a complete rewrite of the plug-in core itself, and although it will not have any major new feature additions (yet), it will be based on VST 2.4 and should be much more stable and efficient. More on that good stuff later!
A quick test render from a weird graphics algorithm I’ve been coding in Flash Actionscript 3.
Since Flash’s video export is rather unreliable, I used Stroep’s ImageSaver to save each rendered frame to individual PNG images, and then compiled the frames into a video using AviDemux2.
A selection of images from my recent vacation in Toronto. Photographed with a Canon G9 and fine-tuned in Paint Shop Pro X2.
Various random images from the past.
A collection of Mars Wind themed desktop wallpaper images.
A collection of time-lapse scenes that I shot while on vacation in Toronto recently, photographed using my Canon G9, with help from CHDK and an intervalometer script. I used VirtualDub to process the 3,000+ photos into actual video. The music is an untitled track that I started back in 2007, but never got around to finishing.
Here is a rad new video by my annoyingly prolific buddy Steve Mason – one half of the notorious (and delicious!) duo known as Original Recipe. The graphics are generated in realtime using Touch and driven by FFT analysis of the audio input. The audio in question is “Workin’ The Middle”, a tantalising preview from their upcoming album Nigiri, Please, due to be released this autumn… or, this fall, if you’re one of those people.
Today, I decided to experiment with some time-lapse photography using my Canon G9 camera. Even though I just quickly pointed the camera out of my (dirty) bedroom window, I really like how it turned out. I’m definitely going to have to explore this technique some more and find other interesting things to capture! This video spans approximately 40 minutes in real time.
I’ve been tweaking a few things on the site, moving some pages around, etc., so I apologise if you encountered any broken links!
Glitch has been moved into a new VST Plug-ins section. In there you will also find some smaller plug-ins that were created a while ago but never officially released, namely: Crusher, Stretch, and TapeStop. These were created mainly as proofs of concept, but a few people picked up on them and found them to be useful, so I just thought I’d make them publically available again.
Finally, due to the requests made by various people, I have added a PayPal donate button to the site. If you have enjoyed using Glitch or any of my other plug-ins, and you would like to help support their future development, a donation would be hugely appreciated!
