about
  • fijuu is a 3D, audio/visual installation. Using a PlayStation-style gamepad, the player(s) of fijuu dynamically manipulate 3D instruments to make improvised music. fijuu is built using the open source rendering engine OGRE and runs on Linux. in the future fijuu will be released as a Linux live CD project, so players can simply boot up their PC with a compatible gamepad plugged in, and play without installing anything (regardless of operating system). This effectively turns the domestic PC into a console for game based audio performances.

    • See the project outline for a quick overview of Fijuu2.

    Chaos Communication Camp 2007

    Greetings from the Chaos Communication Camp 2007.

    I'm travelling light here, so no big permanent installation. I am however pretty mobile, so I'm giving impromptu demos to people that call me on my DECT phone (+3458).

    I've arranged to use a Game Designers Village here at the camp to give a slightly bigger presentation on Saturday night at 23:00. So, let's see how that goes.

    And it goes without saying, if you are here, and would like to meet up, or see fijuu, give me a call.

    fijuu2 at NIME 07 / new york

    fijuu2 was accepted for presentation at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference 06, so we're currently looking into the logistics of shipping the installation machine over the Atlantic.

    now that fijuu2 is so easy to install talking to couriers looks increasingly excessive..

    fijuu2 demonstration video uploaded

    while teaching at Georgia Tech i've been in the company of some big screens, so i took the opportunity to film a long overdue clip of fijuu2 in use.

    we'd hoped for an inset of the gamepad but i didn't have access to two cameras at the time. regardless, this clip should explain what it's all about.



    get it here. it's in the Ogg Theora format. if you don't know what that means, just use VLC.
