Interface: ./swank

Interface - a duo composed of violinist Dan Trueman and bassist Curtis Bahn - combines the territory of free improvisation with a powerful set of extended instruments; the duo's 5-string vertical bass and a 6-string electric violin are transformed using Max and MSP into both the source of the sounds you hear and the means of their transformation. ./swank was recorded live before a live audience at Boston's Mobius Arts Center.

Artist Interviews

Visit the interviews section where you will find discussions with some of the c74 music label artists as well as other people who use our software. We're not as interested in having them extol the virtues of our software as we are in finding out about their approach to whatever it is they're doing with the software, whether it's music, engineering, art, industrial process control, or some combination thereof.

We hope these conversations will stimulate you to think about new approaches to electronic media, and will encourage you to check out the work of the artists if you're not already familiar with them. We've peppered the interviews with links that you can use to explore their work in more detail.
