  • Xbox 360 Control pad + Ableton Live with Pure Data

    As some of you may know, I created an interface using GlovePIE so that I could use an Xbox 360 control pad with Ableton Live in live sets. However when I upgraded to Windows 8 a little while back, the solution didn’t work so well so I’ve been looking for a new way to do the same thing ever since. Happily, as you can see from the video bellow, I’ve managed to create something very similar with Pure Data so I thought that I would share the results.

  • Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)? (For Tom O’Brien)


    This year I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to be a party DJ for Helena and Dan’s weddings and a close family friend’s birthday. Unfortunately Tom O’Brien passed away before I got the chance to DJ at his 70th birthday but I know that this was one of his favourite songs and would have definitely been on the playlist. It would mean a lot to me if could have a listen, maybe smile and share it with friends and, if you want to, send a few pennies to www.myaware.org. I’m sure that they would appreciate it.

    Cheers, Ian
