Tim Stutts: ITP Project Blog

Peter Gabriel has been a huge influence on my musical approach. Countless melodies featured in my poppier track are subconscious variations of his awesome hooks. I decided to put the track up after a scenic train ride through the English countryside, closer than ever to his own Realworld Studios.

This track was made by cutting up samples from “Big Time” and triggering them via soft sampler. The video is a screen capture of a piano roll style MIDI sequence that triggers the elements heard in the track. Color processing and perspective adjustments are added to enhance the presentation.

In the future I’m envisioning a project where MIDI data from a session in Logic or Protools is passed into Max/MSP Jitter via Rewire and processed visually onto live images or vector graphics.
