How did I keep the money coming in while writing-up? This. The work is under NDA, but I did the following for a major European broadcaster.

• Wrote a functional specification for MPEG-TS playout server with splicing functionality and REST API
• Python prototype of MPEG-TS stream splicing
• Python-C++ interop prototype
• Tech-lead with C++ dev for streaming engine and Python dev for web-app host

I delivered this project for Artists & Engineers, who sometimes have a big engineering project going on behind the scenes. It helps oil the art side, amongst other things.

It was real R&D. I have many battle stories.

project | 2015

boom! excellent live acts and djs, amazing 360° visuals from blinkin lab, florence to and jack featherstone, packed with punters from 9pm to sunrise every day.

there’s a b&w video here: blog.bowers-wilkins.com

canal180 shot this nice video of what we, as artists & engineers, were up to with bowers & wilkins. and to my bemusement, a shot of my hairy chest has defaulted to be the poster image on vimeo’s page.

bowers and wilkins wanted the best sound, and they wanted the best package around. this is a 21m igloo dome, and as venue it was pretty much perfect.

immersive sound, immersive visuals; just the right balance of intimacy with the artists vs. massed excitement of the crowd.

suffice to say, they sounded good. real good.

an offer i couldn’t refuse from friends artists + engineers: high-end soundsystem, 360° screen, barcelona. or at least an offer i had to make work somehow: the phd giving no time for the full content-creation and performance brief, instead some oversight for talent and tech.

part of this has become stage-managing the screen, and so out comes screenrunner; act names spinning in and out around the dome’s screen, live input for guest acts, and a default ‘screensaver’ state. the photo is a happy session developing the realtime effect to animate any non-dome materials around the dome’s screen, in igloo’s london test facility.
