Peats Ridge Video!

My good friend Steve Dale has managed to dig up the Dubtable footage from Peats Ridge Festival '10-'11. This video is pretty neat, and shows a bit of the reactive projections courtesy Dan Mackinlay - the projections are generated by the blocks in the same way as the sound. It also features the new tracks recorded with Eden Ottignon, Angus Stuart, and Luke Dubber. Enjoy.

About The Dubtable

The Dubtable is an interactive tactile mixing table. It's an intuitive interface that invites the user to twist, crush and mash sounds together to make all new music. Anyone can participate and mix a track, dub out with delays and make a toon!

Influenced by the simple but strange mixing techniques of early dub pioneers such as Lee Scratch and King Tubby, The Dubtable is based on reggae sounds, and provides a raw interface to explore and develop the making of song through mixes. The dubtable uses the revolutionary reacTIVision technology, a home made perspex table, an engine coded in the puredata visual language, and some Sydney musicians.

This site is essentially a collection of photos, clips, and recordings of the dubtable, to convince you that the dubtable should come to your festival/gallery/party/gig. You can contact me via the e-mail address below.

The Dubtable is powered by puredata

and is the most ghetto use of reacTIVision that's around
