Post 3: Some comments

Some comments

In relation to Post 2 in this blog and after a short discussion with Greg today about the experiment I have decided the following:

• Instead of writing down all the equipment in advance I will write them separately for each experiment
• There will be 3 experiments over all. Each one of them is aiming for different latency creativity.
• In order to present the experiments I intend to screen record, from the laptops monitors, the whole process. A written documentation will also accompany each experiment starting from the rational behind it, the process and the final findings and thought about it.

In today’s discussion Greg also mention the idea of using the ON/OFF play/silence mentioned in Post 1, as a binary representation of 0s and 1s. Furthermore, about the locations with Internet availability there were some unpleasant findings. I have tried connecting with the software’s, eJamming Audio and Ninjam but none of them worked from the VRU. The university network is not allowing any Internet communication outside the port 80. Basically, the university allows only the default port for http//: traffic to be open. However, both software works at my place since there is no restrictions in my home network.

I will not spend time by trying to find out a workable way for the university's network. Since these experiments do not have to be presented in a public performance to obtain a mark, I will do the experiments from my place.

The location for the experiments is set up for my home network and the software that will be used is the eJamming Audio 2.0 http://www.ejamming.com/ and Ninjam http://ninjam.com/
