Drop-Crotch and Pool at Tisch Gala
I’ll be performing Drop It Like It’s Crotch at the annual Tisch Gala champagne reception, followed by a screening of The Pool at the Dinner party. Expect dancing to be had, and black tie optional to be interpreted as clothing optional.
Snowyman by Saadi (Official Music Video)
This year I got the awesome opportunity to work with Nerenda Eid on Saadi’s official music video for Snowyman. I altered my previous wayang kinect project to create more dynamic movements on the puppets and collaged a couple scenes based on the Nawang Wulan and Jaka Tarub story.
Funny enough, I wasn’t expecting to actually be in the music video. But eagle-eyed viewers might just catch a few seconds of my fancy dance moves in silhouette.
Drop It Like It’s Crotch @ Cameo Gallery

Concept & Design: Antonius Wiriadjaja
Performers: Antonius Wiriadjaja, Michell J Cardona and Johann Diedrick
Thanks to Greg Shakar and Brett Murphy for their guidance, Chika for the projections and Roopa, Alex & Rose for the documentation.

This year, I’m going to be involved with ITP’s annual summer camp for adults. It’s been a blast so far working behind the scenes, but I recently got a fair share of on-screen time as well. Check out the camp videos below! And when you feel ready to jump in on the action, apply!

Premiere of The Pool at IAC with live music by Merche Blasco 12/2/2011
The Pool (standalone with original soundtrack)
The Pool brings a calm space for meditation, introspection and relaxation to the lobby of the IAC building. Swimmers break the surface, explore the 120 foot wide pool and interact with each other. It is a journey for both themselves and the audience.

Music by Merche Blasco. Sound Design by Phan Visutyothapibal.
Special thanks to The Pool’s swimmers, Yoni Ben-Simhon, Nelson Ramon, Eszter Ozsvald, Paul May, Ju Yun Song, Eric Hagan, Emily Webster, William Jennings and Alex Kozovski.

I got to perform as Keyboard Cat channeling Lady Gaga today! One more to cross off my bucket list. Thanks, ameliechucky, for letting me shove my hand up that lovely felt pussy cat!
I got to be part of Cyrus von Hochstetter’s awesome second musical instrument for NIME. He attached three vibration motors on Michael Colombo and yours truly and gave us simple rules for making noise depending on which buzzed. Colombo stole the show with “Tom Igoe. BlEaarARrGGhH.” My instruments broke before I got to document it, but it will be posted soon.
This semester, I am working with Valentina Camacho, a very good friend and awesome creative partner, on content for a 120-foot-long screen at the IAC building. This is the fifth year Dan Shiffman has offered the class, and he takes great lengths to make sure we don’t reinvent the wheel. He provided us with several strategies and templates for every software imaginable. We were able to put up content within the second week of class, and last week got to test out our project ideas on one third of the screen.
Valentina is an amazing illustrator. We created a storyboard, sketched out some scenes/characters and she vectorized them for our animation. But as soon as we put them up on screen, everything looked different. The colors were off, brush patterns were magnified and subtle vector graphics became off-putting.
Fortunately, our time in grad school has taught us to always have a plan B. The night before, ITP’s equipment room also happened to acquire a new waterproof case for the Lumix LX5. I walked away from my coding and jumped in the pool with some mardi gras beads. We rendered out a 3840 X 1080 video of the camera under a faucet, in the pool and in puddles outside my apartment. It was intended to be a simple test, but the results were very visually stunning.

NIME Assignment: “Inspirational Sounds”: Bring a one minute audio clip of music to share with the class and explain why you find it compelling. Try to identify the qualities that appeal to you or that make it well suited to the purpose for which you use it.
I chose to share a minute of music that I recorded while visiting Saturday morning Gamelan rehearsals at the pendopo (front hall) of the Mangkunegaran Palace, in Solo, Java, Indonesia.
Electronic Design and Prototyping: Assignment 2
Assignment 2: Assemble a circuit on a perfboard.
I built a basic hackduino on a perfboard and stuffed it into a cookie box to celebrate my good friend Michelle’s birthday.
Electronic Design and Prototyping: Assignment 1
Assignment 1 for Electronic Design and Prototyping: Read a schematic and assemble circuit on a breadboard.
I don’t exactly know if that’s what it’s supposed to sound like, but I built this Tone Burst Generator based off of the schematics Paul Rothman provided.
