After a few days of decompression, I feel it appropriate to make some closing comments. First and foremost, I want to extend a huge thanks to Philippe and Kirstin for putting together the website and making everything visually stimulating and to Brendan, for being the co-conspirator. To every one of the performers, presenters, lecturers and artists for making this event amazing. And to all of you who came or supported this event in any way.

This went much better then we all planned and hoped. So stay tuned, we aim to do a bigger one in september of 2010. We will announce on the site when we will be expecting proposals for next year's event.

Also, we will have some media on the site from this years event soon, as well as some follow ups to the workshops.

Finally, I believe that we might do a few things until then. Perhaps a workshop at Bluestockings bookstore and maybe some shows.

Thanks again to everyone. See you soon!

Ticket prices have been announced! Come all ye' who thirst for knowledge and new friends! 10$ will get you to see 6 hours of music and visual crazy! Each workshop will be 10$ as well, however for a mere 25$ you get access to all 5 (!) workshops.

Speaking of workshops, we just added another little section in honor of the fantastic development and release of Max4Live, a bridge between the beloved Ableton Live and Max/MSP/Jitter language (which we also have a workshop in!). Peter Kirn just posted a very interesting look at what this means for you as artists, take a look!

Now I must retire as I continue to trouble shoot my Arduinome. More to follow!

At this point in time, almost all the pieces have found their way together for in/out. I get so excited every time I think about this, so many people, artists, and creators that have inspired me!

I have been right at the edge of jumping into visual performance and getting to know Jitter better will be fantastic, as well as the super accessible language Reaktor. If you are unfamiliar with Reaktor, check out some video's for Tim Exile's new program from Native Instruments: The Finger. Basically, it is a small section of his super elaborate Reaktor patch. As for Jitter, one of the most awe inspiring pieces I have seen comes from the dance troupe, Chunky Moves work of a piece called Mortal Engine. I mean, come on, how can you not be blown away by these visuals:

Just recently our friends over at Princeton organized a fantastic event called Monomeet. A lot of participants are joining us for in/out including tehn, mtn, and more. You can download for free their performances from Monomeet here.

Finally, there has already been such developments in this arena in the last few months (hmmm, could not possibly be a push for holiday sales, could it?). From the accessible Akai APC40 and Novation Launchpad, to some of our friends at monome and Livid Instruments with new editions of their more eco-friendly, and locally manufactured controllers, monome 64 and 128 (now bus powered!!!!!) and the slightly more stripped down Ohm64, the BLOCK from Livid. And to make matters better, Ableton has FINALLY announced Max4Live (Nov. 23).

Needless to say there is a lot going on already, and it only seems to be growing. in/out will see a lot this, so I hope you will be able to join us come December 12th!
