Now available – pd-la USB sticks.
These are 16 GB USB flash drives in custom-built wood enclosures made on the CRASHspace laser cutter. They are in the shape of a Pd message box, and say “bang” on one side and “pd-la” on the other.
The sticks contain videos of all 20 lectures from Miller Puckette’s MUS171 computer music class at UCSD. These videos are a little rough, but they are an excellent course in Pure Data and computer music design.
They are $40 in the CRASHspace store. Note that CRASHspace does not ship purchases – you have to pick up the stick in person. Please contact me at theron.trowbridge@gmail.com to make arrangements after pd-LAunch week.
Are these lectures available for download free of charge? Or is that (along with USB stick construction) what the $$ is for?
Thanks,
Tyler
The money is mostly to cover costs – it’s a 16 GB stick (they’re not cheap yet), with some plywood, glue, and laser time – plus a little to raise money to support the patching circle and pd-LAunch.
The videos will all be available free for download from UCSD. It may take a little bit to get them up there, but we will announce it here when they are ready.
Any updates on when/where these lectures will be online Theron?
cheers
I’m getting ready to send out a batch of these. I handle them personally because we’re still not set up to ship at CRASHspace. If you want one, e-mail me at theron.trowbridge@gmail.com and we’ll figure out how to get you one.
I want one, please! Could you send it to my mail address?
I’m interested in accessing the lectures, and possibly purchasing the USB. However, I’m in the UK.
E-mail me at theron.trowbridge@gmail.com and we’ll discuss options and figure out shipping costs. I can send out DVDs pretty inexpensively. Shipping internationally on the sticks gets expensive because it won’t fit in a letter envelope and I have to ship out air mail or Priority.
