- Chance Dance Techniques and Process used by the artist -

I discovered an idiosyncrasy with the Max/MSP/Jitter object jit.movie that, when used in an older version of Max that still supported the Quicktime engine, could receive both frame-accurate messages to create looping segments (by integer value of video frame count) but also \"interrupt safe queue-based\" metronome rates which affected the original loop region slowly over time. These two competing intervals led to an evolving 'skipping' to occur if both parameters were dialed-in accordingly, and it felt reminiscent of and adjacent to the Chance Dance practical technique of placing various sized ceramics onto a 12\" vinyl record as it played causing the needle to skip, the difference being that this 'virtual ceramic' could be scaled and morphed in size and shape over time.
