Joseph Moore

I am a media artist / software engineer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. I played the accordion in a punk-polka band in high school, speak fluent Portuguese, which is helpful in talking to my half-Brazilian daughter, and I was twice forced to sleep in an open air train station in Brussels during the fall and then winter. But most importantly, I like to play with code and reality, and try to make things that are fun, interesting, and of some use to someone somehow.

Dumb Songs

Creation play experience that results in a musical collaboration.

Dumb Songs is a two player musical toy that illustrates how a playful mind makes for better collaboration and creativity, effectively revealing the power of creation play that results in a complete creative artifact.

The piece uses physical controllers to send MIDI notes and control signals to Ableton Live, creating a musical environment for two people. The controls' touchability combined with the whimsical treatment of the game's display engenders a childlike abandon amongst players that better facilitates a fun and creative experience.
