Heilan X3D Browser

This is the main focus of my PhD, software-wise. It's an X3D browser which will act as the environment within which the final audiovisual instrument exists. The 'mini-instruments' you can see on the images page are all part of the software, so you can download it and play with them yourself if you want, though you'll need something which can send OSC messages to Heilan (hence MouseToOSC, below).

It's only available for Linux and Windows at the moment, though I do intend to provide an OSX version in the future. You can download it and see (a lot) more details here.

BrushStrokes VST plugin

An audiovisual instrument in VST plugin form which you play by drawing. It was essentially a small side-project to my PhD, but (at the time of writing) I think it's the most successful audiovisual instrument I've created.

You can download it here.
(Windows-only I'm afraid, though there's a wee processing applet on that page demonstrating the visual part of the instrument)

Mouse To OSC

Program to allow the user to send Open Sound Control messages by controlling GUI elements (just sliders and x-y pads). Now also supports input from MIDI CCs, so it acts like a simple MIDI->OSC converter (not available on the OSX version unfortunately, due to problems with the build process). This is how all the mini-instrument experiments in the X3D browser are controlled.
