WORK INVOLVING COMPUTERS
Samuel Burt does amazing things with computers. He is skilled with Coda's Finale notation software, digital audio workstations like Pro Tools, and Pure Data.
As a copyist, he has rendered service to many people including music examples for Susan Weiss' book on early music, Christopher Theofanidis, the University of Georgia Symphony Orchestra, and more.
He has been teaching Pro Tools at the Baltimore School for the Arts since 2005 and has been using digital audio workstations (DAW) for recording and compositions since 2001. He assisted with an electronic music presentation in West Virginia in 2004. He taught an electronic music summer camp in 2005.
A Pure Data user since 2001, Burt has programmed new digital instruments, compositional algorithms, visual feedback instruments, sound installation software, new audio processing methods, and more.
His greatest achievements with Pure Data include the Speakeroids sound installation. The sofware for it involved automated level control of eight inputs and outputs to generate feedback through resonant bodies. Built with John Berndt who conceptualized the installation, Speakeroids was presented in Baltimore's Contemporary Gallery during the High Zero Festival.
Another programming job for John Berndt involved creating a continuous running video installation for Berndt's exhibition at the Emily Harvey Gallery in New York in 2009. Berndt had directed a film of a dancer that was fed into the program. On playback, the video would play had variable speeds, occasionally switch directions but would never loop, although it was designed to go continuously without obvious repetition. The sounds in the video always sound forwards, synchronized to the video without regards to the direction of playback.
