Jazz Jam Directory

Information on jazz open-mic events in the UK is scattered across different websites and social media pages, so I built a website where you find when and where the latest events are happening.

It's fairly early days with this site, but musicians I've shared it with seem to like the idea. Currently, it's really low tech. My backend is an JSON file that I've manually curated. Right now I'm considering ways that other people can contribute so that the list can be more extensive. Right now, it's mostly just events that I've been to.

Minecraft Bitcoin Miner

This is a fully functional Bitcoin miner in Minecraft that I built with Armadillo28. It uses a player bot to relay block headers from a Bitcoin node into Minecraft, and then performs the SHA256 hashing algorithm.

This video is on his channel, but we both explain how it works, and how much money it makes.

The thing that makes this build different from a lot of other large computational redstone projects is other projects speed up the game, sometimes by factors of over 1000. Our build runs without any mods at all.

beattape

BEATTAPE is an interactive music playlist, powered by FMOD, a piece of software designed for video game audio. You control different parts of the songs in real time, as well as which songs come next.

It's also a way for composers to show off their generative music.

Fix This House trailer

This was a video game trailer that I added music to, for an event run by r/indiegames. I also included some extra sound effects on top of what was already there. I based a lot of the sounds on an acoustic guitar. Not just the actual playing, but all the little clicks and squeaks too.
