Chemical Oscillator mentioned in Leonardo Electronic Almanac

My work with cellular automata generated sound and visuals was mentioned by Columbia professor Joshua Mailman, in the Leonardo Electronic Almanac, "Live Visuals," Vol. 19, No. 3 (pages 356 and 380):


"The conceptual influence of visual art on musicians and sonic artists is well recognized. Yet even tighter links are possible, through the coordination of pre-composed generative algorithms whose control input is manipulated improvisationally. ... A compelling example of improvised music and visuals coordinated algorithmically is Paul Hembree’s Chemical Oscillator series (2011-2012), based on cellular automata."

Mailman's own work is quite interesting, with a wonderful technical explanation of some of it included in his article. You can find his article here, and the entire issue of "Live Visuals" is here.
