dlooch


[this is not the looch]


dlooch is a little Mac OS X Dashboard application using RTcmix to generate evolving ambient sounds. They'll go on forever and ever! And ever! Implementing the "looching" concept as an OS X Dashboard app seems somehow appropriate, as I did the first "Looching" to learn the [then new] NeXT MusicKit many years ago (see below for a link to the history and various looching programs). I realize that dlooch is a little beyond the design intent of dashboard widgets because it does run an Actual Program, but the CPU and memory load is fairly lightweight. Oh these fast computers nowadays...
