Nye Parry: Programming and Sound Engineering
In addition to his own sound installation work Nye has recently worked as a programmer on a number of other projects inluding designing and implementing the sound interaction for 16 Frames with Wajid Yaseen (sound) and Nic Sandiland for CandoCo and the Southbank Centre.
As a C programmer Nye has worked extensively in educational software and arcade games. From 1989 to 1992 he developed control and interface software for fruit machines at Electrocoin Automatics Ltd. and Brunel Research Ltd. During this period he also developed the graphical user interface for the Imp music sequencer for IMPAC Resources Ltd, running on Research Machines Nimbus computers. He went on to develop the Melody Train software, a popular aural and composition training package the same platform. As a result of this work he was contracted by the Inner London Education Computing Center to port their Nimbus graphics library to the PC platform. This involved extensive low level programming in 8086 assembler as well as C, which is his preferred computing language. He has since also completed a project for red56 using Visual Basic. I has recently been developing interactive music applications for his own work in Max/MSP, such.as the control software for The Memory Machine installation.
