Voltage from Bam Studio on Vimeo. Oh, sure, it’s all fun and games until your modular robots have a little too much fun and your rig erupts into a fireball. But then, modular synthesis fans – you understand, nonetheless. William Paiva sends us his work as one of the animators and writes: Hi everybody. I’m […]

If you’re looking for something fun to fiddle around with this weekend, this could be your ticket: we’re tipped off that iZotope have released a video game-themed expansion for their iPhone-iPod touch drum machine. As Timbaland would surely say, were he asked: T: It’s from a video game, idiot! [laughs] P: [laughs] T: Freaking jerk. […]

Pezzner plays the Savoy Room at MUTEK. Photo (CC) basic_sounds. Remix contests are all the rage lately, but quality is another thing altogether. I’m happy CDM is involved in a new contest with Dancetracks, however, because the ingredients of a contest that’s worth your time all all there. First off, Seattle-based [Dave] Pezzner on freefrange […]

555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo. Perhaps it means nothing for the practical art of architecture, but clever projection on buildings is making our Neo-Baroque (or perhaps Neo-Roccoco) age even more in touch with illusion and manipulations of scale. This brilliant pre-rendered work adds to the work we’ve been following here […]

There’s been some chatter today about Final Cut Studio and “64-bit.” Now first, simply saying 64-bit is fairly meaningless. 64-bit applications can refer to 64-bit processing (as in computation) and 64-bit memory space. In audio, it’s even more confusing, as we routinely refer to 64-bit audio signal – which is something that can actually be […]

Oh, don’t act all surprised and shocked. You know you’d go and do the same thing if you had access to a thermo camera. Bartek Polonski sends us an unusual twist on computer vision, combining thermography with basic code in Processing in order to subtract water from the scene. (No details on the specific camera […]

“It comes from tomorrow …but it’s here today.” Well, now it is tomorrow. And yesterday’s tomorrow still looks futuristic. Try this test: show someone the video above for the Millioniser 2000, a MIDI harmonica designed by Ronald Schlimmer. Tell them this is a 2009 video designed to go viral, a fakery of 80s cheese.
