I admire someone like Bob Dylan who can combine producing fantastic music with producing outlandish, sometimes random statements. Vying for the dumbest music quote of the year, Bob gives us this gem: “New records … have sound all over them.” And goes on to say: “CDs are small. There’s no stature to it.” (CDs actually […]

The video speaks for itself really. I don’t know if it was shot specifically for the DVGuru Challenge, but it hardly matters, because the results are beautiful, and double extra bonus points for the Boards of Canada soundtrack. I want a Phantom so badly it hurts sometimes.

Neuromixer Pro 2 on the horizon? Well I guess technically it is, but first we need to tell them what we want from VJ software. At Neuromixer we are currently developing the most reliable, intuitive and versatile VJ application to date, AVmixer Pro 2. We are taking the existing design and functionality of AVmixer Pro […]

We saw wireless MIDI and mouse control via the Sony PSP, the creation of media artist and hacker Rob King. Now Rob writes to say he’s finished the first release of his software for controlling Ableton Live directly from PSP, and it’s available as a free download. PLAYLIVE IS HERE [Rob King’s E-mu.org] The Ableton […]

I’ve been doing some more work on my Processing-Plotter setup. The current plan is to amass a collection of Processing sketches which perform various plotter functions – initialization, scaling, shade modes, layers, shapes, communication etc. – and then put them together as a Processing library. This is fun for me, but like the initial circle […]

Portable game consoles are fantastic things: do-all media players and mini-computers that are actually fun to use, small enough to carry, with powerful capabilities for just a couple hundred dollars. For computer musicians, they’re versatile devices that fit well into music setups, whether sequencing instruments or feeding videos to a projector. There’s only one problem: […]

Laptops and Mac minis are wonderful, but they don’t let you upgrade your CPU or fill two PCI slots with hyper-powerful video cards. I’ve been loving lugging my Shuttle XPC to gigs, in a custom Shuttle case that I can carry on the subway or in cabs. But if it hadn’t tempted you yet, this […]

Apologies to anyone who’s on Processing overload, but we keep finding fantastic work. Quasimondo’s Rubber Screen maps an image to a 3d mesh and then lets it jiggle like hyperactive Jell-o. The still image doesn’t do it justice; you have to try it out. Like the 90s app Goo, you can warp images in comical […]
