An experiment with the new app Samplr for the iPad    

This looks like a pretty amazing game.  I've been dreaming about something like this for awhile, but I don't think I have the math skills to create something like it. Here is a little presentation from the developer of the game xra some info: http://www.thecreatorsproject.com/blog/experimental-video-game-uses-in-game-glitches-as-an-aesthetic Music from the game: Play a little test demo here... not actual game just the starting screen. http://www.datatragedy.com/wipmoabd/ Someone posted a link to this artist  Rosa Menkman     that was exploring some similar territory. http://www.triangulationblog.com/2012/09/videoscape-compress-process-by-rosa.html

This is a track I made in Reason about 2002/3 It was a pretty impulsive track and I remember making it pretty quickly. I've never made a track as DnB-ish as this. Would like to play around more with this style in the future.

"Music for Sleeping Children  is an experimental collaboration between internationally recognized visual artist Charlie White and Mercury-nominated musician and producer Boom Bip (also known as Bryan Hollon). The project stems from White's investigations of the representation of American adolescence, and was born from a relationship forged between White and Hollon in 2009 when they collaborated on "We Like to Shop," a simple clap-along song from White's experimental cartoon, OMG BFF LOL that Hollon converted into a throbbing club track for the work's US premier at the Aldrich Museum. From there, White and Hollon set out to realize a far more ambitious project conceived by White as the marriage of in-depth teen interviews, discussions, and studio projects with pop, electronica, hip hop and experimental composition. Working in tandem, White and Hollon fashioned the concept of each track around the original studio recordings of teen girls ranging in age from...

More exciting new developments in 3D printing. Looking forward to seeing where this technique goes. http://www.creativeapplications.net/objects/printed-optics-3d-printed-devices/

I love Squarepusher. Always think he has insightful things to say when ever I hear him talk about the creative process. Also, the Breezeblock was very import part of my listening life. part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5qEbAD-sKw&feature=share&list=ULX5qEbAD-sKw part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yKqrEulglE&feature=channel&list=UL

I want a studio like Han Zimmer's one day: http://www.stuckincustoms.com/2011/02/22/hans-zimmer-in-his-studio/ After looking at the pictures I came across this video collection of Hans being interviewed in his studio.

Here is something I've been working on lately.  

A little work in progress.  

Would love to experiment with this technology. For info about looking around corners http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar//cornar/ More about femto photography http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar//trillionfps/

Looking forward to the " I Dream of Wires " doc to come out. I'm not sure when it's to be released, but I think they are still filming content for it and you can help donate to it if you so feel. Also.... time to start saving up for a nice modular ;-)

Pixar's Ed Catmull on How to Be "Brave" in Today's Hollywood: The Full D10 Interview (Video) : With Pixar’s latest animated movie — “Brave” — about to open, using new technology, there’s a lot riding on the outcome for Ed Catmull . As the president and co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and president of Walt Disney Animation Studio, he was key to the debut of the first-ever computer-generated feature film, “Toy Story,” which ushered in a new way of thinking about animation. But the need for showstopping innovation in entertainment never ends, as the celebrity computer scientist and bona fide five-time Oscar winner discussed in this D10 interview with me. Here’s the whole session: [ See post to watch video ] ------------------------------

Nice demo using an ipad, unity3d and qualcomms AR tracking software.

This looks to be one of the more fun AR installations I've seen lately. Found through the wonderful Bruce Sterling

I'm a huge Chris Clark fan and I have never actually heard him talk about his music making.  This pretty great to get some perspective into his thinking. + Bonus: Clark in the studio

More about the cake here

Creativity is the residue of time wasted. Albert Einstein  

Also, loving his new album .

This is a nice series of concept videos from Albert Hwang on how Spatial Computing will work in the future with a combination of kinect like sensors, augmented reality glasses and gloves to control interaction.  He started making this in 2009 and and posted the 3rd on this April.  Some very nice concepts and he explains it a very straight forward manner.  Looking forward to these experiences becoming a reality in the future.

David Byrne and Brian Eno are both amazing artists. I've loved both of their work. I was also inspired by Hillman Curtis when I read his book " MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media. Designer ". Just heard that Hillman Curtis passed away on  April 18, 2012.  Very sad to hear. More artist showcased by Hillman http://hillmancurtis.com/artist-series/

I'm loving the mixes up on musicforprogramming.net/ .  I think it was started up by the artist/programmer datasette Here is the second last mix they had up

Last week I got to experiment with my very first 3d printing.  Totally excited by the topic and I think it's going to be huge in the coming years. Here is the speakers site  http://www.digitalforming.com/

The next stage in video game graphics.

This is lovely  

Some crazy motion tracking.  Reminds me of Autechre's video Gantz Graf

I've known about Raymond Scott for a number of years. But I've never really deeply researched his music and history. Truly one of the originators of electronic music. Here are a few videos showcasing his weirder sounds. This above track from Scott definitely makes me think of the sounds of AFX on the Analord series. Some work he did with Jim Henson

Track can be downloaded on soundcloud

music available on bandcamp

A recent track I put up on Soundcloud.

Thought I would post some SXSW talks that I listened to recently.  Need to comb through the archives and see what else they have, but these will do for now. Bruce Sterling SXSW keynote 2012 Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit ( Ray Kurzweil ) Amber Case on  Ambient Location and the Future of the Interface

Ideas The second self. Techno Social Interaction. Time and space compression

Clay Shirky talking about his concepts of Cognative Surplus and Marshall McLuhan

Always love Bruce Sterlings talks. Can't wait to hear what he has to say next.  I'll have to listen to this again and try to skim out some of the perls of wisdom and post them up here at some point. Here is the conferences website  for the 2011 Art + Environment Conference in Nevada. I believe his next talk will be from SXSW I've made a least two other posts about his talks, which I'll post the links to here. Bruce Sterling on Singularity Bruce Sterling discussing "Vernacular Video"

Love the part where it merges with the table and you get the AR view.

Just came across this artist yesterday and she is definitely hitting on something that I've been thinking about for awhile. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2011/06/the-woodwork-of-cha-jong-rye/ Here is an experiment of mine using blender 3d

Golan Levin's AMA Video Uses Experimental 3D Cinema from FITC on Vimeo .

Awesome animation of some shiny future. I've been wondering why we never see sci-fi done to this detail. So much concept art like this is full of detail, but it ends of getting watered down for the full film watching experience. Liquid Skies- Teaser 1 from Annis Naeem on Vimeo . Music is by Amon Tobin.

Very interesting mirror project. This project is making use of a number of pieces of technology that I've been experimenting with lately. Openframeworks Unity3d blender3d and some facetracking

Interesting stuff. I've been exploring Unity3d for the awhile now and am excited to start adding senor information into the mix. Still Life from Scott Garner on Vimeo . More information on the Artists site http://scott.j38.net/work/interactive/still_life/
