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

"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

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.

David Byrne and Brian Eno interview with Hillman Curtis

David Byrne and Brian Eno are both amazing artists. I've loved both of their work.

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'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.

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.
