Created by Henry Chu of pill & pillow (www.pillandpillow.com), a Hong Kong design studio, Squiggle is an iPad application that allows you to draw lines on the screen which turn into stings and can be played like guitar. Keeping the device flat you can draw and modify existing one. Tilting the device will turn the screen black allowing you to play them. Turning the device over will clear the screen. See video below for demo.
This is one of the most intense & disturbing films I've seen in a long time. Darkly beautiful and featuring the stunning Pacific NW. Be prepared.
PS: You can catch a couple of Grouper's songs on my bi-weekly podcast. More info on how to subscribe on www.electriceccentricradio.com
Just been tuned onto this video - pretty rad. Sort of future medieval styles. Looks like it's all shot in Oregon. Represent.
I've started a radio show on WKE Radio. You can find all about it over at www.electriceccentricradio.com and you can listen to the first mix of many from the link above.
Enjoy & share!
Alexander Chen has created a really great piece of art / music using HTML 5, Javascript (and a teeny bit of Flash via Javascript for the sound). The piece visualises the movements of the New York subway system. You can watch the video above or follow the link to experience it live in the browser. Information about the piece can be read here.
Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA's actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli's 1972 diagram.
This is the first in mixes and tunes I find on the Internets that should feed your head. Stones Throw are by far my fave label, and those nice folks have put together a mix of what to expect from them in 2011. Essential.
A wonderful collection of super stere-ere-o badges from various LPs from across the ages. Hit refresh to get a new selection.
I love all these little nano synth type toys that are coming out. Makes the Stylophone look primitive in comparison! Love it!
