Watching this visualization of a piano piece has me just a mesmerized as watching the internal workings of an old music box. It’s a demonstration of a piece of software called Music Animation Machine. It’s the same concept, but with a longer piece and the addition of color:
Here’s a fun post from Games Radar demonstrating that pretty much anything can look like Pac-Man. Sadly, none of the examples are sinks.
Pretty self explanatory, but very neat stuff.
Found it here on Neatorama, where else?
You’ve probably all heard about Radiohead’s little game of letting anyone remix their single, “Nude”, but this one takes it to a whole other level. James Houston played forced the tracks out of old and abused computer equipment (or at least sampled them).
He had this to say about the idea:
This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm… …I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.
See for yourself (skip in to 1:09 for the music to start):
You can also catch it in full res and full screen at the source here.
I shot this time lapse footage of last night’s lunar eclipse as a fun little experiment. Enjoy!
Print may be dead, but printing isn’t. Pazazz hopped on the viral bandwagon with this Dave Attell style rant:
Funny. And true. But mostly funny.
Apparently this is the intro sequence to a Lakai Footwear skate movie titled Fully Flared. Very well done. Be sure to stick around long enough to catch the finale:
EDIT: Lakai had the video taken down. I guess they hate free publicity? DailyMotion still has it up though.
This just in: Saw on some other posts that the explosion at the end is quite real:
“the most dangerous part of the introduction was Mike Mo Capaldi’s switch flip, which was followed by a staircase being blown up with napalm”
Also it was directed by Spike Jones, and as you’ve probably figured out by now, the music is by M83.
What do soup cans, gum balls, and eggs have in common? Well, besides being round, they’ve all been used to trigger programmable drum machines:
The Drum Buddy
Triggered by light shining through holes in a large aluminum can.
Bubblegum Sequencer
Triggered by colored gum balls placed on a grid.
“Almost Certified”
Cumputer sequencer triggers hammers that hit various sized eggs… for some reason.
