30 days, 30 tunes - Days 7-9: Being unproductive
May 10th, 2009Days 7-9 were pretty unproductive for me. The tracks for days 7-8 are on my 8bc profile if you really want to listen to them. I recommend you stick to the following track, which is for day 9. It’s a pretty straightforward happy track.
30 days, 30 tunes - Day 6: Amens are all the rage
May 7th, 2009Today I’m letting out some rage, gabber/breakcore style. For the mashing of this amen I’ve re-used some of the techniques from day 3.
30 days, 30 tunes - Day 5: Chase
May 6th, 2009I don’t know exactly which genre this one belongs in, but it has amenz. :p
30 days, 30 tunes - Day 4: Fake Vader Dub + Day 3: Grainbrain
May 5th, 2009Another unfinished track, but damn so good. Yeah, I’m pleased with how this came out. Pretty massive. This is a dubby tune loosely based on the Imperial March main melody. (Yes, one note is wrong, and that’s the way I want it. It’s not meant to be a cover of the march.)

For day 3 I posted the first part of what will become my 72h challenge submission. It’s some crazy glitchy break cutting/granular synthesis using only the Gameboy’s wave channel in LSDj’s kit mode.

30 days, 30 tunes - Day 2: Summer Love
May 3rd, 2009It’s a bit unfinished, especially the beat and the drums which repeat through out the song without hange, but I’m pretty happy with it.
30 days, 30 tunes - Day 1
May 1st, 2009So, I boldly joined this challenge to write 30 songs in 30 days.
The idea of it is that in a timeframe of 30 days you are to write 30 songs. These songs can be a 10 second long melody and bassline or an epic, melodic 15 minute long piece.
There is little chance of actually completing 30 masterpieces, but that isn’t the point. The point is to push your boundaries of what you would normally do.
I’m writing a small DB app which will soon be available where participants can submit their tracks which are then displayed in a table with each person’s name as the row and the days as columns. Until that’s done, I’ll make a post everyday here on my blog with links to all tracks for that day.
calmdownkidder - Erm, short but… short
the ant boy - Nice acidish tune made with ProTrekkr.

More to come, I hope.
Zero G Fluid Dynamics + a 500 kV electrical arc
April 25th, 2009Two cool clips to compete with the Fluid Sculpture.
Shows how water behaves in zero gravity. (Recorded on the International Space Station) As is apparent, surface tension is still going strong even without gravity. The first two experiments investigate how the sphere (!) of water behaves when subjected to air. In experiment 1 by blowing a puff of air onto the sphere. In experiment 2 by injecting a bubble of air into the sphere. Experiment 3 investigates what happens if you dissolve an Alka-Seltzer in the sphere.
Fluid dynamics in zero G rocks. Yep, those are some Massive Dynamics indeed.
My only little complaint is that they didn’t use a high FPS camera, like this one.
Not much to say except that that’s a huge arc!
Ayanami Rei’s field trip
April 18th, 2009During my random net excursions I’ve found two people who came up with the same brilliant idea, to let their Ayanami Rei action figures take walk in the “forest”. I think Rei’s blue hair goes well with green leaves/grass. And of course, Rei is one my favourite characters with her introvert behaviour and contemplating look.
The pictures are taken from Moé Rabu (Moé Love) and Polyvinyl Crush. (There’s also a bunch more pictures from the same sets there, so do check it out if this suits your fancy)

Gameboy: 20 years!
April 15th, 2009To celebrate the soon-to-come 20 year anniversary of Nintendo Gameboy, technologizer has posted 13 odd Gameboy related items. I can proudly say that I’ve seen all of them except slide 2, 12 and 13 before. As expected, Gijs’ Grey Brick is in there, as well as the Golden Gameboy and the Gameboy that survived the Gulf War. (However, despite the claims, I believe the latter was regutted and not found in a working condition)
However, of the oddities, this is one is my favourite.
“The PediSedate releases nitrous oxide while children play the Game Boy in order to sedate them for doctor/dentist visits.”
Yes, I’d like me some nitrous hrough this slightly (not) cyberpunk-esque device while tracking some LSDj! (Which is a music sequencer, not a drug, mind ya)
