I just put some more tracks up – The Hollow Men Part Two and the long (20 min or so, so that makes for a large download) Pattern Recognition 01. There is also The Hollow Men Part Three out there, so give that a listen too. Right click em and “save target as” to download.
Stasisfield has a new release from minimal (small?) musician Josh Russell. A live set for Aux-in recorded in Austin Texas. I recommend you grab some good quality headphones, download the two tracks, and just sit and really listen. You can almost feel its texture and motion. ++++
I might also add that THIS is a robot controlled by a captive cockroach, which can run you down with its new chassis. The possibilities are, well, a bit scary.
dorkbot-socal “people doing strange things with electricity ” – A group of electronic artists/programmers/engineers who meet up for informal peer review and such. I gotta drop in on this sometime..
Sound art often makes for good public art – something about the way that it can either work as background, or create something to stop and focus in on and contemplate. Anyway – there is a new permanent sound installation in the parking garage below Edgemar Plaza in Santa Monica, read about it here, or just go check out it in person.
Starck designed a nice glowing optical mouse – cheap too. Take a peek here.
Design your own machine parts and have them milled (or laser cut, thermoformed, water jet cut, etc.) and sent to you, all via the web. I plan to take advantage of this one soon. ++++
I love the Ontario College of Art and Design’s new building. Will Alsop is one crazy mofo.. I almost can’t believe this wacky thing got built. +++
I made a quick little song last night in Acid Pro.. it’s based on part of the poem The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot, which I ran through a web based voice generator trying to read English in Spanish. All the other sounds are samples from the drum machine program Fruity Loops, a bit abused and at a different tempo than intended. Check it out here – The Hollow Men Part Three.
