This is why teaching music and making it part of growing up is so important.

Amazingly uplifting and some of the kids are really going for it!!

Yes I know that everyone is pinging Chatroulette stuff around the moment – but this deserves the limelight. I’ll spare all the waffle but if you haven’t seen it all you need to know is:

1 – Merton creates Chatroulette Piano Improv.
2 – Ben Fold creates Ode to Merton.

Enjoy…

Suddenly Chatroulette seems a lot less scary and dark.

Brilliant stuff from both these guys.

Comedian Doug Stanhope on the US News Media networks

Posted: March 9th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Funny, Social | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

I thought long and hard about posting these videos because I imagine quite a few people won’t like a) what Doug Stanhope has to say, and b) the way he says it.

His bio reads like a NSFW website warning: “Dougs material ranges from true-life graphic perversion to volatile social criticism. Doug is vulgar, opinionated, brutally honest and shockingly uninhibited and is certainly not for everybody.” But I think his observations are dead on.

The following are all from Season 2 of Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe.

Look at the state of these ads on YouTube

Posted: March 9th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Advertising, Funny, Technology, Web | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

How cheap does it make YouTube and the video content look.

1/ Join Free, Flirt Now.
2/ I built a Free website.

The be fair the “flirt ad” is the main offender here, it’s pretty shocking.

At least the Yola ad has some design around the stock photo.

The only bonus is that someone has written a great little spoof “link building” comment underneath. :)

About to go stellar. OK Go “This Too Shall Pass”

Posted: March 2nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Creative, Funny, Music, Visual | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »


via YouTube

Filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs over the course of several months.

This is the Rube Goldberg machine version. In other words, a video depicting complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

Currently at 679 views. Expect a jump soon.

Stick in your URL. Codeorgan analyses the <body> content. Does some clever stuff. Then plays back a musical interpretation of your content.

Give it a go: http://www.codeorgan.com/

My song sounded a bit weird. Bad content I reckon.

Generative Music Visualization

Posted: February 17th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design, Digital, Funny, Technology, Visual | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »


Clavilux 2000 – Interactive instrument for generative music visualization from Jonas Heuer on Vimeo.

The Clavilux 2000 is an interactive instrument for generative music visualization.

The setting of the installation consists of three parts:
- a digital piano with 88 keys and midi output
- a computer running a vvvv patch
- a vertical projection above the keyboard.

For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and speed the way the particular key was stroke.

Colours give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations – and each key has it’s own color scheme and “wrong” notes stand out in contrasting colors.

Would love to see Les Dawson do his piano ‘routine’ on it.

EDIT

For people who have no idea who I’m talking about – here’s the man himself.
