Not much more in terms of news or deep thoughts right now. I’m in coding mode, so I don’t have many interesting topics to write about. I could finish up that post I was working on back in June, that discussed how vuvuzelas and orchestras both share the characteristics that the individual partials are transformed into noise bands centered around the original partials, and that this relates to Mark Dolson’s Ph.D thesis on creating ensemble effects using the phase vocoder. However, I wouldn’t call vuvuzelas a “fresh” topic. So, here’s some videos.
Epileptics in bedrooms theme? Perhaps you can map Squier’s knees and elbows through the video and turn that into a mod source.
I think of “Dance Commander” as being a bit of homage to the Squier video.
My wife was watching the “Rock Me Tonite” video, and said it best: “Video killed the radio star.”
