gettin up in the morning and having mails in your box, that represent more than just pure stress, is a marvellous thingy..this one i got this morning from our friends @ MPM.
the guys are helping out Twit One releasing his beat compilation “Puzzles” on the mysterious AUDDA label; a beat puzzle made of 16 pieces by 16 producers, curated by Twit One with contributions from Suff Daddy, Hulk Hodn, Kankick, Hubert Daviz, Retrogott, Adlib and many more! this will be a limited (500) vinyl only release. Twit One himself & Robert Winter (photography) are in charge of the fresh sleeve design. looking absolutely forward.

some of my favs packed in a short stream:

PS: MPM/AUDDA is giving you a tune for free…a really nice one by tobrock, called 6AM, is available right here

what the future sounded like

5. Mai 2010 BNCKD

marvellous 3 part mini documentary about the legendary EMS (electronic music studios), a british synthesizer company founded in 1969 by peter zinovieff. they developed a pretty nice and back then revolutionary range of gear.
famewise i´d mention the vcs3 and their vocoder, heavily used by artists such as tangerine dream, the who, ala parsons project, david bowie, giorgio moroder and others.
you´ll find loads of additional info bout their products and team above, and here, just give it a click…

shoe bending…

19. April 2010 BNCKD

if you know how, you can bend almost everything to a working midi controller…
this here was realized with ableton´s max for live - some good looking audible and nice stuff from japan and according to the original site, absolutely real and not a fake.
well, nike´s always been pretty keen on innovative commercials..enough talkin, let´s watch this..

“Lovers of experimental sound art will immediately recognize one of the Shoe-Js: it’s Daito Manabe, a bleeding-edge sound artist and alternative interface guru with a background in turntablism. I spoke to Daito, and convinced him to share the software that makes the project tick. Daito says he used flex sensors (see examples) and accelerometers to make the shoes interactive. He then processed the control signal and converted it to sound using the modular visual programming environment Max/MSP and Ableton’s Max for Live. (For another example and other resources, you can check out the article I wrote for Make Magazine issue 8, in which I stuffed flex sensors into a sock monkey and connected it via MIDI.)”

the man behind the chime

ich bin zwar alles andere als ein mac user, das iphone mal ausser acht gelassen, das hier trotzdem nicht uninteressant für die apple heads out there…

http://www.vimeo.com/9370716

nice little interview with the man behind the famous chimes sound you hear, every time you startup your mac…
onemorething.nl visited him in san jose: jim reekes, who worked for apple for over 12 years, during which he left his mark on everything sound at apple. here´s some more info on the man behind apple´s sounddesigns.

SUPERCITY SERVERPROBLEME

24. Februar 2010 BNCKD

hi folks

die letzten tage fällt immer wieder der server aus, wo unsere schöne geschichte hier draufliegt.
tut uns natürlich furchtbar leid und sorgt für verwirrung und frust…ist aber ein generelles problem von unserem webhost silverserver und scheint ziemlich komplex zu sein, da es zeitweise zb bei verschiedenen usern auftritt, gleichzeitig bei anderen gar nicht. ähnliche probleme dürften selten bis noch nie aufgetreten sein, die jungs sind ja sonst ziemliche cracks was das netz betrifft, aber server haben nun mal ab und an ihre macken.
anyways…sie versprechen eine baldige lösung des problems, bis dahin hilft leider nur alle paar stunden wieder reinzuschaun und herumprobieren, falls es mal nicht gehen sollte!

copyright criminals

24. Januar 2010 BNCKD

http://www.vimeo.com/8104271hab HIER schon mal 2 dokus mit ähnlichem sujet gepostet - nachwievor und weiterhin und auch in zukunft ein brandheisses thema. nämlich sampling. gottseidank sind wir nie so bekannt geworden, dass uns wer verklagen würd, ich befürcht allein die smart blip hätte die 450 er grenze gesprengt.

nachtrag:
einige haben die doku schon in den staaten gesehn, hab heut auch noch n bisschen im netz gestöbert…ähnlich “jung” wie das problem selbst dürften eben auch die ersten versuche sein, darüber dokus zu drehen.  eine richtig schöne BBCfour doku zum thema copyright / sampling / creative commons / usw…wär definitiv mal an der zeit! anyways  - die kritiken sind leider nicht so gut ausgefallen:
