MEng project: lil2
An intelligent MIDI sequencer was designed with hamster control. The MIDI sequencer intelligently produced melodies by manipulating the musical elements of rhythm and note-choice. Guided by inputs based on hamster movements, Markov chains were used to perform such beat and note computations. Link: MEng project: lil2.
America Graphic Design
Oh, and just another quick look at the Kobbe & Nitro graphic design that I so gloriously designed myself (click picture for full size):
Releases Imminent
Been a while since I posted so I thought I’d throw up a quick word that the Iio and Kobbe & Nitro remix releases are imminent. It’s unreal to me (but in a good way) that the release getting the most interest and generating the most excitement is the free remix I released on this site just prior to the … Read More
XM Play
A friend tells me they think they heard Chris Fortier play one of the ‘America’ remixes on his XM show Friday night..

They had told me they … Read More

Jason Kottke (of kottke.org) is apparently being strongarmed by faceless but monstrous corporation Sony over his leak about Ken Jennings’ loss on Jeopardy Tuesday. Perhaps this should not come as that big a surprise coming from a company so integral to the RIAA, but this goes even farther than that. Kottke doesn’t have a whole lot of details on his … Read More
America Sticker
This is the graphic design of the sticker I did for the cover of the "America 2005" release. It shouldn’t be too much longer before that one is out. I used the Thomas Jefferson quote at the bottom of the sticker – I think clicking on the image should bring it up full-size so it can be read.
del.icio.us
I’ve been using del.icio.us a ton lately. It’s one of those things that is easier to show than describe, but in short, it’s a community bookmarking system that features tagging in a Gmail-style way (meaning you can have a bookmark that falls under multiple classifications). If their site can handle the bandwidth I think it’s really going to be huge. … Read More
