OiNK Admin Not Found Guilty
Read more . . . →Written by enigmax on January 15, 2010: "Lawyers have presented their final arguments in the trial of Alan Ellis. The prosecution slammed the ex-OiNK admin, saying that the site was set up with dishonest and profiteering intentions right from the start. The defense tore into IFPI and countered by calling Ellis an innovator with talents to be nurtured. Today the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty, and Ellis walked free." How long are legal systems going to be junked up with these pointless trials, this is such a distraction from important issues. Read the Complete story at TorrentFreak.com...

Max/MSP Live Coding
Read more . . . →A realtime performance of creating a Max-patch, starting from zero. This is a lot like the final project in third year computer music at Carleton University. The only difference is we had all semester to make something that complex. The other minor difference was that we had to make a midi note engine rather than an audio engine, but I'm sure this would pass as acceptable. The Rules: You have 6 minutes to build a Max-patch and do a performance with it. Start with an empty patch. Only use the standard objects that are part of Max/MSP/Jitter. Don’t use externals,...

Anatomy of a Remix - Feel It by Tiesto feat Three Six Mafia
Read more . . . →Here is a quick screen capture of where I'm at so far in this remix. The first stage involved setting up all my samples in time. The vocal was really tricky on this one, and took a lot of playing around with to get it timed properly but perhaps you won't have trouble with it. Next I was trying to replace the first synth which, as it turns out, is very complex. There are many effects on Tiesto's final version. The files in the remix pack already have been processed with reverb, delays and (too much) side-chain compression by Tiesto...

Read more . . . →Watch: Enemy of the State (Scott, 1998) Reading: Munster, Anna. "Welcome to Google Earth." Critical Digital Studies: A Reader. Toronto: University of Toronto Printing Press, 2008. Print. As I began shifting into my units about copyright infringement I wanted to look at some of the good and bad aspects of technology’s infringement on our privacy. While a decade ago Enemy of the State (1998) seemed a like a bit of a conspiracy theory movie, the digital mapping technology that was imagined ten years ago is now a reality with Google Earth and even Google Street View within its Maps application....

Class 5: Alternative microcosms
Watch: Synecdoche, New York (Kaufman, 2008) My next screening has less to do with technology and more to do with alternative realities and ties up my unit on simulated realities, and representations. I felt that during later parts of Synecdoche, New York (2008) the multitude of actors existing in the same space, but playing people that are in the same room was a good representation of the avatars created in Surrogates and A.I.Read more . . . →
