Low budget promo
March 5th, 2010, posted in linksIn our breakout at Unleash we talked about some of the key principles to creating content, none of which involved big dollars. And to illustrate the concepts of brainstorming and scripting we created this promo on the day of Unleash with a Flip Mino camera. Unfortunately we had some technicals issue loading it in so quickly… otherwise we would have run it as part of the second session’s counter. But you can view it here.
Noise for the low price of free
March 2nd, 2010, posted in linksWant to experiment with sound and noise? Look no further than Noiseplug 1.8, available now, for free, right here.

January 21st, 2010, posted in linksWhat? Final Fantasy is coming to the iPhone? This really takes me back to my younger years. I don’t know that I’d have the time to invest in these games again, but what a cool idea.

Nanoloop experiment #123009
January 1st, 2010, posted in linksA month or so ago I picked up a new audio experiment, nanoloop. Maybe it’s a toy. Maybe it’s an instrument. It’s a bit of a blur, but that’s part of what makes it fun.
nanoloop is “a synthesizer / sequencer cartridge for Game Boy consoles,” according to the site. It was developed by Oliver Wittchow. With this cartridge you have access to a 4-track audio sequencer. There are 2 monosynth tracks (designated “r” and “l”), a polysynth (”s”), and a rhythmic noise track (”n”). Combined together with some deft programming you can create bleeps and blips that sound like Daft Punk in Hyrule. And if you organize your digital snippets well you can use the interface to perform it all live.
What fascinates me is the re purposing of an electronic device into something that, in the right hands, can produce valid musical ideas. Anything can become an instrument. And it doesn’t have to be all that cost prohibitive.
Here is one of my first experiments into the nanoloop.
A special thanks to Bayshorts for donating the Gameboy.
