Dan Deacon

In the past few months I’ve been enjoying a lot this new “garage electronic” music (I call it) which has been deserving a lot of attention and airplay in the current indie/alt circuits.
A perfect example is Dan Deacon who seems to enjoy a lot what he does, as far as we can see in the videos and public appearances… Dan is kind enough to share a load of mp3′s on his “coming soon site”.
stream here a mixtape called Silly Hat vs Egle Hat: (may be unavailable soon) more here: dandeacon.com/mp3

Graphite Sequencer

Graphite Sequencer (2006) by Calb Coppock| Video
graphiteseq_02_mid.jpg
graphiteseq_01_mid.jpg

“Graphite Sequencer” by Caleb Coppock. Video. Graphite conducts electricity. Two wires brush against the surface of a paper disk as it spins. The wires are connected to a simple electronic tone generator. When a line of graphite is drawn across the disk, connecting the two wires, a tone is heard.

Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant grimace. And an ant-sized chip in its lower left molar. “Perhaps the most amazing demo I’ve seen this year,” wrote Ethan Zuckerman, after TED2007. Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform the way we manipulate and experience digital images.

TED | About TED
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
