This is the official teaser video for DEWANATRON! A 3D Stereoscopic Documentary, which looks like it will be a heaping serving of awesome:
DEWANATRON! is the struggle of two inventors, cousins Brian and Leon Dewan to design, manufacture, sell, and play unique analogue synthesizers in an overwhelmingly digital world.
The soundtrack for Everardo Valerio Gout?s Spanish-language thriller Days Of Grace looks interesting – with contributions from Nick Cave, Atticus Ross (The Social Network) and Shigeru Umebayashi (House of Flying Daggers).
The CD isn’t due out until May 8th, but an unusual track from the soundtrack has already leaked out.
The track, a cover of George Gershwin’s Summertime, pairs Scarlett Johansson with 3D (Robert Del Naja) of Massive Attack.
Johansson’s vocal career hasn’t gotten a lot of traction yet and her albums have even been dismissed by some as vanity projects. But this collaboration actually works pretty well, taking both Johansson and Gershwin into new territory.
Check out Scarlett Johansson + 3D’s Summertime and let us know what you think:
Tone2 has released this teaser image for the Saurus Analog Synthesizer, saying nothing more than ‘Saurus will be available soon’.
Based on the image, Saurus looks like an awesomely tasty new analog synth. But we’re going to assume that it’s going to be a new virtual analog VSTi, with a gratuitously sexy 3D ad.
We’ll let you know when Tone2 releases more details!
DJ TechTools has introduced the MIDI Fighter 3D, a new arcade style MIDI controller that they describe as ‘the most expressive compact controller on the market’.
How do make a bank of 16 buttons into an expressive controller?
In addition to the bank of 16 arcade style buttons, the MIDI Fighter 3D controller offers full three dimensional tracking of the controller?s movement in space. While this would add some interesting options, by itself, the 3D tracking can be used in combination with the 16 buttons, multiplying your options.
This is another sneak preview of the upcoming AudioGL – a 3D modular music-making environment.
The video features a patching demonstration and an entire track written with one monophonic oscillator.
There’s a lot of interesting things going on in this video – so give it a few minutes and let us know what you think.
Do you want to make music in a 3D ‘Tron’-style virtual world?
We’re not sure about the value of the 3D eye-candy – but AudioGL has piqued our interest……
This video demonstrates the 3D Vibes – an acoustic vibraphone extended by way of 3D gesture recognition using the Microsoft Kinect.
Tech details:
Kinect-Max/MSP (Kinect Datastream-OSC-MIDI)- controlling filter parameters in Ableton Live to modulate the acoustic audio input from the vibraphone in real-time.
Developed by Gabrielle Odowichuk and Shawn Trail @ MISTIC.
