This music video, Tenorance, features Yamaha Tenori On and Motif ES Rack.

Details below.

via Tonneman:

This song has been created by me using the Yamaha Tenori-On. I used the Tenori to create the layers (patterns) using score mode and random mode. A total of 8 different layers have been created. Once the layers were created, I used the Tenori to control the Yamaha Motif ES Rack to produce the sounds (8 parts). Obviously, the Motif ES Rack can produce much better sounds than the Tenori’s internal sound processor.Have fun!

NSFW: This Wired feature takes a look at a new 360-degree interactive video system that media lab Obscura Digital is creating to install in a Las Vegas penthouse.

The technology looks amazing – but it looks like the content they are preparing for the penthouse cinema install is pretty dumbed-down and sexist. That may be perfect for a Las Vegas install – but I’d like to see a system like this configured to create cutting edge generative graphics, based on music – something like the psychedelic graphics of Glenn Marshall. That would create an incredible dance environment.

Give this a look and leave a comment with your thoughts. Is there a future for this technology, beyond 80’s video graphics and dancing girls?

This is pretty much the best Halloween music gag ever – the MIDI-Controlled animated skull.

Last year, when we covered the keyboard-controlled animated skull, it was still a hack. This year, you can buy it off the shelf at Division 6.

If you get one of these, make a video and leave a link below!

Description:

This MIDI-controlled animated skull has eyes that light up and a mouth that moves. Connect it to a computer to create your own custom animations. Use it by itself or as part of a larger prop.

This particular version of the skull has eyeballs that light up white. A clear skull is also available, along with one with scary red eyes.

MIDI Implementation:

Send note-on/note-off events to the skull to make the mouth open/close and the eyes turn on/off.

• Note 60 (C4): Mouth
• Note 61 (C#4): Eyes

Includes:

• Skull
• Custom MIDI Cable
• 3 AA Batteries (installed)

Division 6 also sells a kit to MIDIfy Your Skull or other props with motors & LEDs. (Talking Bass, anyone?)

Make ran an article on hacking the skull last year, too.

This is the music video for Ethan Goldhammer’s funky In The Pocket.

This is another great example of how you can make a visually striking music video without a lot of money, if you’ve got a great idea and execute it well.

Bruno Levy took thousands of photographs in Patan, Nepal over the course of a week using flashlights and long exposures.

After getting the nod from Modeselektor and BPtich Control, he created a stop-motion narrative synched to Deboutonner.

Note: This video contains vibrant flashing images.

Dead Soul Brothers – Over time

The video was made by photographing the controlled electron beams of a tesla coil on a variety of exposure lengths. These still images were then arranged to create a visual system of electron organization. The image radically changes on every frame giving a powerful flicker effect which contrasts with the steadily shifting chords of the track.

My hope is that the video will either hypnotize the viewer or brake their eyes!

This video pairs some vintage bizarro claymation with an electronic soundtrack featuring the Dave Smith Instruments Tetra.

via peterkeys88:

Your hearing the sounds of the new Dave Smith Tetra, plus a few things from a Moog Voyager, with some multitracking in Logic. This cartoon is rather frightening, i dont know what it was originally for but i suppose they’re trying to get the children to behave.
