Now you know:
In this video the Metasonix TM-7 Scrotum Smasher is annihilating the Analogue Solutions SEMblance monosynth. The LFO of the Moog CP-251 is modulating the Scrotum amount. All of it is running through a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo that’s pretty cranked. The first little clip is the SEMblance dry.

This 1970’s euro pop cover of YMCA, NMKY in Finnish, is beyond horrible.
Just when you think this video can’t get any worse, the backup dancers come in with the shiny hot pants.
Let me know what you think - were the seventies really that bad? Extra credit if you can name that synth.

Check out this amazing video from Robert Hodgin, made with Processing, an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.
I’m blown away - awesome stuff!
If you’re doing anything with Processing and music, let me know in the comments.

This video demos an adaptive use musical interface designed to let people with disabilities make music.
That’s a noble goal by itself - but I can imagine electronic musicians having fun with this, too.
There’s a commercial product with some similar features, Hipno, from Cycling 74.

In this video, Jean Michel Jarre encourages fans to make “fair” creative use of his music.
He doesn’t go into details of what “fair” is, which is unfortunate. I’d like to see more artists, like Jarre, encouraging fans to make videos, remixes and covers using Creative Commons licenses. For new artists, this is easy, but […]

This is an M-Audio sponsored look at BT’s This Binary Universe.
It’s not too heavy on the M-Audio angle, and offers some interesting insight into the Album.
If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the This Binary Universe preview, and also our review.

Cheesy - but also an interesting piece of video sampling.
How long does it take to put something like this together?

The latest trailer for Planet B-Boy makes it look a must-see movie.
Check out the intelligence and wittiness of the editing on the trailer. I especially love the cut-back to the kid that says “Get over it”!
If you’ve seen this already, let me know if it lives up to the trailer!
Here are the announced release dates:

Fun new video from Goldfrapp for Happiness - a great video from a great CD.
Pay attention to how man shots there are in the video, and how many times Alison Goldfrapp shows up.
See anything else weird?

The latest video from Björk - Wanderlust - continues her tradition of mind-boggling videos.

This video effectively combines audio and video sampling.
Many people were filmed in St Michael’s church in Byker Newcastle, indidivudally, over the course of a day, playing single notes on various insruments to create a note bank that composer Andy Jackson used to create the score that you see and hear. Most of the participants had […]

The Zizzle Zoundz is a psychedelic electronic music toy that looks to me like it might be as much fun for parents as it is for kids.
Apparently it uses RFID embedded in the pieces that act as triggers.
Here’s the official description:
Zoundz creates a fusion of self- composed music with an accompanying light show. With it, […]

An abstract music video by Stretta, made by animating particle generators for each musical part.
The music is Coalescence and Luxation, which was created on an analog modular synth, one monophonic line at a time, primarily with Cwejman modules. Full synth nerd details at Stretta’s site.

Bikini girls, Muscle Beach, the Moog, and a naked guy are featured prominently in this synth-beat, electro piece You can’t ignore my Techno.
Electric Six are also the guys behind the videos Improper Dancing, I Buy The Drugs and Gay Bar.

This is pretty insane - a robot that moves around, collects samples and then lays down funky beats.
The robot first plays on the object it finds (or is forced to find by the angry cameraman), plays a small beat, and records the beat it plays on it. Then this recorded beat is played again, and […]
