Music Thing: Nintendo DS hacked into cool wireless MIDI controller
UPDATE: Here is the download. This is what German hacker/student/musician Tob, who created the cool NitroTracker old-school tracker app for the DS has been working on: Software to turn put easy-to-use MIDI into the Nintendo DS using WiFi. Previously, you've had to use hardware. The DS obviously sucks as a keyboard, but is great as a little X-Y controller like a Kaoss Pad, and presumably there's no
Music Thing: How to: Turn a bowl of water into an $8 audio controller
Sebastian Tomczak is an Australian musician/programmer/video game hacker. This video shows how he turned a laser pointer, a bowl of water, a solar panel and (I'm guessing) a Max/MSP patch into a (nearly) musical instrument. He's developed the concept into the Toriton Plus, with five lasers. It's beautiful, although I get nervous seeing that bowl of water next to a laptop... (Thanks, Steven)
Music Thing: The MPC1000's hacked OS now plays Pong
This isn't - as far as I can work out - a hoax, but a real screenshot from the next version of the unnoficial MPC1000 operating system, which appeared in June 2006. It's been created by an anonymous collective of Japanese hackers who post updates every week or so here. The MPC community have obviously been delighted: "This group of coders has been given the name JJ - short for Japanese Jenius. Of
Music Thing: Andre Duracell: Drummer + Nord Modular G2 = Awesome!
Here's a fantastic, grainy clip of Andre Duracell playing in London last year, with more clips here and here (check out the guy stroking his chin, dancing a bit, then getting something in his eye...). Andre uses a drum kit with audio triggers going into a Nord Modular G2 rack, which fire off a load of sequences, letting him play video game soundtracks like Space Harrier. Sometimes, the G2 is playe
Music Thing: Herbie Hancock on Sesame Street
This is a wonderful clip of Herbie Hancock, demonstrating his Fairlight on Sesame Street in 1983-4. The little girl at the start is Tatyana Ali, who went on to become Ashley in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and the geek in the background is Clive Smith, who didn't. At around the same time, this is how Herbie looked on Saturday Night Live, with an Rhodes Chroma (+ the expander), a black Fairlight, a
Music Thing: The hamster powered MIDI sequencer
So there's this guy Levy Lorenzo. He's a percussionist and I'm pretty sure that this is him playing with his band 'The Teapot Dome Orchestra'. He is (or was) a student at Cornell, studying MIDI, so he decided to build a Hamster controlled MIDI sequencer. It's three note polyphonic. Each channel is controlled by two hamsters, one for the melody, one for the rhythm. The output (through a Boss Dr Syn
