There’s a new Oliver Sacks documentary, “Musicophilia: Tales of music and the brain”. It can be watched free online until the 7th July on the PBS/Nova site. Very interesting!

I received this video and immediately remembered the Bjork gig! That’s easily the most beautiful way to control a synthesizer. Forget visuals, just put a live camera with the output to a big screen to hypnotize the audience.
Right now it’s a prototype with only a few units available. Do you guys think that this types of futuristic controllers will become more available to the public?

“The glass harmonica is an instrument that enjoyed a spell of popularity during the 18th century. It is a form of idiophone, but this particular instrument fell from fashion following claims that it induced insanity in both performers and audiences…
The principle of the glass harmonica is the same as how one plays wine glasses by rubbing the rim (which may be facilitated by using a suitable liquid lubricant such as water). Such glasses can also produce varying tones as the volume of water contained within is altered.”
Incredible!

I will be playing at this great festival at one of the most beautifull places in Brazil.
Expect some new songs with Flict Live and great new releases with the DJ Set.

I heard that idea some days ago… Found it today. Crazy!!!
BT and Sonik Architects created a very cool iPhone and iPod Touch app: Sonifi.
It seems the buttons are a little small… But fun to play with!
And if you don’t know who is BT (creator of the sounds), please do yourself a favour and grab “This Binary Universe”! It’s one of the best albums ever made in my opinion!
