The visualization of some sound play I made this morning using my G-ma's organ.
I was helping a student figure some things out using analyzed audio along with some visual things you can do in Flash with that data and I got excited to play with it some more so today I did. Here is a video of it being drawn Drawn with Action Script. Analyzed by Flash Amp.
I was rummaging around in a DV Tape this morning looking for something and I stumbled across this footage I forgot I had taken last summer at the SEA Airport.
The audio is more play from my Grandmother's beautifully crackling organ.
A voicemail I recieved from JM3 talking about the idea of "Formalplay" and how it ended up in his process. Also, this is the first use of my Awesome Friends Cable.
I have the awesomest friends. (If you think you do you are wrong. Because I do.) And sometimes they leave me the awesomest voicemails and I have been wanting a way to save them. The old method of micing the phone itself never really worked well and I realized that the phone does have an audio out so I made this cable last night so that I could get phone activity directly into a recording device.
It started with an 1/8 inch jack and an old hands free unit with a broken mic we had laying around {thanks [M]}.
Once I took the hands free unit apart I realized that there where 2 cables (one for voice, one for ears) so I had to crack the mic open to see which one went where. The copper+red one was the one I needed.
Each set of 2 wires was in one plastic tubing with a very loose divider so I had to protect them from each other. I just smashed some electrical tape around the one.
After I soldered the points to the 1/8 jack and put the jack housing back up and around I taped off the end I was not using and I had my cable.
A few months ago I used my RE:cursive typedrawing engine to render out some headlines and other forms for a magazine to use in a feature story about motion graphics in Detroit. I think it is a pretty interesting fit. The idea of type rendered over time and different every time has always intrigued me and I was excited to find out that someone found it to be of interest.
The issue came out recently and I just picked up a copy today [thnx to a tip from an internet friend]. My good friends at Defrost Design are responsible for the design and the connection to my project and I am geeked at how it turned out. Here are a couple quick scans from the 6 page spread.
In 3rd grade we where learning about color and one day while learning about how black is the combination of all color I made a drawing of outer space and used the black [without using the black crayon] to be "nothing" so the idea of black on paper being "everything" was confusing to me. I remember saying something along the lines of "It's what blind people see... black." And my teacher responded "How do you know?" so I told him "because when I close my eyes all I see is black." but he wasn't buying it. I forget exactly what he said but it was along the lines of "You can't know that *that* is what blind people see" and so on and his responce made me very frustrated.
I've since realized what my teacher was saying. The basis of his argument was that you can't say "Blind people see black" because you have already determined that they cannot see by using the label "blind".
After several days of trying and trying to get subversion installed on my Mac I had to take a break to help a little guy with his Pinewood Derby Car. While shopping for supplies with him I found these stencils at the hardware store. Late that night after googling every line needed for the terminal to get svn not only up and running but also running as a server I had to go make something affected by gravity. Having some left over paint from his car and the stencils at 2am was a good mix.
