MULTIMODAL BRAIN ORCHESTRA...
Durant les Jeux olympiques et depuis Vancouver, la start-up torontoise InteraXon a mis à la disposition du public une interface faisant la liaison entre un cerveau et un ordinateur. Ce dispositif a permis d'illuminer les chutes Niagara, la tour de Toronto et du Parlement d'Ottawa, à une distance de 3 000 km et grâce aux ondes cérébrales bêta (concentration) et alpha (relaxation) des spectateurs. Des centaines de personnes font la file pour dévoiler en temps réel leurs ondes cérébrales et ainsi illuminer ces sites.
Un autre exploit a été accompli à Prague au début de 2009: les musiciens de l'orchestre Multimodal Brain ont offert une prestation sans jamais toucher à leurs instruments de musique. Uniquement coiffés d'électrodes, ils les dirigeaient par la pensée.

Je ne peux pas résister, a la guitare, c'est aussi beau qu'avec le Rhodes. Elle sait tout faire y compris les pochettes d'album.

Heart of Gold Neil Young
N'oublions pas l'essence de la musique, Neil est de loin l'artiste qui a accompagné toute ma vie avec David Crosby, Stills. Les Birds, Manassas, Joni Mitchell... a réécouter sa version sublime de Woodstock...

Ipad vs Surface
Pour l'avoir essayé, un écran tactile vertical est parfaitement in utile, trop fatiguant de tenir sa main levée pour interagir, la souris est bien plus adaptée, je n'en dirais pas autant des écrans tactiles a plat, les tables ou les tablettes, là ça devient génial...
Nous entrons dans une ere ou le téléviseur vertical d'Antan se transforme en table. C'est hallucinant, personne n'avait imaginé cette évolution simple et logique. Les tables de restaurants, de bars, de boîtes de nuits vont enfin permettre aux âmes seules de ne plus l'être, même si elles sont accoudées au bar en zinc les yeux perdus devant leur verre.
Là ou l'écran vertical va nous halluciner c'est qu'il va évoluer ver le relief, la 3D binauculaire qui, plus tard, deviendra a son tour une table en relief. Alors se poseront des problèmes encore insolubles d'imaginer ce que seront les interfaces dans l'espace 3D binauculaire, même si des films comme Avatar nous montrent la voie...

DUNE SPICE OPERA by EXXOS 1990
Beaucoup d'émotion en revoyant ces images, j'ai vu défiler les visages de mes anciens compagnons de route: Rémi et Danielle Herbulot, Didier bouchon, Johan Robson, Patrick Dublanchet, Michel Rho, Jean Jacques Chaubin, Sohor Ty, Stephane Picq et tout les autres.
Faudrait se faire une bouffe un de ces 4... J'ai quelques épices dans le placard de la cuisine....

En écoutant ce titre : YOU DONT DREAM IN CRYO.
Relation entre Cryo, les Avatars et la musique de James Horner.
Stéphane PICQ aurait pu composer la BO d'Avatar. Nous avions fait la BO de Dune "Spice Opera" (aujourd'hui épuisée) chez Virgin Venture le label de Phil Glass.

Mais ou es tu Stéphane???

Xbox 360 Project NATAL au CES 2011
Though Steve Ballmer's Microsoft keynote conference was a little on the dull side, he did reveal a bit of info sure to please gamers the world over. It's official; Project Natal will be hitting your Xbox 360console by Christmas 2010.
Microsoft hope the motion control add-on will entice new gamers to its popular console, going head-to-head not only with the established Nintendo Wii motion based console but also the soon-to-be-released Sony "magic wand" offering.)

PARROT DRONE : BRAVO HENRI!
Promener son drone en laisse a son Iphone, c'est le top!
Bravo PARROT, je me souviens toujours avec émoi de mon premier parrot, je vais descendre a la cave et l'exhumer des cartons, je vais le mettre sur la cheminée a coté de mon ZX 80...

Sans commentaires...
Pour faire le DVD Henri Salvador "Performance", nous avons enregistré le concert avec un studio semi-remorque ambulant en 128 pistes, puis il a fallu un mois de studio pour tout remettre en ordre et produire le spectacle parfait.
Le live c'est pas évident même pour les plus grands...

BONNE ANNEE 2010
Ce n'est pas de la science fiction, c'est bien le 2010 de nos bouquins de science fiction favoris.
Bien que tout les warnings soient au rouge, je souhaite une écomomie qui ajoute une fonction "HUMANIZE" a ses tableurs, car l'onde de choc de la crise va toucher cette année les plus démunis, ceux qui sont au bas de la pyramide.
Quoi de plus dérisoire et génial qu'un Mxp4 de Pet Shop Boys pour cadencer les articulations de nos avatars dans ce bal qui donne le vertige.
C'est décidé cette année je reprend ma guitare et la route...
(euh! mon Viao X de 600 grammes aussi...)

ProFORMA: Probabilistic Feature-based On-line Rapid Model Acquisition
It works by generating a 3D point cloud from the image coming through the camera and then uses some clever math to both ignore the occasional occlusion of the model by a hand and to work out where the surfaces are. Then things go over my head, involving a process called Delaunay tetrahedralisation to turn the 2D surfaces into a 3D model.
Like I said: clever math. But imagine, for a second, the uses. Forget Nintendo’s Mii avatars, for instance. Instead you could make a 3D version of yourself, or add your favorite household items into a game of Mario Kart. You could quite possibly hook this rig up to a 3D printer and make fast facsimiles of almost anything. And remember, this is all done using a single camera, just like the one that’s probably staring from the top of your laptop screen as you read this. I want to play with this right now.

Retro Musical Droid Arrives... from the Future
If HAL 9000 mated with R2-D2 and their electronic offspring was tutored by Kraftwerk it would probably end up something like the Bliptronic 5000 LED Synthesizer.
At once a minimalist musical plaything and a hardcore old-skool synthesizer, the Bliptronic defies categorization as it belts out 8-Bit style style tunes from its grid of glowing buttons.
You'll notice sound similar to a retro Casiotone with an interface not unlike a simplified Yamaha TENORI-ON... if that makes any sense. Either way, once you start touching the keys of the Bliptronic you'll be hooked by it's simple pattern-based approach to music.Product Features
Unusual retro synthesizer is played with a grid of glowing buttons
Create looping patterns and change them dynamically while playing
Chain multiple units together and create more complex melodies
One octave range. 8 notes can be played simultaneously
8 different old-skool synth sounding instruments to choose from
Sounds created using FM waveform synthesis
Set the BPM (beats per minute) from 60 to 180 in 20 BPM increments
Built in speaker with headphone jack and line-out jack
Front panel is constructed from brushed aluminum
Includes, manual and 2 link cables for connecting additional Bliptronic units
Requires 4 x AA batteries (not included)
A TOY FOR CHRISMAS MAMA!!!!

Emotiv mind-control device shipping December 21 for $299
Wait, you guys are still playing video games with your hands? What, are they baby games? For babies? We've been using Emotiv's EPOC human-computer interface for months now, allowing our cerebellums to play our games for us, completely cutting our appendageal middle men out of the equation. You'll have the same opportunity on December 21, when Emotiv ships limited quantities of the device to customers who decide to pony up for the $299 price tag.
Of course, it doesn't work with all your games. Actually, from what we've seen, it's only capable of making boxes spin around and disappear. What it's really great at, however, is creating super awkward press conferences.

Petit message de soutien a Pierre Sarkosy
Coup de gueule:
A l'heure ou les labels crévent de la crise, le rôle d'un producteur de musique est de défendre son label, ses artistes et les oeuvres qu'il produit et, croyez le, c'est trés compliqué.
Aujourd'hui la toile dégueule sur Pierre Sarkosy et je ne peux m'empécher d'écrire ce billet. Car Pierre est un vrai producteur qui se bat dans l'ombre, au quotidien pour ses artistes. Il fait cela par passion avec les moyens qui sont ceux d'un petit label, rien a voir avec les majors et les paillettes, mais plutot avec les angoisses d'un entrepreneur qui doit fixer des lignes marketing, gérer sa société et trouver une statégie, dans la tourmente que subit l'industrie musicale. Pour avoir échangé, travallié, discuté avec lui, je me dois de lui apporter mon soutien car j'admire sa discrétion et son courage.
Tout les labels courrent aprés les aides, font du lobbing pour survivre. Et il ne s'agit que de sommes trés modestes que tout label se doit d'avoir s'il veut avoir une chance de survivre, on est loin des scandales de la république.
Non je ne deviens pas sarkosyste, mais c'est parce que je veux rester rebelle que je défendrais des amis respectables lorsqu'ils sont injustement trainés dans la boue, "fils de César ou fils de rien" comme disait Brel...

Bien que cette cette video ait fait le tour du web, elle mérite sa place ici.
Elle m'inspire une remarque: aucune analyse sur la crise économique ne mentionne l'impact qu'a la technologie sur cette crise. L'hyper développement de l'économie virtuelle, l'instantanéité des transmissions, les feuilles de calcul qui permettent les projections les plus sophistiquées, l'abolition de l'espace et du temps ont sûrement une part de responsabilité non négligeable sur la déconfiture économique. C'est un peu comme si un chauffeur novice conduisait a fond de train une super Ferrari.
C'est Einstein qui a dit que la technologie avait définitivement dépassé l'humain, c'etait il y a 50 ans...

| Your chance to play Alicia?s Keys! |
It sounds like a joke, but it?s all too real: Native Instruments' next release is an Alicia Keys-endorsed Kontakt piano instrument called, unbelievably, ?Alicia?s Keys?. It appears that the soul diva herself was involved in the recording of the instrument and used it comprehensively on the creation of her new album. Check it out! | |
| What's your favourite DAW? |
While the concept of the ?best? DAW is a hard one to swallow for many (everyone works in different ways, after all), you?ll more than likely have a favourite. And our friends at MusicRadar are on a mission to find the most popular recording app of all? The shortlist is as follows: Ableton Live, Apple GarageBand, Apple Logic, Avid/Digidesign Pro Tools, Cakewalk Sonar, Cockos Incorporated Reaper, Image-Line FL Studio, Magix Samplitude, Propellerhead Reason/Record, Sony Acid, Steinberg Cubase and Steinberg Nuendo. You can click on the above links for full reviews or vote for your favourite DAW here. | |
| Ableton to run production Q&A at Bloc Festival |
The Bloc Festival, taking place at Butlins in Minehead from Friday March 12 to Sunday March 14, already has one of the best line-ups we've seen in years, including Grandmaster Flash, Roots Manuva, Nathan Fake, Flying Lotus, Autechre, Skream, Benga and many, many more. You can check out the full line-up and booking details here: www.blocweekend.com Now, to make things even better, Ableton have announced that they'll be taking over the Fenchurch Dome from 13:00 til 17:00 on Saturday March 13 for a special production session. This will feature Surgeon, who'll be going over his DJ setup, giving a short performance and answering your questions, and Al Tourettes, who will demonstrate how he uses Ableton Suite for production, sound design and remixing. A product expert from Ableton will also be there to give an introduction to music production and performance for beginners.

| Voxengo's drum recording service kicks off at $15 per song |
Would your tracks sound better with a real drummer playing on them? Then Voxengo's new drum recording service will be of great interest to you. Simply send them your song, and they'll have an experienced drummer record a drum track in their recording studio ? they'll then send you the multitrack recording. It's all recorded at 96kHz/24-bit and you get separate WAVs for overhead, side, room, snare drum, bass drum and toms. The service is normally $70 per song, but between now and March 6th 2010, they're doing it for a ridiculous introductory price of just $15. Check it out right here: www.voxengo.com/drumservice | |

Google has, apparently without warning, deleted several high profile music blogs from its Blogger and Blogspot services. According to this report blog owners were only informed after the deletions took place, and some claim that they received terms of use violation notices from their hosts regarding content that had been approved by the record labels involved. |
