Infinite Entropy

I was kind of surprised to find this video the other day. Of course i have been dreaming about a multi-screen setup for my pc since i can click a mouse button, but i always hesitated to actually buy myself the equipment. To be honest, it is just kind of expensive to buy more than one up-to-date graphics card, not to mention a second computer. The monitors itself are not a problem anymore since the 24″ are getting kind of cheap. Now i didnt know about the feature this guy in the video is presenting. Xbox 360 seems to have the ability to connect up to 5 consoles and have the same game running and being displayed on 5 screens. Now that scheds a completely new light on my opinion on gaming with a console. Especially since those are not that expensive…

After Elephants Dream now this is another amazing short-film made using the open source tool blender, funded by the Blender Foundation. Production started last yeear in may and it has been released on 27. September this year at the Netherlands Film Festival (30. September online). I dont want to talk about the level of detail, the story or anything because just the fact that i post it should tell you that i love it – i think its worth to watch the 15mins just for yourself.

This is just amazing!! Observe the work from the research of the sample sources, cutting, mixing, adding effects up to the mastering of what prodigy probably has been doing when making ‘Smack My Bitch Up’. All re-made and filmed by Jim Pavloff using Ableton.

Makes me want to create some music again. Awww…

By accident i came across a blog where this girl describes her recipes that she used to cook while being sleep-walking on ambien medication. Interesting and even fun to read (no matter if its true or not): http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/cooking-on-ambien-1-stone-fruit-kiwi-skyr-pie

Thiago Costa (Lead Technical Director at Ubisoft Digital Arts) released a teaser on his blog about his latest project: The Lagoa Multiphysics Engine 1.0 – and i really hope this is what gaming will look like pretty soon too! There are also a few other projects on his blog that are worth having a peek at… for example if you did not have a chance to see Assassin’s Creed Lineage yet – a short movie about the story just before the beginning of Assassin’s Creed 2 – you should definitely have a look.

Since I got my hands on my own computer for the first time (Atari 1040STF in 1986) i was fascinated by the fact that you are able to get sounds out of it. Unfortunately, this hobby fell asleep a couple of years ago. However, I am still coming back to those roots as a Home-DJ once in a while and whether i mix some vinyls or mp3s, i publish those mixes usually on some internet radio station, on Facebook or just sending them to friends so they have something to listen to while being at work.

Now i collected the most popular mixes i have done in the past few years on this blog. You are able to listen to or download them in the new Music section and I really hope you will have some constructive criticism.

P.S.: I remembered that put this blog up and running already one year ago and nearly never posted anything – this is going to change hopefully and why not start by putting some new mixes…
