... ? Jason Salavon - (via Abstract Dynamics - smooth stuff, abe..)Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon generates and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied, his projects frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in various populations. This often unearths unexpected pattern as the relationship between the part and the whole, the individual and the group, is explored. Reflecting a natural attraction to popular culture and the day-to-day, his work regularly incorporates the use of common references and source data. The final compositions are exhibited as art objects, such as photographic prints and video installations, while others exist in a real-time software context.

... ? THE BRAIN - COWBOY UP! - "Richard Devine, 'Asect:Dsect'If you haven't heard any of Richard Devine's recorded output up to now, this album is a great place to jump on. Devine has always pushed the envelope of what his tools can do, and with Asect:Dsect we are treated to a version of Devine as mad tinkerer that remains interesting on successive listens the way that some other DSP records do not. Devine's previous outings Lipswitch and Aleamapper visited the extremes of his take on music. The former was a million-mile an hour beat and squiggle fest that was notably absent of a center reference point; a soundtrack for ADD if ever there was one. By contrast, the latter was an exercise in micro-detail exploding out into vast expanses of reverb that demonstrated that there was more to the reigning king of DSP than wonky beats and 128th note programming. With Asect:Dsect, Devine has managed to bring the best elements of those previous records together in a way that is both more accessible and more carefully exploratory at the same time.

He was a rangy, whimsical, articulate guy, prone to fidgetiness and discomfiture, and if you asked him anything about his work, you'd get a way too detailed answer. But these garrulous explanations always came with a crooked smile and an expectant look that seemed to say, 'I know this is strange, but it's all true.'
... ? museum of techno | Soame collectionThe son of wealthy land-owners, James Soame worked as an architect and engineer, designing buildings and transport systems for the burgeoning colonies of the 19th century British empire. Soame was also a keen collector. Amongst other things, he sent many exotic plant and animal specimens to the young Charles Darwin, and James is mentioned several times in the notebooks from which Darwin was to write Origin of Species. But it is for his collection of hard-assed techno kickdrums that Soame is best remembered: they rock the fucking hut.
... ?The Sinister Beauty of Global Conspiracies
Mr. Hobbs first encountered Lombardi's work through a review in Art in America magazine in June 1999. Immediately, he was impressed by its sheer beauty, by the delicacy of the curving lines, delineating abstract force fields created by the global movement of money. He describes the works variously as webs, rhizomes and constellations. "It was a mental and visual seduction," he said. Mr. Hobbs was also intrigued that the drawings showed only a sliver of a larger, inaccessible reality. "The drawings exist," he said, "between what is known — the people, the organizations, the court judgments — and the unknown, which is what is between them. In that sense, they are about the difference between the ideal and the real."

Alchemists of Sound looks at this creative group from its inception, through its golden age when it was supplying music and effects for cult classics like Doctor Who, Blake's Seven and Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and charts its fading away in 1995 when, due to budget cuts, it was no longer able to survive. There are interviews with composers from the Workshop, as well as musicians and writers who have been inspired by the output. Great archive footage of the Workshop and its machinery is accompanied by excerpts of the, now cult, TV programmes that featured these sounds.

When I finally managed to find them online, they were either low quality, noisy, full of vinyl crackle, processed too much, compressed in mp3 format or incomplete. I wanted them in their original state, so that I was sure some amateur hadn't carelessly used effects on it and changed it in any way. I decided to start buying cds which had the songs with the breaks on them. This way I could sample directly from the source without worrying about vinyl crackle and other problems. On this site you will find full breaks taken from the original songs which I have bought on cd, breaks which I have taken from sample cds, production tutorials (coming soon) and other clean* samples from the original songs on cd.

Mixing realism and abstraction, Bacon delves deep beneath the surfaces of things, opening up the human body to reveal the chaos that lies within and struggling with all that is inexplicable. Erotic and grotesquely beautiful is the work of this legendary painter whose haunting, distorted figures have inspired entire generations of painters who seek to emulate his highly original style.

... ? Wired 11.11: It's Wake-Up TimeOver the years, the search for perfect tranquilizers has led down byways of addiction and overdose. In the 1970s, barbiturates, which are particularly dangerous, were replaced by benzodiazepines like Librium and Valium. But so-called BZDs became known for their side effects: memory loss, rebound insomnia, dependence, withdrawal, and sometimes seizures, paranoia, and depression. Today's leading insomnia medication, Ambien (zolpidem), isn't technically a BZD, but it works on the same neural pathway, suppressing activity across the brain. At the Associated Professional Sleep Societies Convention, the major annual sleep conference held in Chicago last June, researchers showcased several 'novel non-BZD' hypnotics. But most of them attack an already familiar stronghold, the GABA receptors, and are all but certain to be listed as scheduled narcotics. Since the GABA receptor pathways are everywhere in the brain, Edgar explains, the new non-benzo drugs still tend to dim the lights across the entire central nervous system.

... ? The Page Design GenieRather than replacing the graphic artist, Xerox's software is designed to function like a page layout genie that looks over the shoulder of the person creating a document, whether the person is an artist or a graphically-challenged office worker. The automated document-layout software starts with raw content such as text, graphics, headlines, and diagrams, then arranges them in accordance with sound design principles until the software comes up with pages that look good. If the user adds more elements—more text, graphics, or pictures—the software automatically redesigns the pages. Genetic algorithms in the software pick the best design, and Xerox's programmers built the algorithms to follow the example nature sets in the way it picks the best genes. That is, the application examines many "species," eliminating those that aren't good enough and allowing the most fit to survive. Once provided with the elements of a document, the software can present the viewer many iterative examples of how they all might be put together. Users can provide rules that must be observed in producing the iterative page layouts—preservation of logo colors, restrictions on the amount of page overmatter, and more.

... ? LOUNGE72 - Visual amusement - Joshua Davis/Praystation InterviewAsking questions is healthy. It enables us to clarify doubts and gain new information. Life should be more about holding questions than finding answers. The act of seeking an answer, comes from a wish to make life, which is basically fluid - into something more certain and fixed. This often leads to rigidity, closed-mindedness, and intolerance. On the other hand, holding a question - exploring its many facets over time - puts us in touch with the mystery of life. Holding questions accustoms us to the ungraspable nature of life and enables us to understand things from a range of perspectives. quote : Thubten Chodron - on Buddhism. I guess my motto would be as Ms. Chodron suggests... to always question, not be so complete, and accept change.
