Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost was played on Radio in London on a show called “One Life Left”. Here is a short blurb about the radio station :

“Commissioned by London’s award-winning Resonance 104.4 FM in early 2006, One Life Left was only meant to run for six episodes. Take that, The Man because now, somewhere over seventy-five episodes later, it’s in its Sixth season and grown from humbling, terrified, fumbling beginnings into one of the station’s most valued shows. Take THAT, The Man. Also take that, British radio standards.”

You can download the Podcast here and it’s also on the itunes here it is s06e02 and I’m about 17mins into the cast but it is worth a listen to the whole thing. I’m so glad shows like this are around. It is a very exciting time! Thank you One Life Left!

Do you know that the release of 7bit Hero is going to happen soon?

A Blessing

Justin Says “Lightwell can best be thought of as “pong meets rock band”, as it is a multiplayer rhythm game that gives each player a different track of the song. Players play the song by moving shuttles around the outside of the central ring and reflecting lighted blips back to the center. So long as a player continues to successfully reflect these blips, the track continues to play. This was the final project for my multitouch computing class.”

Here are some more remixes that have completely blown me away. They are for “In Tomorrow” and “It’s so Light”. Thank you so much Sefiros for taking your valuable time and creating something that enhances the emotions of the tracks. He takes familiar phrases and vocals from the tracks and creates something that is between a ambient sound scape and something pop. It really is a perfect meld of our 2 styles.

After messing around with it briefly at work, I got all excited about it. So I spent my 4 days off playing with my recent Christmas purchase (thanks Danielle!) of box#2 and my new-found, audio-driven animation. If enough people like it, I might even consider doing up some tutorials on how it was put together. One thing I did realize is, I miss my power machines at work.

But here are some lowres viewport previews of the tests. Some of it might make it into the final. If you don’t know what a “viewport preview” is then prepared to be underwhelmed. It basically is what I see in the program. The prettiness happens later on, and it is what most people are used to seeing. Also note that below is some pretty intense geek talk.

Audio generated Animation 01

Particle face creator (PFC) is the inspiration for this whole piece. PFC is like a live boolen with a bit of a blobby mesh thresh hold to boot. It allows you to cut particle simulations into geometry. So After messing around with Box#2 I layered 50+ spheres. Placed particles through it all and gave them the PFC treatment. Ta da.

Audio generated Animation 02

This is simply seeing if the system works with the real song section I want to use. I also turned the gravity off and started lighting the scene. I wanted the scene to have all natural lights, so they all use the kelvin temps.

Audio generated Animation 03

After watching it all through, I really wanted the “GO” parts to explode, so I decided to rip up the floor using particles and the Particle Skinner. In this preview the flickers are due to shadows and polygons being to close together for the viewport to understand. The floor rip is also very chunky, which it won’t be as much in the final. Needless to say, I should have something early next week that is the final product. It is just going to be a snippet for the song “The Commotion”, but I might write a lead-in and lead-out for it. Stick around for the finished project.

Hope you enjoy these little teasers. This is the year of visual art and design for hunz while I work on my studio album. There will be plenty more on its way.
