Woop Woop Woop!

Maybe I’ll start making some useful pages on this site.

But… probably not. Anyways, last night I hooked up my AVR programming with daughterboard and got it working with my mac. Now I just need to learn the API and ins and outs of avr programming, and maybe get something working. I wonder if candella will be interested in whatever I create ( I hope so, and I think they will.. there weren’t many or any microcontrolled projects there last year).

Electrovillain is recording slowly. I’m a bit scared because we have about 20 days till our next show, and then 3 shows in a row essentially.

working on mixtape (brap! brap! 2007)

featuring artists you’d expect like smd, thunderheist, dj mehdi, etc..

but features a lot of re-works by yours truly as well as some hidden gems.

Still don’t have working youtube embedding >:-|

Ottawa Slide 2007 Compilation

Thanks Adam, awesome intro btw.

What the hell ever happened to From Fiction? Awesome EP, awesome live show, amazingly talented musicians. They break up immediately AFTER recording an album with Steve Albini?

The best summary I could find was in the Exclaim.ca article.

their now defunct myspace, still has mp3s to stream.

Youtube video - I asked what happened, no one really knows much.

I’m about to win the OMGWTF contest (trust me. Can your entry also be a text editor or a game like drugwars without recompiling? Mine can.)

electrovillain finally finished our first track, a cover of an awesome song by die mannequin.

There’s nothing to show for it but I’ve been buying up parts and am almost ready to start designing my first kit board for my new custom synth/music shop customnoise.com. Busy P already has a synth I built :D, from when Desi and I went to Coachella.

How do you do this?

Take any image, scale it down to around 1 pixel per inch of canvas (ie in this case 18×18 pixels for an 18″x18″ canvas).  Stick pins every inch around the perimeter of the canvas and run thread or something similiar around them creating a fence for every 1inch by 1inch block.  Then just fill in the blanks.  You may need to touch it up after removing the thread - thinner thread will be less of a fence but require less touching up.  YMMV.

The audio on this video was done without compression or FX. I now put the TR505 through 3 Akai ModFX units (compressor, flanger, and the almighty bitrman, in that order) and it sounds a whole lot better - examples to come!

Inside the hello kiddy candy tin is an Atari Punk Console wired to a 3″ speaker. For control I changed the potentiometers with two 500k light-sensitive photoresistors.
