Master Hands: DJ with Hands + Fingers

The Master Hands is a DJ system that uses sensors to track hand and finger motions and translates the movements into sound. You can program your own sounds and songs to specific hand movements.

Has anyone tried these gloves on yet?

White Space

White Space from Ash Cross.

White Space is interactive media project by Ash Cross for his Experience Design 221 class at the Victoria University of Wellington School of Design in New Zealand.

The installation uses Max/MSP to generate and manipulate white noise controlled by a red and blue ball, whose coordinates are being tracked. The movement and position of the balls change the sound produced through filtering.

Atari Teenage Riot: ACTIVATE! in LA

The Atari Teenage Riot concert at Key Club in LA on 9/30/10 was great!



Here's video I shot of ACTIVATE! before my iPhone got punched in the mosh pit, launching it up in the air before it landed in the mosh pit.

The LA show was intense! Alec Empire and the ATR crew had tons of explosive energy, and CX KiDTRONiK rocks in the new 2010 lineup!

I had been waiting over 10 years to see Atari Teenage Riot. My friend and I had tickets to see them in Munich and Berlin back in 1999 but unbelievably missed both shows because we were late! I've been kicking myself ever since.

Skinwalker opened with Minimoog Voyager, Moog Taurus pedals and drums.

All Leather's guitar pedal board.

Thanks to @psyoptikon and @markmilian for helping me recover my phone with only minor battle scars!
