Microsoft har tidligere vist databordet Surface, en skjerm på størrelse med et kafébord som er lagd for interaksjon mellom mennesker. Nå har imidlertid Microsoft demonstrert det nye operativsystemet Windows 7 som innehar de samme multitouchmulighetene som Surface. Apple har allerede lansert en form for multitouch i sin MacBook Air.

And then I realized that this is probably the best new music I have heard in some time. Hear for yourself: Polly Scattergood on [...]
Skwrk for Csound

Skwrk (whatever that means) is a new front end to Csound that seems very promising. It claims to give Csound possibilities of real time rendering and automatic score generation.

Chuck-programmer skrives med tekstlinjer slik man ville skrive et program i [...]

Gaudis La Sagrada Família (fra flickr.com) På nettsidene til UBUWEB fant jeg en fin film om den katalonske arkitekten Antoní Gaudi (1852-1926) lagd av den japanske regissøren Hiroshi Teshigahara. Teshigahara er sikkert ikke kjent for så mange, men hans film “Kvinnen i sanden” (Woman in the Dunes, 1964) kan anbefales, ikke minst på grunn av [...]

Surroundmiksing med JazzMutant Dexter Les anmeldelse av Dexter i Future Music. Eller hos SonicState – se videoen! Nettsiden til JazzMutant. Dexter er jo uten tvil en heftig kontroller, men prisen på 2700EUR er ganske høy.
