--------------------------------------


I am utterly fascinated by the sound design work Audi has been doing in the last years. It's  not surprising that Audi's acoustics department is involved in the development of a new model, but what's so great is they had a spin to their "usual" job this time with the new Audi e-tron models, were they won't rely on the actual sound from the engine and later on attenuate or accentuate desired frequencies; they are actually designing the sound for the engine.

"In a series-production Audi, a combustion engine currently supplies the music. Conversely, the motor in an electric-powered e-tron is not an option, as it is too quiet and its high frequencies are not exactly melodious. Audi’s e-tron models will therefore feature a synthetic sound signature. Rudolf Halbmeir teamed up with his colleagues Axel Brombach and Dr. Lars Hinrichsen to create it."

MNCVE + SKETCHSYNTH + de/RASTRA


Greeaat track from MnCve where he employs those organic textures which I enjoy so much.


Drawing your own control surface.
Imagine the possibilities of a control surface that you draw to top up your necessities, SketchSytnth allows you to draw your control surface with a piece of paper and a marker and sends OSC (open sound control) messages to a synthesizer (it could be another software though, as long as it supports OSC). Billy Keyes created this as a final project for his Interactive Art and Computational Design course at Carnegie Mellon University, and it just amazed me to see how one can interact between digital and non-digital surfaces.

de/RASTRA
Kyle Evans came up with a really cool instrument called "de/Rastra".
Basically, the de/Rastra is and audio+video instrument which generates imagery and the acoustic equivalence of it in real time, but I won't write too much about it as I think there is a great load of information about it HERE.

CHANCE UPON





























I went to Zona 1 last night, the place you see in the pictures is called NOA ( not sure if its written as N.O.A); cool night, I chanced upon MnCve, a really nice guy, cool friend and musician. This is one of his current projects.

MESSAGE. MOZ LIVE at UFM












































This week(s) won't have much audio updates, I am just getting started with my blogs (spoonz blog, spoonz music, and another one on its way) so I am dedicating much of my time to it.

Last saturday MOZ had its very first live presentation. It was a great feeling, it gave some sense about were  this project is at the moment, and since it is practically just starting to lift off the ground, it felt good to know we had a good time on the stage, even though we got "kicked out" for running out of time-we had 30 mins to play, but we never actually evaluated how long was our set list!.

COUCH SURFING!

Just about 4 days ago, a friend of mine told me about this site called www.couchsurfing.com, where you meet people from the site's community (yes, this means you will need to create a profile, but you can login with facebook and its quick) who offer you a "couch" to stay-in, in case you were traveling to their location.  This of course depends from user to user, but there is a huge amount of people in this site, and many are willing to give you a place to stay.  I will probably travel to Hamburg, Germany this summer so I will see if I get to know a cool user who is willing to show me the place around and give me a place to stay. I'll post later on about this to let you know about the progress in finding a host.

Albert Einstein is quoted to have said “It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.”

This video is our attempt at creating a graphical representation of the mathematization of motion, showing only a small amount of the different formulas used to define the chaos within our universe.
