MouseDeck

On March 31, 2010, in Project, Synthesizer, Theremin, by djmojodojo

For the past few months I have had a number of people asking me if and when I plan on releasing the code to my AirDeck project. This is something I have been thinking about, but I have a number of concerns. I am not intending to make any money off this project (not even sure if I could), but I know that I would not someone else to run with the code and make money off of it either. Also, because I am using several APIs that were developed by other people, I am not sure what the licensing issues are. So, I am still deciding on how to proceed.

In the meantime, however, I have decided to post an early iteration of this project in applet form. This is a mouse based version, not using the Wii remote, as this is how I initially began coding and testing the project. I will be the first to admit this is somewhat buggy. I am also interested in seeing how this runs as a client applet on other machines over the internet. This is using a beta version of the JSYN api that is supposed to work without any plugin software. It works fine on my machine, but please leave me a note in the comments describing any issues you may encounter. Thanks and enjoy!

Also, this is a java applet, so java must be installed on your machine. Here is a link to the applet page:

Cool A Capella Version of Toto’s Africa

On March 29, 2010, in Music, covers, by djmojodojo

This is a very nice a capella cover of Toto’s Africa performed by Perpetuum Jazzile. The sound effects are very well done, with rain and thunder replicated by finger snaps and foot stomps. Also, cool beat box work in the background.

Here is some video a friend of mine turned me on to featuring C2C competing in the team DJ showcase at the DMC championship in 2005. An amazing performance!

Nice homage to Reservoir Dogs done in the same manner as Kutiman,(which I highly recommend you check out)… meaning the video on the screen is actually the source of the sounds in the music. This one was done by a fella named knoertz. He also does a Pulp Fiction version.

This guy coded a custom app for the iPhone that allows him to control all of the various parameters on his Juno 2 from it.
