Beautiful Motion Graphics Created With Programming: Showcase, Tools and Tutorials – Smashing Magazine

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The examples in this article are very audio-visulization heavy, but the following breakdowns of technologies are good and thorough, and provide a good introduction to what I’m babbling about late at night on twitter.

Check out this super stylish Japanese synth and OSC controller for the iPhone. I’ve been playing with it this week, and I like it a lot.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema – Herzog’s MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Yay, “My Son, My Son…” is getting an Austin run at the Drafthouse Ritz:

Ostriches, matricide and unhinged lunacy abound in this cop-procedural follow up to Mr. Herzog’s still-in-theaters masterpiece BAD LIEUTENANT. This time, Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon fills Nic Cage’s crazy shoes and the whole thing’s actually based on a true story. A young man drives a sword though his mother, killing her, then holes up with a couple of hostages while detective Willem Defoe pieces together the decent into madness from stories by the killer’s girlfriend (Chloe Sevigny) and the always menacing Udo Kier. That’s as much as we want to say right now…

…just so we can better enjoy the looks on your faces when you walk out of the theater. Don’t miss this one.

OSCulator is rad.

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

I think I’ve written about it before, but I just want to reiterate that OSCulator is a fucking awesome piece of software and everyone who makes music that involves Macs should buy it. I’ve been fighting since last night trying to get osc from ableton live (which doesn’t speak OSC unless you get a $300 add-on and have programming experience) and out to another computer which is running VDMX, the software I use for live visuals. I remembered I had OSCulator, which is widely used for turning data from weird devices like Wii Remotes, phones, and guitar hero controllers into midi that you can use with music software. It’s free (reccomended donation of at least $19 dollars to remove the shareware nags) and it totally solved my problem. Now three computers are talking to one another over their shared wi-fi connection, midi data from ableton is now triggering video clips in VDMX on two machines.

Here’s how to do it.

Robert Hodgin | Portfolio

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Robert Hodgin (Flight404) has a new personal site up, now that he has gone solo from Barbarian Group. Robert is visualist and interaction designer who makes a lot of truly amazing stuff with the free graphics programming language processing (And something new I am not familiar with called Cinder)

This stuff is really amazing to look at even if you have no idea what I am talking about.

JanusNode

Monday, January 11th, 2010

I helped hound the creator of JanusNode (A cool text generator and analyzer for the Mac) into making the program available again.

JanusNode is an automated text-generator and text-morpher. It can create original texts using a rule-based system or can morph your texts using Markov chaining and various other techniques. It has been described (albeit generously) as ‘Photoshop for text’.

JanusNode is the direct descendent of an old program called McPoet that I started writing in the mid-80s. Although I have not definitively ceased work on JanusNode (indeed, I always hope to get back to it) the program has not been substantially updated since about 2004. I hope to be doing a small amount of work on it in the first few months of 2010, at least to release an Intel-specific OSX version.
