Admin: And It's Happening Again

"The new Dirty Boy Pedals Buzzy Boy not only sounds amazing with guitar but it kicks butt with synths too! The three position voicing switch, bottom right, allows you to accentuate the perfect frequency range for your needs. The knobs are totally interactive, giving you a wide variety of fizzy and fuzzy sounds. Buzzy. Mmmm. The Moog Little Phatty is sequenced by the Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 MkII which also supplies the beats."

Mini Moog for sale on Ebay
YouTube via lucio788. The auction link or number is not in the video description, so here's a search for Minimoog on Ebay. This post is interesting in that it shows the Mini's raw sound at a very base level. It gives you a sense of a starting point that you can compare to all other mini demos you've heard. This is why these posts go up along with the more "musical." For me it's about the sound and what you can do with it. Every synth brings something to the table. With that in mind here's another video from the same poster:

"Ableton Live looped cover of Something About Us by Daft Punk, performed on Nintendo DS Ubisoft Jam Sessions, Midi controlled software electric bass, drums, synth, vocoded vocals, and solo theremin, recorded in a single pass, with a single camera.
Produced and Performed by Randy George
Filmed by Nicolas Bates
Visit Randy George's official site:

Visit Randy George's Youtube Channel and watch the classical theremin music videos, where the true dynamic and expressive nature of the instrument shines.
http://www.youtube.com/ooo6
Also, search on Youtube for "Clara Rockmore" to see the greatest theremin player that ever lived.
The theremin is an electronic musical instrument that is played completely without physical contact. It was invented in 1919 by a Russian physicist named Lev Sergeyevich Termen. If you are new to the theremin, please learn about it. The wikipedia page is a good place to begin:
http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin
About the helmet:
It was made of papier-mâché with a custom LED visor built in ... post production! using Softimage XSI and Adobe After Effects! Yes, it was a visual effect! 3D modeling, manual rotoscoping, and motion tracking/motion stabilization tricks were employed to pull this off. A LED array with animated text was projected on to a manually rotoscoped 3D visor, that was subsequently composited with the original footage using motion trackers in After Effects. The helmet itself took three days to make. I used 7 layers of card stock/normal stock paper strips in a special heavy mix paste recipe. The shape was built around a custom mold of shipping foam and gaffers tape. It was finished off with gunmetal grey paint. The visor was made of plastic cut from a microwave oven splash cover I found at Target for 5 dollars, laminated on both sides with Limo dark auto window tinting. I could see out, but the translucent plastic from the microwave splash cover along with the heavy tinting made it a little bit difficult. On the inside, the helmet was padded with custom cut felt blocks to fit my head size perfectly. The total weight was around 0.5 Kg (about 1 pound).
This video was made for love. Please share it."

Admin: You Might Have Missed Some Posts
Just a heads up that you might have missed a number of posts yesterday, 9/18. All of the timestamps for posts were stuck at 9:59 AM yesterday. This is a problem with Blogger and does not appear to be affecting all blogs. I checked the Blogger help group and others are seeing the same problem.
Why might you have missed some posts? I have the number of posts set to ten per page. When you get to the bottom of the page you click Older Posts to get to the next ten and so on. Well, because of the timestamp issue, when you clicked Older Posts the resulting page did not bring up the next ten posts but instead jumped to posts for 9/17. Posts after the 10th latest post for 9/18 were getting dropped.
To fix this, I went back and manually updated every single post yesterday with a new timestamp that kept the order in which they went up. The Older Posts link now works as expected. If you want to be sure you did not miss anything, I'd go back and review all posts dated 9/18/2008.
