HAARP - High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Alaska

Title link takes you to a post GetLoFi put up on HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Alaska. There is a link to an Art Bell show that has audio from HAARP and Art Bell's commentary. It's amuzing hearing Art Bell get worked up on what he's hearing. Well worth checking out. It sounds like an analog synth to me. Whenever I hear that ringing in my ears, I usually think, "Looks like I'm getting reprogrammed again!" Now I'll be thinking, "There goes HAARP again!"

Don't get too excited. I beleive this is still only a prototype. I remember seeing this a while back on Gizmodo and Engadget. Title link takes you to a bit on it on Sonic State. I just rediscovered it via this VSE post. The following is a link to a video of it. Pretty cool. http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/IL/projects/blockjam/downloads/BlockJam_0.mov.



Via Sonic State:
"Block Jam is a musical interface controlled by the arrangement of 25 tangible blocks. By arranging the blocks musical phrases and sequences are created, allowing multiple users to play and collaborate. The system takes advantage of both graphical and tangible user interfaces. Each block has a visual display and a combination of a gestural input and a click-able input. Each Block metaphorically contains a sound group that can be chosen via the gestural input, the click-able input changes a block functionally. Thus, musically complex and engaging configurations can be rapidly assembled. The tangible nature of the blocks and the intuitive interface promotes face-to-face collaboration, and the presence of the GUI allows for remote collaboration across a network.

By creating both a tangible and a visual language, we are able to create endless meaningful musical structures in a novel and intuitive way that predisposes itself to collaboration and exploration, face to face or via a network, pushing interactive music towards the casual user."

Terratec Komplexer = Waldorf Micro Q?

Interesting. Komplexer loads Waldorf Micro Q patches. Terratec and Waldorf partnered before Waldorf went out of business, so this makes sense. Via Moogulator (sequencer.de) on this post of Sonic State's the-gas-station. Title link takes you details on KVR.



"Komplexer has eight macro controllers onboard and features three oscillators, two multi-mode filters, four ADSDSR envelopes, three LFOs, and includes the ability to import Waldorf microQ sounds."
