Admin: Note on YouTube Vids

Not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but I'm noticing that once I start a video, if I do not move my mouse it stops loading and once the video reaches the last part loaded it hangs until I move my mouse again - you can see the little grey load progress bar stop and start based on your mouse movement. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else was seeing the same.

How we get girls (To leave the room)

"Surachai and Justin, masters at getting girls....to leave."
Thought this was pretty funny.
Update via jm in the comments: "Surachai is rocking an 808 (On the left, it's not an MS2000), I am rocking gmedia's oddity soft synth."

"A tangible rhythm sequencer. Ball bearings are used to trigger drum sounds. Visual feedback is displayed from underneath to indicate the current time and the state of each ball bearing."

Beatbearing

"First working prototype of the BeatBearing sequencer system. When a ball is placed in an indent a sound loop is triggered. The body of the device is fashioned from clay and wire, and the software is written in Processing and MaxMSP."

KORG Z1

images via this auction

"This is a stunning example of a wonderful physical modeling synthesizer that originally came out in 1997. Unlike some others you might find for sale, this particular unit contains the additional 6 voice polyphony expansion board (an expensive option). The Korg Z1 has a great, fat sound. It's very expressive, with a lot of control capabilities (including a very nice arpeggiator). Construction is VERY solid (i.e. this is not a light, flimsy piece of equipment like some products on the market)."
