Nodal

"Nodal is a generative software application for composing music. It uses a novel method for the notation and playing of MIDI based music. This method is based around the concept of a user-defined graph. The graph consists of nodes (musical events) and edges (connections between events). You interactively define the graph, which is then traversed by any number of players who play the musical events as they encounter them on the graph. The time taken to travel from one node to another is based on the length of the edges that connect the nodes.

Nodal is free software available for Mac OS X based computers.

Working with Nodal

Nodal does not make any sound by itself – it only generates MIDI data. You will need a MIDI synthesiser to hear the output that Nodal is making. Nodal is compatible with any MIDI synthesiser. For simple demonstrations we recommend SimpleSynth.
Nodal will also work with Apple's GarageBand software."

littleBits intro from ayah bdeir on Vimeo.
"littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers."

"x0xb0x with custom x0xi0 mod. The unit is brand new, built specifically to sell on Ebay. The kit is professionally built, tested and calibrated. I am the guy who makes and sells the x0xi0 kits. This kit is serial #006. There are currently 50 kits that have been sold. I have taken several hi-res pictures during the assembly of this box to demonstrate the build quality. I have also added a video clip and a few audio samples to demonstrate that the box works perfectly and sounds great.

Moog Minimoog fart around - basslines and stuff

YouTube via CoolColJ
"Just mucking about on my Moog Minimoog analog mono-synth. One of the many old and newer analog synths I have lying around here

This Minimoog is one of the earlier models. Key contacts need cleaning...hence the swooping notes

sorry about the crap audio - the camera's mic doesn't capture bass very well, and the Minimoog has a ton of bass :)

Should have recorded a direct feed... "
