Yamaha CEO Pleased With Current Production Of Jet Skis, Alto Saxophones, Snowmobiles, Power Generators, Scooters, Golf Carts
via The Onion:
"HAMAMATSU, JAPAN—Despite concerns over the recent global recession, Yamaha Corporation president Mitsuru Umemura announced last week that he was content with the current level of production of Jet Skis, alto saxophones, snowmobiles, power generators, scooters, and golf carts. "Initially we thought that the declining global market would result in overproduction of synthesizers, PA systems, DVD players, tone generators, and motocross bikes, but in fact our production quotas were almost perfectly attuned to the market in power amplifiers, heart-rate monitors, signal processors, analog mixers, engine oil, microphones, HiFi systems, and grand pianos," said Umemura, who stressed that his company prides itself on attention to detail. "At the Yamaha Corporation we're focused on one thing and one thing alone—quality sound chips, ceiling brackets, editing software, race-kart engines, sport boats, flugelhorns, ATVs, sequencers, outboard motors, conference systems, golf clubs, projectors, MIDI controllers, lamp cartridges, portable recorders, subwoofers, component systems, and motorcycles." The Yamaha Corporation is based in Hamamatsu, Japan."

"I've been captivated by Vasily Kandinsky's artwork and his philosophy of music and art for years. Recently I 'sonified' Kandinsky's Composition VIII from 1923. It is a 90 second journey from left to right through Composition VIII created using UIsoftware's Metasynth 5. Enjoy."

Blue Couch Dog: Realtime Percussion Jam By David Ronenstark aka DR2050
YouTube via dr2050productions
"Live on-the-spot improvisation using timpani, Java drum, and an FM8. Everything is controlled in realtime. I'm using a Zendrum LT, a Novation Zero SL with various pedals, and a plastic white 13" Macbook (with 4GB of RAM). On the software side, it's all Ableton LIve and various Native Instruments plugins, including two Battery 3 instances and two FM8 instances.
I'm trying to show some of the subtlety and breadth of both the Zendrum and the virtual super-instrument that I've created. The ideas fall apart too fast and I think I get into distorted noise a bit too much, but who knows. Anyway, download the adjusted MP3 at http://www.thesixtyone.com/dr2050 (it's Blue Couch Dog)."

It was in dry storage for about 20 years - I have no idea whether the wire looms and the two midi boxes function or not."
