Guitar Oscillations Captured with iPhone 4
YouTube Uploaded by justkylevids on Jul 11, 2011
Not a synth but thought it was interesting from a natural oscilloscope sort of perspective.
"I just happened upon this trick when testing what it was like filming from inside my guitar. *Note this effect is due to the rolling shutter, which is non-representative of how strings actually vibrate.
Tips:
• You must have the strings brightly backlit to get the camera to capture at such a high frame rate (pure conjecture). You can see how the effect fades when the buildings come into view.
• Use a pencil
*This was used with the front facing camera, try the back camera, it may capture better!
There is a heated discussion with *real science* over at reddit

"Fourth part of the concert and poetry reading given at "L'Atelier de la Margeride", the first July 2011."
"Here is short piece improvised on Virus TI and Blofeld the first of july during a concert and poetry reading concert I gave in open air in Nîmes, at the "Atelier de la Margeride", the workshop of Robert Lobet, painter, sculptor and publisher with whom I published several books of poetry." Korg MicroSampler used as controller for the Blofeld.

"4 tracks recorded with only a Moog Little Phatty Stage II
Only Moog sound."

"Sound: First try Moog Little Phatty arpeggiator sync with Cubase.
Visual: A point of view of the Grand Canyon National Park Arizona.
Please take a look at the response-video by my good friend Synthypnosis"
"Moog Little Phatty arpeggiator and Novation X Station arp.
I recorded two tracks with Moog Little Phatty, the first track arpeggiator.
The second track of sound that seems to hammer down the drum."
ELECTRIC TEA 2.0 @ Urbanscapes Festival 2010
ELECTRIC TEA 2.0 @ Urbanscapes Festival 2010 from Ion Ray on Vimeo.
"Electric Tea 2.0 is the second in a series of works that put sound where it doesn't belong.
This table was an installation at the 2010 Urbanscapes Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The sounds in the water come from 8 MP3 players playing synced sounds that looped every 5 minutes. Left and right channels each played different sounds yielding 16 individual sounds to play with.
The 4 orbs are connected to the speaker in the middle of the table. When a person holds an orb and touches the water at the same time, the sound passes through their body and into the speaker. Multiple notes can be played by touching more than one cup.

Update: You might remember Electric Tea 1.0 from 2010
Network SID Device
YouTube Uploaded by markusgritsch on Jul 14, 2011
"Hi,
I wrote an alternative firmware for my HybridSID device: It can now act as a 'Network SID Device' and can be used as the sound output device for 'ACID 64' [1] and 'GoatTracker' [2].
I also implemented a small "dual boot" firmware which runs at power-on and which allows selecting the desired use case by pressing the left or right button: Pressing the left button starts in the stand-alone 'HybridSID' mode, pressing the right button starts the 'Network SID Device' mode where the device receives the register values for the SID chip from the application running on a PC.
Beside the disadvantage of not being stand-alone, the 'Network SID Device' mode has several benefits:
* Newer tunes containing samples are only released in RSID format which the TinySID library used in stand-alone mode cannot play. ACID 64 plays them nicely.
* ACID 64 sends the cycle information together with the register values, so it is possible to write the registers of the chip at the precise time. The new firmware is cycle exact.
* Easier tune selection due to the larger PC screen and richer GUI program. Also the STIL information can be viewed.
* ACID 64 has a nice song position slider to jump to an arbitrary time-position in the tune.
ACID 64 sends the data to a socket connection on port 6581. Traditionally, there is 'Java SIDplay2' listening on this port, so ACID 64 can be used to drive this sophisticated SID emulator.
To get ACID 64 talking to my device, I wrote a small socket server in Python which handles the socket communication with ACID 64, and writes the received cycle info and register values to my device. This is done through an emulated serial port which the 'Network SID Device' firmware provides via a CDC/ACM USB device class.
Please find the source code attached to this post.
Enjoy,
Markus
