Key Frame Animation & Synthesis from 1971

YouTube Uploaded by wasbuxton on Aug 7, 2011

"This is a digital dub of a 7 minute, 45 second 16 mm film produced in 1971 by the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. It demonstrates not only one of the first ineractve computer systems for animation, one used for production, it was also an outstanding example of early user-centred design.

The system was developed by Marceli Wein and Nestor Burtnyk, both of whom won Academy Awards for this influential work. For some additional information, see also:

Burtnyk, N. & M. Wein, M. 1976. Interactive Skeleton Techniques for Enhancing Motion Dynamics in Key Frame Animation, Communications of the ACM, 19(10), 564-584 ."

Via the film starting at 6:45: "Music in this film was produced on the same interactive computer facility with the aide of a music package being developed at the same time."

The Droner for iPad

"Welcome to The Droner, experimental noise & drone station for iPad. On the left, you can see the routing schematics of the synthesizer. Be careful, you don’t have a classic or a regular machine in your hands. Indeed, it can produces very unique and strange sounds textures and you have to learn to handle it.

You have to use it with earphones or to use a line input on your sound-system in order to render the best results.

You can record while playing with it. The PCM file will be saved in the document folder of The Droner application on your iPad. You use iTunes to manage the files in this folder to backup them on your computer, or remove them."

Electronotes Synthesizer Circuits on Make Magazine

via Make Magazine

"Electronotes is a newsletter on electronic music synthesis that was started in 1972 by Cornell EE professor Bernie Hutchins. It’s a great source for electronic music schematics and circuit ideas. Early contributors to the newsletter were people like Robert Moog and Don Buchla, and a lot of interesting modular synthesizers like the Elby Designs ASM2 are based on circuits originally published in the newsletter. It’s an ongoing concern, with all new issues available for free on the Electronotes site..."
