Blip Festival New York 2011

"Those who were present at the 2007 Blip Festival (and those who drooled over the subsequent YouTube videos) can attest to the event's unique energy and atmosphere, owing in no small part to that edition's appropriately Spartan-yet-techy environment.

So we're pleased to announce that this year, Blip Festival New York returns to Manhattan art space Eyebeam, from May 19th through May 21st, for three consecutive days of music, motion graphics, workshops & presentations, and unconventional devices doing unconventional things.

Renes_Curious_Village

YouTube via ISOTROPOSPHERE | January 31, 2011 |

"Using the Make Noise Rene as a traditional sequencer, outs to Tip Top audio Z3000 Mk I and II smart osc.. One Z3000 out is straight sine wave out to the mixer from the QMMG - Format jumbler with Hall effect. Second Z3000 is getting passed through the Korg Kaoss pad and is kind of sounding like vocal phenomes. Second sequence from the Casio SK-1 with a flute patch, recorded using the internal memory and auto play.

OK, so I have had this little melodic sequence running through my head since the Christmas / New Years Holiday Season and I spent two days and many hours on Rene dialing it in to what was running in my head. It wasn't until I was watching this video after I made it that it clicked where I got the melody from. I was playing with my NDS over the Holidays and was into Professor Leighton's Curious Village (great game BTW) and this is kind of similiar to the backround music in the game. I wasn't trying to re-create the music as it was in my head and I had not played the game in a few weeks since. It is kind of creepy and dark and makes me think of strolling a path in the woods and hearing strange things that creep you out.

Special appearance from the cow who jumped the Moon. Enjoy."
