This is a video version of my Audio Myths workshop from the October 2009 AES show in New York City. For copyright and other reasons, Part 1 of this video includes only a portion of the live event that also featured James Johnston and Poppy Crum. Parts 2 and 3 present a more focused recreation of my presentation, including many topics we didn’t have time for at the live show.

In this video you will hear what phase shift sounds like, compare high- and low-end converters, learn about proper test methods, understand why hearing is not as reliable as test gear, and much more. So set aside an hour when you won’t be disturbed, and enjoy.

The original high quality example Wave files mentioned in Part 3 can be downloaded from my web site: http://www.ethanwiner.com/aes

De video duurt 58:43 minuten en is het elke seconde waard!

Zoals ik hier al eerder aangaf, het video-interview gemaakt tijdens de Unconvention. In steenkolen Haags-Engels van mij.

Marjolijn Ruyg, Eveline van Dijck en Rosemarie Kraanen hebben mij een poos geleden gevolgd bij mijn zoektocht naar de bruikbaarheid van open source software voor muziek. OPEN, een documentaire productie van HUMAN, Publieke Omroep. De video hierboven geeft een indruk van de presentatie die Marjolijn Ruyg hield op 5 januari voor een kleine groep betrokkenen in het gebouw Human.nl aan de Weteringschans in Amsterdam.

Voor meer informatie over die avond en het project: OPEN bijeenkomst op de Schans.

GPS Beatmap from Jesse Stiles on Vimeo

GPS Beatmap: Planet as Control Surface. Presented by Face Removal Services.

In 2006, Face Removal Services created the Beatmap, a GPS-based music instrument that transforms the face of the planet into an enormous DJ booth.

Looping musical phrases are represented on a map as overlapping circular territories. As the vehicle approaches the center of a circle, the volume increases. In areas of the map where territories overlap the vehicle generates dynamic mixes of the overlapping musical phrases. By exploring a very large map of many overlapping territories the Beatmap creates complex, dynamic mash-ups.

The map can be explored on foot, by plane, boat, train, or automobile. In this footage the map is explored by car on the Bonneville Salt Flats, allowing the user to freely accelerate, swerve, and slam to a stop for optimum musical control of the instrument.

The Beatmap can be positioned anywhere on Earth and expanded or contracted to any size by manipulating a continuous stream of GPS data. The Beatmap can thus be used to create drive-through mash-ups on any surface of any size, from a tennis court to the Atlantic Ocean.

Exploring the Beatmap is like investigating a new city while navigating a DJ’s crate of records. Obscure landmarks begin to gain new significance by their association with unique musical juxtapositions. For instance, a treacherous pothole may invite multiple drive-bys simply because of its proximity to a particularly satisfying polyrhythm. The Beatmap is currently be readied for deployment in locations near and far.
