Samplify!

A nice free app that listens to songs and tells you what samples are in them with youtube links to those vids. Its pretty neato.

Daft Punk recreated by not daft punk in an interesting way

This is some freaky deaky stuff, we know Daft Punk love a good sample but down with the nitty gritty of their technique in an almost behind the scenes video, except its not them, and they claim they didn't use this sample.

Floating objects with sound!

Using ultrasonic standing waves from arrays of tiny speakers to levitate and manipulate objects in a 3d space! Amazing.

3d print show

I attended the 3D print show in London this year and found a couple of interesting sound related occurrences.

Here the website for the show
http://3dprintshow.com/category/london2013/

One thing that caught my eye was Gilles Azzaro voice sculptor with his exhibit http://www.gillesazzaro.com/pages/fr/printing3D.htm. Using an Obama speech carved physically into a 3D printed sculpture with a lazer that ran along and scanned the riddles and trough to churn out the speech. It was pretty epic.

Another awesomesauce feature of the show was a robot, like acutal robot, that would respond to vocal commands and was not only 3D printed with the parts, the software and the schematics were all completely open source. By the company InMoov. http://www.inmoov.fr/

Check it! I want to build one.

Marco Donnarumma Xth sense

After attending a recent talk by Miguel Ortiz (http://www.miguel-ortiz.com/), the name Marco Donnarumma was mentioned in conjunction with Xth sense. A free open source system for interfacing biochemical signals with the computer to create sounds from biology!

Its cool, look it.
