AR Electric Fields

Getting “Theremin Inspector v2″ ready for BioRhythm NYC was so quick, that I neglected to get any videos of the thing in action. So recently when digging through the code in preparation for “Theremin Inspector v3″ (to be shown at BioRhythm Singapore), I put this quick screengrab together. It’s the same field line [...]

New Site Design

I just finished re-designing this site. It’s drastically simpler, and there will be some more interesting and newer content up soon, interesting old content will be re-organized into a “projects” section, and ramblings and news will be left where they belong… right here on the blog.

The logo at the top of the [...]

What’s more astounding is that we weren’t [...]

Arizona on Daytrotter.com

The kind folks over at Daytrotter put up a nice post about Arizona. Sean Moeller was in Asheville for HatchFest earlier this year, and I had the pleasure of recording some great musicians live to 1/4″ tape, daytrotter style. It’s so awesome to work with folks that have a real [...]

SSH tunnel and VNC

Mac OSX comes with SSH, so setting it up wasn’t too hard, and I found a new VNC viewer JollyVNC that is really top notch. The author also has a really inrteresting VNC based product called “screenrecycler” that turns any spare [...]

Jtm45 offset chassis

He’s working on an awesome marshall jtm45 offset prototype clone, sometimes called the “kitchen” amps, because jim marshall built them in his kitchen. It should be pretty cool, I’ll post pictures of the faceplate and chassis when we get [...]
