The first link is to go with our case study of DJ Shadow. Take note of the equipment that he is using as well as his focus and immersion with his equipment

The second link is of a club in Ibiza showing game-play between the audience.

Sorry these didnt work on the presentation but now you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home instead

Cheers

Short track

Dear Class.

This is a short track Dean and I made as part of our 'Digital Music Technology in Live Performance' Presentation. Its completely built from parts of; Beatles- LSD, Blondie-Rapture, Faster-Manic Street Preachers, Zdarlight-Digitalism and Zorba the Greek. The way it was constructed highlights some of the ideas in our presentation and should put things in a clearer context. Give it Listen!!!

Video Art?

Hi all,

I was messing about on youtube earlier and came across a few videos by this guy called Lasse Gjertsen. He seems to have a lot of similarities with Martin Arnold in the fact that he takes video footage and edits it in order to make a new art piece (although Arnold seems to use found footage that already exists as its own separate entity) and thought that I'd put one of his videos up on here for discussion. He also has a video of himself beatboxing which is in a similar style and worth looking at. What does everyone think of this? Do you think that we can draw comparisons with some of the artists that we have looked at in seminars?

Dean and Zacs research project

Dear class

As part of our research project Dean and I would like it very much if each member of the group could post 1 song of your choice in the comment box, simply stating the artist and title of the song (nothing too obscure) of any musical genre. Thanks

Contact lense Technology

Here is one of many articles on the web about contact lenses being developed that provide computer-aided vision, exiting in terms of the ability to layer virtual worlds in front of the human eye with no obviouse screen or boundary. The technology of the AVIE and the neccesity of the screen seem to soon be obsolete????
