The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons
licensed sounds. Freesound focusses only on sound, not songs. This is
what sets freesound apart from other splendid libraries like ccMixter. You can find collections, geotagged sounds and remix the sounds. Great stuff if you want to build geotagging environments.
Just exploring a bit hyperspace and found some interesting starting points for nice work on multitouch user interfaces and audio? reacTable, very interesting, colaborative sound interface.
In Halberstadt in Germany a piece of John Cage is performed at the moment. The piece is called ORGAN2/ASLSP (as slow as possible). The duration of the overall performance will be 639 years! Very interesting idea, so generations can talk over the piece and talk to each other. We (our generation could today listen to the 6th change in sound in the masterpiece. Unfortunately I will not be able to be there. Probably for the 7th change.
Hi all, back on blogging and back on drummin again. in the last months my son Konrad Lee Specht was born so I was busy with more important things than blogging. furthermore I have started drumming again and after several years of not playing I got myself a roland electronic drum set to be able to play in my flat. nice practice drum set!
So about drummin: browsing some archives and looking back into drummer stuff i found some videos of Jojo Mayer from whom I had some drum lectures in around 88 in Zürich. I like Jojo’s drumming style a lot and he is really big in drum’n base stuff, one of my favourite videos see below:
BTW the try to get into his concerts you will like it .

This is a really nice application of a game controller. Check out the amazing rolo site and the Wii LoopMachine, so you can use it on your mac and with a standard WII controler to manipulate and Live Mix Samples with the WII Mote.
