Pixerlizer (or Processing Baby Steps)

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

We’ve been eyeing Processing for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge. The result turned out to be pretty useful (albeit not unique).

Pixerlizer in Processing from GOAB on Vimeo.

The theory is simple: load color values for all pixels of the current frame to a 2D array, sample the color value c of every nth pixel on every nth row, draw a rectangle n*n in it’s place with color c. Rinse and repeat. Performance is in all honesty pretty horrible but that seems to be inherent in the processing.movie library and my ageing Macbook. All in all, a good learning and experience and we’re already working on new Processing-stuff. Stay tuned.

So, after spending 25 years in the cold north, I’ve decided to give Gothenburg a chance. It’s only a short affair, I’ll be subleasing an apartment for a year, but we all know those are the best.  I’ll be arriving the 13th of August, wish me luck! /Richard

MEGA!

Yeah, pretty awesome new visuals for top bangers Hervé & Sinden. A lot of Apparati Effimeri in there but that’s alright when it’s this scrummy.

I found another way to procrastinate!

Hobnox Audiotool

So, I stumbled upon this pretty damn addictive timewaster; it’s a rather rudimentary but fully functioning beat/music creator.

It’s got a TR-909 clone, a TB-303 clone,  a tone matrix, a bunch of effects,  a 16 channel mixer and fancy routing (you can drag your stuff around and arrange them in pretty grids. I love grids.)

To sum it up, pretty much everything to keep me from doing actual work for a few hours, and the best part – it’s online and based on flash!

Completely batshit insane.

So, we’re learning processing and I guess it might be useable for completely insane and awesome stuff like this:

We’ve been to Sápmi.

you've never been to sápmi

Blänk, fine eurotrash from le north of Sweden, insanely satisfied with our previous efforts gave us a ring when a cover was needed for their debut album. Worldwide release date is set for August 27. We did plenty of retouch for this one along with some 3d.

Right, now we’re getting somewhere. Note the dismal Mad Professor state of my hair and my stache. Coming up next: I’m getting myself a poncho.

The Knuckledusters rework Tony Thomas

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The Knuckledusters (that would be YS Andreas and London DJ Funkhead Fred) have turned in a pretty massive remix for Tony Thomas, if I may say so myself. We’re talking serious summer tunage.  Get your glowsticks out.

For sale on Beatport.

Going for your brother

Blänk, fine eurotrash from le north of Sweden needed a badass cover for their single “I’m going for your brother”. We delivered.

Andreas will have lunch 2

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Yep, I’m off to lunch. Probably a sallad at the local sallad joint and a quick run down to the library.

As you can see Richard is smack in the middle of creative zone at the moment. Me, not so much. Hence all the lunch posts.

Anyway, I’m off. Starving here.
