Announcing my next EP entitled ‘All it can be’! Previews of tracks as I work on them to be heard. Print ‘All it can be’ to show up soon too.

This is awesome enough to have it’s own blog post.

“Apple software engineer Andrew Carol has rather impressively put together a replica of the ancient Antikythera Mechanism – built entirely from Lego.

Carol has, with a big bucket of Lego and the backing of Digital Science, demonstrated how the contraption may have been used to calculate eclipses:”

'67' - Print by Soulfrost

New print in the shop entitled ’67′ is now available. You know looking around you begin to see all this modern art and you start thinking to yourself, damn I want my own modern weird piece and that is exactly what this print is.

Check it out!

I’m a sucker for quality packaging and this qualifies. Something I strive for with my own work, music or prints. Images and packaging design by Give up art.

Word.

Apple announced the iPad today the long awaited tablet device that has been rumored forever. To be honest it’s a large iPod Touch/iPhone. People will complain that the storage isn’t large enough or that there isn’t a camera on there. I personally noticed that this could be used as a musical instrument/controller. For example on the iPod Touch/iPhone there is an App called ‘TouchOSC‘.

I’m hoping that the same guys create a version for the iPad. If you are familiar with Jazzmutant’s Lemur you know that TouchOSC on the iPod Touch/iPhone is basically the same thing on a smaller scale. It was never a problem until today because a bigger screen is what you truly need and wanted for something like this.

I personally think that Jazzmutant as a company is going to be slowly forced into becoming a software only company and should really think about developing an App for the iPad before guys that did TouchOSC or someone else might even jump in. At the price point of 1700 – 1800 usd for the Jazzmutant Lemur vs starting price of 499 usd of the Apple iPad, no one in their right mind would purchase the Lemur today unelse you like wasting money.

iPad is the most exciting potential music device of the year. Suck it NAMM, you fucking joke.

*Update

I do know that the iPad is completely functional with all iPod Touch/iPhone Apps. So therefore TouchOSC would work with the iPad but I think it just enlarges the app to fill the screen. I want new App to utilize the full screen.

Here is a hands on demo of the iPad:

Interesting idea for an album cover. When you open it.. it breaks a seal of an ink pack and therefore every album cover will be different. People are saying that this is an interactive album cover, I don’t think so. If you want a interactive album cover check out Moldover’s album (yeah same dude with the Mojo controller).

Pretty cool I must admit but ugly.

Intense video/movie about the font called Helvetica. I’m sure you have it on your Pc/Mac. This video gives you a inside look on where the font came from, examples how it first started to get use to today’s uses and as well a lot of opinions from artists.

*Hope you had a safe and good New Year! One thing I would like to mention that this past month I have been posting almost every couple of days which this year will be more of one or twice a week. Why? I need to focus my time more on my projects instead of blog posts. You know the more important things.

I absolutely love Molton Brown. I’m not sure where I heard of them I think it was from a magazing a couple years back now. I think their print design is top notch. It’s simple and gets it right. The pictures don’t do them any justice though, they look better in person. You can buy/learn more about them here.
