FLAC is a free lossless audio codec. I have been getting compression around %60 of the original size. It also comes with a Winamp plugin for playback. This could be very useful for archiving all those live sets.

Sound with Space and Motion

Conventional binaural recording uses microphones embedded in a dummy head to record sound, so that playback through headphones mimics the recording. That method does a fair job of reproducing sounds to the left and right but not to the front, where sounds appear to come from immediately in front of or behind your head. Furthermore, it doesn't allow for movement, Duda said.

"The problem is that people do not keep still," Duda said.

The new method records through multiple microphones (eight for voice, 16 for music) spaced around a head-sized ball or cylinder. The sound is played back through headphones with a small tracking device attached to the top to follow head movements. As you turn your head while listening, the system mixes sound from different microphones, reproducing what you would hear if you were in the room.

Tunes create context like language: Maths shows why tonal music is easy listening.

Ever felt as though a piece of music is speaking to you? You could be right: musical notes are strung together in the same patterns as words in a piece of literature, according to an Argentinian physicist.

His analysis also reveals a key difference between tonal compositions, which are written in a particular key, and atonal ones, which are not. This sheds light on why many people find it so hard to make sense of atonal works.

Back! Too much to put into words. Ok, maybe one: Wonderful. Thank you!^∞

As a general rule the activity on this site is inversely proportional to the amount activity in my life. Needless to say, I've been busy as of late.

This Saturday is the big day! I'm heading up to Rhode Island tomorrow morning and I have a DJ set at Tazza Cafe in Providence tomorrow night. Friday is the rehearsal, Saturday is the wedding, and Sunday we leave for San Diego. Wish us luck!

Nintariman will be performing live this Sunday night at Silk City in Philadelphia. Here's the info. Come on out and show your support!

Oh yeah, he's opening up for Funkstorung.

FYI

Ableton just announced Live version 4. Now with full MIDI and VSTi support. Looks really nice. Might finally be time to jump from the sinking (sunk?) ship that is Muzys.
