I was really very much looking forward for that to happen and finally "its ooooon!" So take your chance an WIN THE LAST seperately available copy of the vinylpostcard (ltd 33+2 pieces) by ONLY posting a comment to the blogpost on the SPLIT PERSONALITY blog.

The lottery will run on until December 4th, 11:55, CET. From here its your decision if you want to give 2 minutes of your precious time to read the blog and post a comment. That's actually just ... "one time" not checking facebook updates ... enjoy and good luck!

Find out more about that mixed media installation on the project's website. The vinylpostcard is part of that installation (ldt 3+2). Also check the nice post by dj food about my postcard and the Stepkids one on Stones Throw.

Comments regarding the lottery are ONLY CONSIDERED via the splitpersonality blog, but STILL: feel free to drop your thoughts here too. Always enjoying feedback. Makes sense to post blogs. Thx!


I'm proud to announce, that "Strictly Kev alias DjFood/Ninja Tune" wrote "a little something" about my "lenscapes #02" vinylpostcard project and the one Stepkids just recently released as a bonus to their album on "Stones Throw". He was quick enough to grab THE LAST remaining vinyl postcard that was for sale and I'm really glad he did. Now head over to djfood.org or find information about the project on the beta of the future "lenscapes_02" project subsite.



BIG THANK YOU everyone for your support, of course to Strictly Kev for taking the message further than his "P.O.-Box"!!! Glad that "carrier-pigeon" found its way to London. And I'm working on the next one for all that missed out.

One more chance: the last remaining one (not counting my personal copies and those that belong to the installation) will be in a little quiz on splitpersonality.at soon... stay tuned!

Go-like simplicism seems to be the philosophy that prevails in the domain of digital live controllers. anyhow...

mlrv:
...works on grid-based music contollers like the monome, livid ohm/block, novation launchpad, and akai apc/mpd. the software allows a sound file or live recording to be mapped across each row and assigned a triggering behavior.
Within this simple set of constraints and a complete MIDI + OSC remote control system, the performer of electronic music can be freed from the laptop, and at the very least appear to be doing something interesting.

further it is:
open source software, free to download and use. if you like it and find it becoming a part of your musical process (like we have), we ask that you consider contributing to its further development by purchasing a +supporter or +benefactor license...

The artists in the videos below are altitude sickness and galapagoose, both working on mlrv 2.0.

best track EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!!!! enjoy this one

This has been floating around the web for quite some time now, I thought I'd post it anyways for those who don't know it yet: Canabalt is a nice little independent flash game and it's about as simple as it can get. You only need one button to play it but that doesn't make it the least bit less addictive. Perfect for those never ending office hours...

Some of you might have been there this weekend, Lens mentioned it in an earlier post: Into The City / Asian Village as part of the Wiener Festwochen going from 8th of may til 14th of June.

Here are some of my personal impressions:

I started my little tour on Saturday, May 23rd with a delicious snack from one of the street kitchens hosted by the Thai and Indonesian embassies at Gumpendorfer Straße in the 6th district (which was the center of asian village and closed down for automobiles the whole weekend).
At about 7pm I went to Semper Depot to see/hear a sound/dance performance by Singapur artists sonicbrat (sound), Lim Chin Huat (Motion) and Lim Woan Wen (Light). The show, which lasted about an hour featured a dark light setting with multichannel sound art / piano improvisations and a dance performance. The combination of the three worked quite well in my opinion, although I'm not much of a fan of lenghty and dreamy piano variations. That aside the performance was a success, especially the middle part, where resonances of space were fathomed out, and the ending with its unique lighting, almost turning the poles of semper depot into some kind of dark forest.
After that we went out on the street again to hear a performance by Stereotyp, Cee and AraByrd from Malaysia which was a defintive banger and got the street crowd moving pretty intense. Ranging from Dubstep to Techno to HipHop, Stereo and Cee broke genre borders once again and AraByrd found an answer to every one of their tracks.

Now to my sunday highlight which started at noon, also at Semper Depot. Some of you might have seen Daito Manabes YouTube videos already, yesterday he held a 20 minute performance with a colleague which was quite impressive to see live be honest. Called "Face Visualizer, Instrument and Copy" they hooked themselves up to electrodes which stimulate their facial muscles according to the sounds played. Here's my own short documentation, taken from the middle of the show (Daito is the guy on the right):

That's all from my side, after the performance I went out to enjoy a wonderfully sunny Vienna City sunday. Lens J. might hit you up with a more precise update this week. Stay tuned!

From May 27th - 31th the festival Coded Cultures, presented by artist group 5uper, is taking place in Vienna.
