The result was astonishing, and i additionally tried to find a way to achieve the same effect here on my website. Finally i succeded, and the result can be seen by just clicking on the patterns.

A quick note before leaving to the mountains: Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello d’Andrea built a wall with flying robots:

A great installation, called a “laser sculpture”. It shows, according to the description, a snail that runs through a cultural evolutionary process. Inventing the wheel. Walking. And so on.

After i missed to post a sound last week, this week there is a new one. Quite simple again, a bouncey tom-bell mixture with a stronge electronic taste.

A little christmas present for computer musicians. It’s another quite simple sound, reminds me of knocking on some wooden blocks or bricks. Could be useful for some percussion lines, or for small melodies. Just created a small Demo:
