I have been thinking about building a visualiser since 2003 (when I saw one on www.2advanced.com) and have finally found the time to look into AS3′s computeSpectrum as well as Richard Lords’ FLiNT Particle System and came up with this example which uses Jamie T’s – The Man’s Machine (which you can buy here).
I’ve started a long commute into work again recently and so have dug out my PSP and bought a couple of new games one of which is the new GTA Chinatown Wars. One of the radio stations has been given over to DJ Khalil, and the tracks he’s produced for this game really hit the spot.
I’ve posted up my personal favourite but The Koalition have very kindly put together a mixtape of all the tracks which you can grab here.

Autumn Evening from jam343′s flickr photostream
Just a bit of electronic goodness to keep you warm on these cold autumn mornings/nights, hopefully I will get some time in the next month or so to put together a proper mix.
Also keep checking Tycho’s iso50 site, Scott has just finished some beautiful artwork for his latest single (you can hear the Lusine remix here, or through the Ghostly International Discovery App for iPhone with these mood settings), and I hope should be releasing a new album in the next couple of months.
I was at Leeds festival last saturday and just thought I’d share some of the best tracks I heard during the day. Conspicuous by their absence are Pasion Pit, I was quite looking forward to their set however poor sound and the leader singers ridiculously high pitched vocals put me right off. Honorable mentions for The xx and Metronomy who were both fantastic.
This is not shinny happy music for shinny happy people, it’s sparse, heartbroken, melancholy and yet somehow still manages to be uplifting, these are simple, lovingly crafted songs that fall almost whispered into your ear.
I stumbled across ro whilst checking out the audio/visual interfaces on monomes site.
seemebeemin is a combination of all things good part hip hop, part nintendo, part electronica. It sounds a bit like what an Avalanches record might sound like if Xela or Metamatics got there hands on it, it even has a couple of what I think are Bill Cosby sound bites thrown in for good measure.
