NIKE electro shoes – Recommended
You will definitely love this
Here’s all that Nike have to say…
This is a secret live performance that was held in Tokyo.
Hifana is playing music with Nikes flexible running shoes, Nike Free Run+.
*The NIKE FREE RUN+ is absolutely a running shoe.
Shoes sold at retail will NOT make music when bent or twisted.

Perhaps some dance lessons would be in place
Music is one thing, stage performance something else
If this was one of the best performances at Bent Festival I do not dare imagine the rest

The Nebulophone is an Arduino based synth with a stylus keyboard. It has adjustable waveforms, a light controlled analog filter, LFO, and arpeggiator that can be clocked over IR.
This is a beginner kit and does not require an Arduino programmer board.

A close look at Brian Eno and Eyegasm
This video, by Glenn Marshall, is created by an iPad running Marshall’s new app, Eyegasm, paired with Brian Eno’s Apollo soundtrack.
Eyegasm takes a generative approach to animation, creating ambient visuals.
The video is direct output from the iPad’s HD screen, which generates the animation in real-time at 1024 x 768.
My new app ‘Eyegasm’ is now available for iPad on the App Store.
It’s essentially a version of Zio, but without the menus and configurability options (p.s. you can still run Zio in ‘upscaled’ mode on the iPad too of course).
Eyegasm however is HD – and takes full advantage of the hi res screen on the iPad.
Here’s the app description:-
“From award winning digital artist Glenn Marshall, Eyegasm is based on his critically acclaimed ‘Zio’ iPhone application. Eyegasm functions much like a lava lamp, or an aquarium – add a soothing, animated visual experience to your room, heart and mind. Beautiful, endlessly generating organic visuals take full advantage of the iPad’s amazing screen resolution and graphical capabilities. Use pinch and touch gestures to freely move, zoom and rotate. Or just sit and watch. Peace.”
