Atomic Powder
http://vimeo.com/18179514
“Atomic Powder” was created during the summer 2010. This video is a sign of energy people are used to get through bread and atom. Basically, these things make our bodies and screens work. By watching it the author would like you to think about how these amazing things happen together.
References go to german techno musician SuperMayer and his very track called “Two of Us” and probably a pioneer of video art Gary Hill, whos rather similar video experiences Ioffe discovered on YouTube a while ago after the production of “Atomic Powder” had been finished. And of course a very nice guy from Finland whos name I recall a little later!

Ryoji Ikeda’s pure data
datamatics [ver 2.0] is the new, full–length version of Ryoji Ikeda’s acclaimed audiovisual concert. For datamatics [ver.2.0], Ikeda has significantly developed the earlier version of this piece (premiered in March 2006), adding a newly commissioned second part. Driven by the primary principles of datamatics, but objectively deconstructing its original elements – sound, visuals and even source codes – this new work creates a kind of meta–datamatics. Ikeda employs real–time programme computations and data scanning to create an extended new sequence that is a further abstraction of the original work. The technical dynamics of the piece, such as its extremely fast frame rates and variable bit depths, continue to challenge and explore the thresholds of our perceptions.
Japan’s leading electronic composer Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the minutiae of ultrasonics, frequencies and the essential characteristics of sound itself. His work exploits sound’s physical property, its causality with human perception and mathematical dianoia as music, time and space. Using computer and digital technology, Ikeda has been developing particular “microscopic” methods for sound engineering and composition. Since 1995 he has been intensely active in sound art through concerts, installations and recordings: the albums +/- (1996), 0 degrees (1998) and Matrix (2000) have been hailed by critics as the most radical and innovative examples of contemporary electronic music. With Carsten Nicolai, he works the collaborative project ‘cyclo.’, which examines error structures and repetitive loops in software and computer programmed music, with audiovisual modules for real time sound visualization. The versatile range of his research is also demonstrated by the collaborations with choreographer William Forsythe/Frankfurt Ballett, contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, architect Toyo Ito and artist collective Dumb Type, among others. Ryoji Ikeda received the Golden Nica prize at Prix Ars Electronica 2001 in the Digital Music category.

Dpoint are back
Swedish synth band Dpoint are proud to release their new album “In memory of the voices no longer in our heads”
So, in the last shivering minutes of 2010 (it is actually 2011 in some parts of the world already!), Dpoint would like to summarize the year that is soon nothing but history, but also we’d like to take a look at what’s ahead of us for 2011.First of all, we’ll remember 2010 as the year “we put the band back together”! Although we never quit the band, the Re Union Day Concert in April was our first concert in close to 20 years! An amazing crowd of old and new friends turned up, and it was indeed a Re Union in the truest sense of the word! Robert was stuck in Paris due to the Icelandic volcanoe ash and had to participate via Skype, but hey, this is 2010, and technology is great!
Secondly, we released our first official recordings in 24 years (!) as we released the single Disco Bitch on iTunes and Spotify, and during the summer months, we also created a whole range of new material that during the autumn and winter turned into a full length album.
Also, as a result of the great Re Union in April we hooked up with several old friends from the local synth/electronica/pop scene, which inspired us to go even further in creating new material and exploring new ways to bring our ideas out to the our friends and the occasional fan!
All in all, 2010 may go down in history as the most interesting and exciting year in the long history of Dpoint, so with that in mind, we have a challenge to make 2011 even better! But we need your help to do that, and as a starter, we have three things already planned for 2011.
First, we have the release of our new album, “In memory of the voices no longer in our heads”. The album will be available on iTunes and Spotify on January 15, and we are very keen to get your feedback! Secondly, to celebrate the release of the album, we are inviting all our friends and fans to the Virtual Release Event that marks the release of the album. It will be a streamed event, entirely via the internet, and we hope that you will hook up, invite your friends and have a good time with us! There will also be a photo contest together with the release event, so make sure you have your cameras available when it starts! Thirdly, the Re Union Day Concert #2 will take place in April, and that is an IRL event, so make sure you pencil that into your calendars! We hope that we’ll be joined by at least one or two more bands, to make it as great as last time!
Well, that’s about it. Take care on New Years Eve and make 2011 a great year!

Korg DS-10 I’m Back
Some really cool videos to kick start the new year with 
Written on an acoustic, recorded on the DS-10 and imagined on the Epson HX-20..
Simple pop tune on the Nintendo Korg DS-10…in desperate need of vocals.
Watching Protect & Survive public information films on my Casio calculator watch in 1981…..or maybe not.
3D Printed Flute
This isn’t a perfect instrument, some of the keys didn’t close well and Seth had to improvise, and use some fingers to close keys that didn’t seal well. This is the reason – as some of you have noticed – the fingering seems odd.
Creative Diversity: 5 Live Packs From International Ableton Artists
http://www.ableton.com/nl726-creative-diversity-packs
This collection represents the regional and musical diversity of the Ableton community, featuring experimental sonic textures and drum kits courtesy of Saturn Never Sleeps (USA), funky, Neo-Afro live stylings from Gazelle (South Africa), a breakdown of “Hit Me” – the Italo-disco take on Ian Dury’s classic by Telonius (Germany), as well as the results of a sampling spree through the catalog of Truth and Soul Records by Apple Juice Kid (USA), and some experiments in extreme compression from Ben Frost (Iceland).
We hope these Packs keep you inspired all winter long and beyond.
