Two YouTube Videos And A Mother F***ing Cross Fader

Chris Leone — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 05:06:38 +0000

TwoYoutubeVideosAndAMotherFuckingCrossFader.com is not much more than a poor man’s DJ mixer that takes any two youtube videos and places a cross fader in between the two. It’s crazy simple in design and execution, but it does the job. Only drawback is you can’t preview a song before fading over (as is typical with a proper DJ mixer). Still, for poor college students who run party tunes from their laptop, the price is right; free!

Misa Digital Guitar

Chris Leone — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:25:41 +0000

This Misa Digital Guitar is a Linux-powered MIDI controller that ads the forgotten element of skill back into homemade electronic instruments. Explained by the creator:

“In electronic music, the timbre (or colour) of the sound can be morphed in an infinite number of ways. For a guitar to accommodate this, the right hand needs more control than just plucking strings. You need to be able to control elements of the sound, such as sustain, pitch, filter cutoffs, contour or any other synthesizer parameter, in a way that has no physical constraints.”

Ukulele Boy Performing I’m Yours

Chris Leone — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:00:38 +0000

Thanks to Ukulele Boy’s rendition of “I’m Yours,” I can now proudly say I like a Jason Mraz song!

This is yet another reminder that no matter how hard you practice, cute kids with skills will always be more impressive.

In b flat 2.0

Chris Leone — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:30:28 +0000

Off all music collaboration projects I’ve seen, this very well may be my favorite. It’s nothing more than several youtube videos all following the same basic instructions of “Wait a few seconds to start, play in b flat major, play for 1-2 minutes.”

Start the videos whenever you like, adjusting the volume as you go. Because there’s no real tempo or rhythm, it all works.

If Steve Reich joined Sigur Ros, I’m pretty sure this is what the next album would sound like. Click the image below to give it a go.

If you’re looking for some really chill background music, go here to listen to the videos set on autoplay.

(Thanks, Jared!)

Stuck in Newark Airport (With Total Strangers)

Chris Leone — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:47:20 +0000

In case you missed it in the news this past weekend, Newark Airport was shut down for several hours, nearly seven to be more specific, after someone managed to just bypass security. Traveling guitarist Josh Wilson decided to make something of the occasion and lead the group of stranded tourists, families etc., through a stirring round of “Hey Jude.”

TENORI-ON Is Retro and Futuristic At The Same Time

Chris Leone — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:00:08 +0000

What at first glance looks like a cross between a Lite-Brite and a dedicated minesweeper handheld device is actually the Tenori-On, a slick 16 x 16 grid of LED lights that responds to touch triggering different playbacks, in the end creating cool, futuristic music – almost what I’d imagine my personal theme music to be if I had a flying car in the year 2127. I still can’t figure out what the hell this guy is doing to get the playback he’s getting, but it’s cool nonetheless. If you’re not up for purchasing your own but want a hands-on demonstration, check out ToneMatrix – it’s a simpler, yet totally badass flash app using the same concept.

Volkswagen, with the help of ad agency DDB Stockholm has created this gem of a viral video. It’s all part of a new campaign called, “The Fun Theory,” which attempts to find out if making the world more fun can improve people’s behavior.

This experiment: will more people choose stairs over an escalator if the stairs are more fun to walk on?

Singing Tesla Coils

Chris Leone — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 05:52:43 +0000

The Singing Tesla Coils are two custom engineered Tesla Coils that generate electrical arcs (1/2 million volts) that act as an instrument producing a sound similar to that of an old synthesizer. Accompanying members of the Tesla Coil band include a robotic drum set and other live instruments performed by creators of the Tesla Coils.
