TengkuBudiman's RECommendations
The REGULARITY Is (still) Near
Oh, it hurts. I can't write it out. Just hit that play button...
On the upside, I'm absolutely still gonna start on time with that there regular RECording routine. The REGULARITY begins one week from today.
And here's my idea for what we're gonna do on the actual day of 11/11.
I wanna make something together called "The REGULARITY Is Here".
And I wanna start it and finish it all between 11:11 AM and 11:11 PM california time (my apologies to the later-time-zoned europeans and australians).
You know how they do those 24-hour and 48-hour film festivals? Well we're gonna do a 12-hour festival. Except instead of a little group of people in the same place, we're a whole bunch of people all over the world. I'm just gonna stay working on it for 12 hours straight. See what we can make.
Also, I'm not allowed to say what it is yet, but this coming monday, I'll have some really big news for hitRECord that sort of throws our story into a whole new frame.
Thank you for playing.
again by heart...

More than a simple thumbs up, it's a way the entire hitRECord community can communicate as one sort of... organism. Together. Here's why I hit the heart button and Recommend RECords... It's a tool towards democratic meritocracy. Mass communication. The computer doesn't understand when I say "good job," or "bad job". The computer doesn't speak English. But when I Hit the Heart, the computer understands it. And counts it. It helps organize our RECords. Few of us have time to hit every RECord here. So how do we choose which? The first thing I do when I arrive on hitRECord.org to get a quick sample of stuff that's resonating with the community right now is to hit the Beating Heart. Then I check the rest of the Recommended RECords, the ones with the highest Heart Rates. I probably haven't explained all this stuff as well as I could and should have. Heart Rate is a simple ratio, Hearts divided by Hits. Of the folks who've seen this, how many of them Recommended that others take a look? The other place I usually find new RECords is on hitRECorders' Recommended list. On our own hitRECorder page, it displays our RECords, and below that it displays our Recommends. We make our Recommended list by hitting the heart button. Now I know bringing numbers and math into the creative process sounds sort of scary and counter-intuitive. But personally, I've never had that aversion to numbers. You know how often great mathematicians are also great musicians? It's a matter of patterns. Intervals. Rhythms. Obviously, as a message from one individual to another, showing someone a little picture of a heart doesn't mean much. But those Hearts really aren't about a message from one individual to another; they're a way that the entire hitRECord.org community can communicate as one sort of... organism. Together. Here's a conversation Teafaerie and I had about it... http://www.hitrecord.org/danshowrec.php?rec=241 <3 |

Drum & Bass style music composed and performed on an original Nintendo Entertainment System
I got this really slick hardware hack for the original Nintendo Entertainment System called the MIDINES. It's made by Xik over at http://wayfar.net. It lets you control the Nintendo's sound chip with an external MIDI instrument like a keyboard or computer. I composed this little demo song using my computer, but it's all being played back and recorded on the Nintendo's single mono audio output. There are some digital effects added on top, but the recording was done in one shot. Nerdy delicious. Just for fun.
