The wood options in the scraps were slim and I haven’t been trained to use the table saw yet so when I found this little piece, I decided to try to work with the grid of holes in it. Its a neat effect, but I misaligned it just slightly.

Bibio - Bones & Skulls
The vocal harmonies on this track are seriously straight out of Pink Floyd’s Echoes (or maybe other Wright/Gilmore pairings) and then this vocoder singalong thing happens and its just generally pretty great.
I made this with a laser cutter yesterday. This was more of a test of different combinations of settings of power and speed on the laser cutter to see what would work best with the kind of forms I’m engraving. Hopefully I’ll find a time to do some more later this week.
Nice use of Delaunay triangulation. Something about the way the colors are chosen for the triangles in some of the examples on the linked page almost feel like really low-res ambient occlusion rendering.

Hypnosis - End Title (Blade Runner)
Replicants jack to this. Anonymous friend Noah dug this up on vinyl somewhere over the weekend and played it for me last night and now here I am coming up for air after a very thorough Internet search mission. I found it.
FANTASMI MACCHINA, the blog I found it on, has a rapidshare link to several Hypnosis records and a TON of other really hard to find and out of print music. I’m gonna have to spend some time there digging through all the goodies.
I mean its pretty good and all, but the highlight for me is the dude in the snazzy shades “playing” the 303.
This bike is the c.
The BauBike is inspired by Bauhaus design.
It is constructed around the geometric shape of the square and the equilateral triangle. The design is stripped down to clean lines and raw material.
The open-end piece above the back wheel, offers the possibility to customize the function of the bike to whatever need you may have. The different accessories can be placed in the tube and can easily be changed if needed.
The design follows a set of formal rules, limiting the geometry to straight lines in a pattern of 60 and 90 degree angles in proportions following the principle of the golden section.
Check out this proof-of-concept demo of Seaquence, a collaborative project by my Bay Area homies Daniel, Ryan and Gabe. It’s got kind of a Toshio Iwai flavor with some fl0w 1.0 style navigation. If that sounds like a winning combination, its because it is. Looking forward to seeing this one develop further.
When it opens to the public, visitors can build their own “seaquences” to live in the system using a step-sequencer and custom synth engine.
