Legend of the Synth takes to the decks

Gustavo Bravetti - Alternative Controllers @ Tribaltech 2009 (SC edition) from Gustavo Bravetti on Vimeo.



Ok, so 99% of music we hear and make these days is all electronic based music. Starting from the humble synth things have progressed to where we are today. However, we would not be here without some of the pioneers of our time. People like Robert Moog who created the legendary MiniMoog, still used today. When it comes to using these mamouth synths there is no one more famous than the french genius, Jean Michelle Jarre.

The time has come for JMJ to take things to 2009 as he has now taken to the decks. check the video out for what DJ is evolving into . . .

Are nintendo about to wii their pants . . .


So E3 was a couple of days ago (for those who don't know, its one of the biggest gaming conferences in the tech calender) and Xbox has to be the show stopper at the moment. I have been debating if I were to get a console would i go PS3 (pretty much only for Gran Turismo 5) or Xbox. PS3 on paper is a much better machine, but Xbox just seem to be killing of PS3 as more titles move over to Xbox such as Metal Gear Solid, and the new Splinter Cell (which is exclusive to Xbox now). The cherry on the fast moving gaming cake has to be Xbox's latest announcement code named 'Natal'.

Its pretty much what Wii should have done, completely controller free gaming. Natal picks up 3D motion via a camera, face recognition, voice recognition, with what looks like amazing accuracy. the best way to work it out is to check out the demo video.

Wii or Xbox???? . . . i'm xbox now
