I’ve caught a nasty cold, so recently I have spent most of my time at home in the bed perfecting my ninja senses and thinking of new ways to rule the earth. At times like these I come up with my infamous Bloody Good Ideas® (Helvetin Hyvät Ideat®). Usually these ideas involve controlling music or video in some unorthodox ways. Most of them never get done because I’m just too lazy to ever finish what I’ve started or because the ideas are just insanely stupid. Newest additions to this collection of Bloody Good Ideas® are:
Bloody Good Idea® #347
The Human Turntables – People are the vinyls and the faders on a mixer. Every person represents a different song and by working together they can actually mix the songs and even scratch or beat juggle. I’m not telling any details about how I’m actually going to do this because I know that the bad guys are reading this and just waiting to steal my ideas, but I got this planned.
Bloody Good Idea® #348
God Is a DJ – I’ve had my MsPinky vinyls lying around for a couple of years, but I’ve never done anything useful with them. So I came up with an idea of controlling a miniature world with the pretty and pink MsPinkstah. I have no idea how I’m actually going to pull it off, but step #1 is to learn how to use Max/Msp.
This blog has been pretty quiet for a while. That’s because I haven’t had anything to say. Or actually I’ve been just lazy. Nobody reads this anyway.
Anyway, here’s a little summary of what’s going on: Pretty busy at the uni, did some projections for a play (I might post some video later), working on a couple of animations and also some shit happened.
Oh, one more thing. I realised that I have to start doing things properly and get something for my portfolio so I’ve started my own company. http://www.originalhamsters.com/ There’s nothing at the website yet. Check back in a few days. I’ll probably integrate a blog to the site so this blog might die in the near future.
So what is this company all about? The same thing that I’m about: DJing, VJing, motion graphics, design and a lot of bullshit. That’s right, DJing. I’m getting back to the DJ game. I’ve been seriously thinking about totally quitting but maybe I’ll give it one more go.
Speaking of DJing, check out djanonymous.fi and educate yourself. I’m listening to this mixtape on repeat. Mad respect to Sampo for uploading old mixes for the good people of the interweb-land.
I’ve been thinking of doing some more guerilla projections around the city, but the problem is how to power up my shit. I don’t have a car so I can’t use this method.
The answer hit me one day while I was walking around the town. In Finland it’s ballfreezing cold around 10 months of the year so all the parking lots are filled with these little mysterious boxes that make it possible to start up your Lada in the winter.
Of course, most of these suckas are locked, but every now and then you can find one that’s open. Or I could just use my mad ninja skills to pick the locks. So, problem solved. Once it gets a little bit warmer and all the polar bears have migrated to Sweden I’ll start my projection crusade.
