dConstruct 2012 intersession soundtrack - Tantek
If you liked the music that was playing in the breaks during dConstruct, here’s the playlist of CC-Attribution tracks as chosen by Tantek.
Sound of Summer
This is sooo nifty: Chloe’s obsessive Summer music visualisation is a lesson in responsive design and progressive enhancement. It’s also pretty fascinating.
The Truth About the East Wind
This is a terrific piece of writing from Robin Sloan, entertaining and cheeky. Plug in headphones, and start reading and scrolling.
The East Wind was about to get a call from an angry star.
The Inceptionator: For all your Inception Trailer Horn Sound needs
BWWAAAMP!
The Unobserved
Describing itself as a radio magazine, this site gathers together audio from multiple sources. Oddly though, there’s no podcast feed and they make it hard to get at the source mp3s.
audiolibre.net | Free sound anthology
A lovely sound blog from Steve Bowbrick (one of the curators of the sadly decommissioned Speechification). Here, he gathers found sounds of all kinds together: great audio grist for the huffduffing mill.
Dance Yrself Clean - LCD Soundsystem - Muppets rock out in Brighton ! - YouTube
A trifecta of nice things:
- Muppets.
- Brighton.
- LCD Soundsystem.
Otomata
A truly beautiful piece of work: generative music based on Conway’s game of life. Go ahead: create something gorgeously unique.
You are listening to Los Angeles
Ambient LA.
Honor Harger on Lift 11: Geneva
Honor gives a tour of sound from space.
MTA.ME
The New York subway schedule converted into sound by treating each line as a string.
audio.js
A handy shim for audio: it uses the native implementation where possible and Flash as a fallback.
Dewey Music
A treasure trove of music from Archive.org.
BallDroppings
Brendan Dawes pointed me to this wonderfully playful creation. It's Flash-free, believe it or not.
Moving Dots Demo
There appears to be a form of synesthesia where people "hear" motion. Watch this video (repeatedly) to test your own sensory perception.
soundamus - new and upcoming music releases from the artists you listen to
A handy little service that creates an RSS feed of upcoming music releases based on your Last.fm listening history.
Thriving Office
Worst. Business Idea. Ever. A CD of office sounds so that homeworkers can impress clients on the phone with the sounds of industriousness. "Instant credibility for home businesses!"
