One of my passions is music. Last weekend I found myself in the building where they make Nuclear submarines listening to that legendary band Faust. It was at the FON (Full Of Noises) Festival of experimental electronic music and sound art.
There was also an appearance by the Tone Float, it's like my MIDI Glockenspiel on acid. Solenoids bashing milk bottles.
Anyway I put together a short video of the event on the Saturday night (it was over several days), which you can watch, and even download, here:- http://www.vimeo.com/7328082
Awesome! I'm a big fan of heavy music! Rather than the link you posted I prefer your song here:
But keep up the good work. Musically it's pretty good.
As for me... Well, I did a pretty popular rock band guitar controller mod:
It's not anything overly complicated but it got a bunch of interest... I've worked on several other designs too, I just don't have youtube videos of me trying them out.
It's not in my free time but I did work to convert a 1959 Mercedes Benz 190SL into a fully electric car with custom body work. That was pretty fun.
Hi Mike, I guess there are a lot of us that like our music, I've got varied tastes, mainly Drum and Bass, Dancehall/Ragga and Rock When the weather is clear enough though I like to do astonomy (visual and astrophotography), here are some links to some of my images (taken a few months ago before I moved):
which type Mike? Planetary, widefield, DSO? I like widefield myself quite a bit atm, oodles of stars and nebula get me going When I get properly setup again I'll be doing a bit of all 3.
Does coding with the windows open count as "outdoors" ??
Here I am, writing a paper on MMORPG quest design (which I really do not want to do as it bores me to death) and then, I decide to surf the arduino forum, and I find this!
Other than my passion for working with electronics i also like working on cars (love dealing with turbocharged setups) and tuning them as well. Chipping ecu's is probably what initially sparked my interest for moving on to learning more advanced circuitry and beginner coding.
