		<title>Are Potentiometers are &#8220;turny roundy jobs&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been of long time fan of Rupert Brown&#8217;s DSP Project series. His series does an excellent job of providing tutorials and explanations of concepts in simple terms&#8211; great for simple laymen like me. This week he explains midi. From the description: &#8220;This week I cover the basic concept of MIDI and Controllers as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chet Aktins Guitar Method</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New layout is up. That&#8217;s right, I&#8217;ve finally decided to dive into the dark world of web development, although I didn&#8217;t think it would be as oppressively dark as the page layout turned out. Although I normally tend to gravitate to stories about novel instrument uses, but lately I&#8217;ve become enamored with Chet Atkins. His [...]]]></description>

I also have a site redesign in the works(no clue when it will be finished). In the mean time, here are some cool things you should have seen already: mlrv 2.0&#8211;an open source program(hypersampler) for grid controllers. Featuring HUGE TEXT [...]]]></description>

		<title>More * hero games. This time it&#8217;s Theremin Hero!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope I haven&#8217;t become too obsessed with guitar hero knock-offs and derivatives lately, but this project seemed too fascinating to ignore. http://www.thereminhero.com/ Theremin hero seems to adapt the theremin to function as a controller for guitar hero. The volume antenna controls the note trigger and the pitch antenna controls the note value. If you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rockband 3 announced. Includes midi instruments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and realistic controllers. The game features new instruments, including an octave and half keyboard and a 17-fret guitar w/ six strings. I&#8217;m not going to wax and wane philosophical about whether this is good or bad for music. If it&#8217;s a fun game, I think the creators have done good work, but with rumors [...]]]></description>

Released on a circuit, that&#8217;s plugs into an 1/8 inch jack makes this performance piece somewhat hard to describe.

		<title>Fairlight IIL in video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a demo video of the Fairlight IIL from the early eighties. A time when the word, &#8220;Digitize&#8221; still meant something and samplers presented a bold new world of possibilities. If someone can point to a draw your own waveform softsynth, like the one in the video, I would be quite greatful. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;]]></description>

		<title>Daedelus has new Concept album.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It always amazes me how Daedelus can be so immersed in the popular electronic music scene and still produce wild soundscapes like this. Daedelus &#8220;Righteous Fists of Harmony&#8221; from DestroyRockMusic Inc. on Vimeo. The concept is a soundtrack for the boxer rebellion. From brainfeeder: After seventy years of China’s opium-related subjugation by Queen Victoria and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Car elevators are futuristic playthings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago i featured some videos describing ambitious and ridiculous road projects, fictional and real. In the futuristic video&#8211; which featured some gems: like heated roadways and punchcard voting system for cars&#8211; there images of elevators taking cars to within a few feet of their high-rise office desks. Someone in NYC decided now [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is a Mellotron</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video provides a wonderful description of an early sampling based instrument. Every sound was recorded on a tape track and played in sync with the other track. The keys appear to control the tape heads. The instrument has since appeared on an impressive list of popular recordings for such a novel instrument. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;]]></description>
