Yesterday I found this here on youtube: An undead TB-303. The device was bought in a wrecked and desolate state and the new owner fixed it, replaced missing parts and also put shiny white LEDs into the 303. This does not only looks cool, but the sound-characteristics are also a little but apart from the original. Wrrraaaah, let the sound live on!
Unfortunately I missed the REVISION2011 demoparty in Saarbrücken, the more or less inofficial successor of the BreakPoint-Party, that took place in Bingen before always at the Eastern days. Here are some of the more interesting contributions from the party and also lots of winners. I think the contributions were all really in a nice shape. For the ones who want know, here are the voting results.
One Single Life is a concept game by Fresh Tone Games. The game mechanics are similar to Canabalt, but there is a special twist, that games usually tend to avoid: You only got one simple single life. If you loose it, you cannot start the game again. Really. This leads to some very interesting shifts in the experience of the player. The game actually feels like having a round of Parcours, but in a game. Before you jump, you can practice every level. But when it is getting real, the adrenalin rushes into the veins. To achieve this thrill with such a minimal casual-game… Well, that’s something I call something. Best try it out yourself. At least this game is a free download. (via)
Unfortunately I got lost in level 6!
There is freshly available a small video-introduction of the HiScore Pixeleditor, I just post here as well. It shows the basic workflow of the HiScore Pixeleditor. Especially the fast way of picking colors makes the editor a fun experience.
The Swiss Mapping Festival for VJing and visual culture will start again this year an may. The festival has its doors open at 10 days (!) – you can visit Mapping in Geneva / Switzerland from 19.- 29.

This music came just in: The EP Kemonogatari from artist Renzo. It sounds like F-Zero soundtrack meets music from Ken Ishii and endless blue nights. Maybe also with a little spice of Fila Brasilia. This EP was released on the Berlin / Barcelona based Netlabel Musica Vermella. And since this is a free Creative Commons download, you best choose the option to download now!
