the conet project: letölthető hidegháborús államtitkok (yes, downloadable numbers station broadcasts)


Hidegháborús államtitkokat, matahariktól és vérszökőkutaktól lucskos kémtörténeteket és a Fringe idevágó epizódja óta összeesküvés-elméleteket kombinálnak össze a The Conet Project gerinckarmolgatóan hangulatos felvételei: a rövidhullámú rádiózás értői és avatottjai csak number stationként ismerik azokat az adásokat, amelyeken kizárólag rövid zenei vagy dallambetétekkel központozott számsorokat hallhatunk. A berlini fal leomlása előtt, úgy hírlik, még ilyen, csak one-time padekkel visszafejthető kódsorok formájában kapták a kémek és titkosügynökök utasításaikat - a számállomások viszont a mai napig működnek. Töretlenül. Az Irdial az elmúlt húsz év felvételeiből tallózott négy korongnyi mintát, amiket itt tudtok letölteni (meg számos más helyen is, legálisan, pl. az archive.org-on), a negyedik CD-n még magyar nyelvű (NNN/V18) samplet is hallhattok, a helyetekben rákeverném a NASA hangfelvételeit a Jupiter mellől, mellé pár véletlenszerű tracket a Vir Unis - Carbon Based Lifeforms - Z'ev háromszögből, aztán várhatjátok a démonokat. Kellemes hétfőt. Amúgy.

Messages of creepiness and unearthliness crawling through the realm of shortwave a.k.a. number stations. If you're a Fringe fan, you've probably already dug your way into one of the weirdest one-way communication methods of the past century, weird radio broadcasts carrying seemingly endless lists of numbers read in monotonous voices. Now Irdial's offering you (actually they've been offering this to you for quite a while, here's also a download link at archive.org) a number station broadcast compilation spanning 4 CDs from the past twenty years and it's nothing short of weird. Put it into your mix, spice it up with the NASA Jupiter recordings (just as we did), add some Vir Unis, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Z'ev tracks on top and then expect the worst. A great Monday to you, by the way.

It creates a radiant dissemination emanating from her skin.That projection was animated and progress over her entire body until it has reached and invaded her face. (light rhapsody vimeo, as recommended by @toyclouds, thx!, and also found on paranoias.)



the damage report 009: életed leghosszabb stringje

Már csak azért is szórakoztató az az olvasói levél, hogy túl hosszú mondatokat írok, mert még emlékszem egyetem harmadévről a szomorúan férjezett, leszbikus angoltanárnőre, aki ugyanezt mondta, weird vocabulary, outlandish grammar, ezekkel a szavakkal, utána írtam neki az Üvöltő Szelekről egy ötoldalas félévi esszét. Tőmondatokban. Szerinte életem legjobb írása volt, szerintem ujjazzon magának gyereket holnapig. Leegyszerűsítem: nincs túl hosszú mondat.

how to make music without instruments?

This is an example, how to use the basic stuff in your room in such creative and musician way. Just take some noisy and voiced objects and record them with any sampler. At the end use all this stuff to create any music u desire. Or... You even don't need any sampler. Just use your friends, give them gadgets and transform your party into gizmo-jam-session. I can guarantee much fun. Enjoy! (via vimeo)

lazy teenage superheroes: way better than skins us s01e01 (from 300 bucks)

Lazy Teenage Superheroes is an extremely funny, extremely well-executed 13-minute rude little superhero movie, made by Michael Ashton for a mere $300. It's full of cussin', lewd speculative scenarios involving the private lives of slacker teen supes who are mostly interested in using their powers to get loaded and/or laid. And there's ninjas and herpes jokes. (via boingboing)


damage records: abort, retry or fail? (from 1997)


Look what the cat dragged in some fourteen years ago. This is one of the oldschool ParaRadio promos I received for the show (and I just started my university major, that was some long time ago, I'm afraid) that grew to be the beginning of a six-year long career in streaming and broadcast radio. Found this while looking through my CDs, something I don't do very often, but I found some treasures (will have a post later on about those), including this, smeared with a long egotistic streak of a grin. Unfortunately, Damage Records didn't really survive. Now would be the time for a retry. Just saying.


the all-black apparel wishlist

Taking their design from the scaled body of the pangolin, or spiny anteater, and made from reused inner tubes, their segmented design makes for a pleasing shape, providing their wearer with a versatile carapace for storage. I especially like the smaller backpack which, when worn, looks like a pill bug desperately clinging to its owner’s back. (PANGOLIN MOEBIUSWEAR via coilhouse)

It's the kind of watch that Nigel Tufnel would doubtless describe as none-more-black. $595 from Watchismo -- part of their larger Tsovet collection. (TSOVET AT76 ALL BLACK via boingboing)


alex roman: everything above else

Animator Alex Roman's beautiful work has been discussed here in the past. He also made a great "making of" video of his acclaimed The Third and The Seventh. Late last year, he posted this lovely montage of unbelievably believable CGI, created for kitchen countertop company Silestone. Be sure to watch it in HD for maximum amazement. (via boingboing)


living light: the artificial light tree from seoul

In addition to looking like the plant life of some far off alien planet, the Living Light permanent installation also acts as an air quality detector that glows and blinks in response to environmental changes. Locals can also send text messages to the structure, which then sends data back to the person and displays visual light activity dictated by how many people simultaneously communicate with the structure.

mondo damage report: a 2011 januári szám tartalmából

Már a standokon a Japán/popkultúrában evező Mondo Magazin tíz oldalnyi Damage Reporttal (változtattunk, nyolc oldalt egyben, két oldalt pedig elszórva kaptok minden hónapban - ebben a hónapban a Summer Wars és az Armitage III cikkekben találhattok meg). Kapjátok a pagedumpokat: miért szeretjük annyira (és miért szeretik mások) az indie játékfejlesztés legújabb üdvöskéjét, a bioökozombitúlélőlego Minecraftot, hol tart most éppen a Neurománc forgatása, miért lesz jelentős év 2011 a manga/animékből forgatott live-action adaptációk miatt, szót ejtünk az év legizgalmasabb új játékairól, kitérünk a Wikileaksre és természetesen kapjátok a kétoldalas zeneajánlót (a klasszikus Pretty Hate Machine újrakiadásától a Tympanik új és ingyenes elektro-zaj-glitch válogatásáig). Vegyétek, örüljetek.

goblin war machine, dedicated to all the ibs students

This goes out to all students in my class, because your Practical Cultural Studies exam starts right about now and you all feel like an angry goblin war machine just waiting to be unleashed to the fields of ROCK. Good luck and godspeed! On the other hand, this is a great game, "you are in control of a giant instrument of destruction, out to wreck havoc on every village and establishment that it passes through on the route to conquering the entire kingdom", wonderfully reconstructing the whole [city virus] meme Morrison talks about. But anyways. Madmaxize yourselves up. (via indiegames)

how to make your own face-shifting rorschach mask

Thermochromic paint is temperature sensitive, so when applied to a cloth mask it would react to, say, someone breathing through it. That's how YouTube user guinness0507 achieved the same effect as all that Hollywood movie magic, and for paint that supposedly cost him around $70 (which would be enough to make 50 masks, apparently) (via dvice)
