My beautiful kid open-source VST plugin Single Knob Filter appeared on Create Digital Music, making me really proud. :-)

It made the news because it’s being shipped with the Ableton live presets for the Aurora open-source DJ mixer/controller. That’s the beauty of open-source projects: you really never know where they will end showing up.

UPDATE: BitBang’s official site is now online! Check it out at bitbang.geradorzero.com.

Yep, it’s back – with a vengeance! Every week (hopefully) I’ll post a ~30 minutes DJ-set for you to check out some of the weirdness I’ve been trying. This one is a warm-up – good to listen while you get ready to go out. It’s chill-in time!

BTW, I’m making a separate site for this, but for now I’ll post them here. Enjoy!

PS: Bonus geek points for the first to get all the tracklist on the comments. ;-)

Um minuto de silêncio, por favor. Um bom texto sobre o projeto aqui. Torçam e mobilizem-se, ainda falta a câmara aprovar para esse absurdo virar lei.

I’ve just received an email from Alexandros Sigalas (a.k.a. Charles Kowalski). Who? The guy who made this awesome video:

Yep, he used oggenc -q 6 $x from #!/bin/bash as the soundtrack, and I think it fits perfectly. So, if you like it, be nice and leave him a comment here. :-)

This is a new toy (at least in Brazil) that’s being released in a toy fair in São Paulo.

I wonder where I’ve seen this before…

Creepy. Video here.
