Season’s Greetings

Software updates December 2011
There has been a few notable software updates the last week. CoGe relesed version 1.2, Resolume released Avenue & Arena 4, Hexler released a VJ app for the iPad, updated TouchOSC to 1.8 and released a MIDI Bridge app. And some of them have great christmas offers too. Read about it in this post.
Two new tutorials
I’ve made two new Modul8 tutorials. The latest one covers a question that I get asked very often, how to animate still images and videos to the beat (bpm) in Modul8. The other tutorial teaches you how to connect TouchOSC with Modul8 over Core MIDI with MIDI feedback. It was made in conjunction to one of my workshops at the audiovisual program at the University of Dalarna.

But to not mess up the history completely we list all blog tweets posted by @ElectricKingDan and @themidithief within this blog post.

Behind the scenes of the Trailerpark Festival
This weekend I got an email from Lasse Andersen a.k.a. Same Same, a fellow visualist from the Dark Matters collective in Copenhagen. He was pushing their last video from the Trailerpark Festival 2011 but since it was so freaking nice I asked him a bit about how it was made and about the people involved […]
CoGe 1.0 (OSX) goes commercial
CoGe v 1.0 (OSX) has been released and is no longer free. The creator made the decision to go commercial to be able to keep the project going. The software costs only $99 and is right on sale for $79 which is good bang for the buck.
