As the saying goes, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Fortunately, that’s not true for old projectors. Last night, we hooked up a projector that’s far from new but still pretty awesome! We hooked it up to a laptop and a neat piece of open source software called, MusicBeam. This is not your ordinary visualization software although if you have been to some of our larger events, you know how much we love visualizations! This software uses shapes and color that by themselves are completely boring (as shown in the laptop images below), but projecting those shapes and colors with a projector and haze is stunning! I’ll even go as far as to say that it rivals some very expensive and high end lights that you’d find at your favorite DJ and lighting retail outlet. The video doesn’t quite do the effect justice as it seems to lose some of the depth that you can see while standing in the room. Even so, it’s still totally awesome and we are excited to use this effect in the near future!
A new website is born!
It is with great enthusiasm that we can finally announce some very exciting news…As the title suggests, we have a new website! It’s bigger, smarter, richer in content, and it allows us to create new content easily. In other words, we can blog! That means all music and industry related topics are fair game. We’ll talk a bit about music, news, technology, playlists, and do some live blogging from some of our most exciting events! Our website has had several makeovers over the years (decade), but none of them have been as significant as this. In fact, we also have a mobile version of the site that looks completely different on mobile devices, but still delivers the same content in a user-friendly way. Just like our performances, everything we do including web design is client-focused! So, after 11 years, we remain committed to our clients more than ever and without further ado, here it is…Enjoy!
