Code Organ

This crazy nutty flavoured website turns any website into music. I think it's a sham. I put in a porn site and didn't hear one bow-chicka-wow-wow. Listen to this site: http://www.codeorgan.com/?url=http://mutated.biz

SID Choonz!

The SOASC= project was an automated recording technique invented by me (Stone Oakvalley) in order to mass record music from the legendary Commodore 64 and its SID chips (6581 and 8580). Realizing this project needed unique hardware solutions and software to back it all up. I spent approx 180 hours on research and how to figure out a plan that would help me automatically record this massive amount of Commodore 64 music. Here is a more or less complete detailed description of all the problems and solutions I encountered. http://www.6581-8580.com/soasc_how.php ! Click the downloads button for a *MASSIVE* amount of c64 game music saved as mp3 Smile

The most organic oscillator in the world

Analogue. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people quest after it like it’s the panacea of sound. Personally, I love analogue synthesizers – I love how they sound, I love how they feel, and I love how they look.

Even among analogue synths, some filters and oscillators can sound more organic than others. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most ‘organic’ oscillator on earth: the electric fish oscillator!

If you go into most pet stores, you can find a little fish called a Gnathonemus Petersii – a member of the Mormyrid family. Most pet store employees will recognize it as the Elephant Nose Fish.

The interesting thing about this fascinating little animal is that it emits pulses of electricity into the water. It uses these tiny little shocks to locate food, other fish, and potential mates. You can actually listen to this electric fish rather easily if if use a small piezoelectric earphone or amplified speaker.

Here’s what you do:

Get a piezoelectric earphone  here or at Radio Shack or any electronics store. Piezoelectric earphones are very sensitive to small electrical signals. Alternatively, you could use a cheap computer speaker.

Cd case that's also an instument


The awesome part is the custom-designed circuit board that accompanies the CD and lists the tracks while doubling as a theremin instrument with headphone jack -- all in a standard-size jewel case. Hit the on button and start making 'music' by waving your hand in front of the light sensors. Sure it sounds a bit like you're squeezing air through a pinched balloon and it costs $50 ($10 for CD-only or $25 for a Pocket Edition), but hey, give this guy some credit for innovation.

Rock and rolled: thieves busted for bizarre online music racket

AN INTERNATIONAL fraud in which a gang allegedly made thousands of dollars downloading its own songs from online music stores with stolen credit cards has been cracked by London police and the FBI. The gang is alleged to have made several songs which they gave to an online US company, which uploaded them to be sold on iTunes and Amazon. Over five months they bought the songs thousands of times, spending about $US750,000 on 1500 stolen US and British credit cards, according to the Met. The criminal network also allegedly reaped the royalties from the tracks, pulling in an estimated $US300,000, paid by the two sites, which were unaware of the fraud. Seven men and three women are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering. Scotland Yard said the arrests were the result of a parallel investigation with the FBI that began in February. "It was established that between September 2008 and January 2009 a British criminal network provided music via an online US company who uploaded the tracks to Apple iTunes and Amazon.com for sale," it said. "This is a significant case for the e-crime unit, which was set up 12 months ago. "The unit has been set up to provide a point of expertise and a national and international response to online crime. The nature of online crime means the unit are actively developing cross-border partnerships both with other international crime agencies and businesses." Detective Chief Inspector Terry Wilson, of the e-crime unit, said: "This has been a complex investigation to establish what we believe to be an international conspiracy to defraud Apple and Amazon. It shows the success that can be achieved through our close working relationship with the FBI.
