A city never sleeps because inside which lives humans which never stops going somewhere. This time-lapse video shows the pulse of a city through the rush hour traffic in Central in Hong Kong one gloomy evening.
For the soundtrack I had wanted something repetitive and Philip Glass came to mind. I had originally written something but thought that the video works best with something by Glass. To avoid licensing issues (mostly because I publish everything via CCBY), I found a MIDI file performed by Bertrand Robion on the web [1] and mixed it with some piano samples.

Agata Olek (Flickr) talks about her 100% Acrylic Art Guards public installation (wearable sculpture / performance art) during the annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in 2009.

Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.
Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.
Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.
Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.
13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation's largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists' studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

This is a time lapse with 1-minute intervals which spans a 24-hour period of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (香港中文大學 CUHK) from the vantage point of SML Universe HKG. A total of 1427 frames full res RAW files were captured to make this 1 minute long video. You can see that objects on water really do move quite a bit, and there are always some bizarre patterns on the water surface. It really is quite incredible.
I photographed this using fullres RAW because I intended to get enough footage for a 4K cinema release years from now. But HDD storage space is starting to become an issue, so I might shoot in fullres JPEG in the future because exporting all these RAW files for JPEG stills was somewhat time consuing as well.
Soundtrack is my own rendition of Bach Counter Fugue No.1 scored with Organ + Harpsichord.

Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese chat with See-ming Lee regarding their new collectible sculptures limited-edition series Deadly Sins. The set of snowglobes are available individually, each of which contain one word from the seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride - and represented by a unique color.
Interviewed and photographed during Eyebeam Open Studios Fall 2009, a biennial event celebrating the synergy of art, design and technology in New York City.

Deadly Sins
A new collectible, slated to set the mark as an icon for the 22nd Century - collect all Seven Deadly Sins. Due out by December in an exclusive limited edition set.
Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

Eyebeam Open Studios: Fall 2009
eyebeam.org/events/open-studios-fall-2009
Eyebeam is pleased to host Open Studios for its 2009 Senior Fellows, Resident Artists, and Student Residents at Eyebeam’s state-of-the-art design, research, and fabrication studio; showcasing video performance, wearable technologies, code and humor, party technology, and sustainablity design.
///////////////
Eyebeam is the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Founded in 1996 and incorporated in 1997, Eyebeam was conceived as a non-profit art and technology center dedicated to exposing broad and diverse audiences to new technologies and media arts, while simultaneously establishing and demonstrating new media as a significant genre of cultural production.
Since then, Eyebeam has supported more than 130 fellowships and residencies for artists and creative technologists; we've run an active education program for youth, artists' professional development and community outreach; and have mounted an extensive series of public programs, over recent years approximately 4 exhibitions and 40 workshops, performances and events annually.
Today, Eyebeam offers residencies and fellowships for artists and technologists working in a wide range of media. At any given time, there are up to 20 resident artists and fellows onsite at Eyebeam's 15,000-square foot Chelsea offices and Labs, developing new projects and creating work for open dissemination through online, primarily open-source, publication as well as a robust calendar of public programming that includes free exhibitions, lectures and panels, participatory workshops, live performances and educational series.
My audio samples are stored in a FireWire external drive for use with the MacBookPro. I am migrating everything over to the MacBookAir and Apple told me that there is no way to use FW drives natively. WTF?!
So now I am copying everything over to the new drive. Now there are many ways you can do that. You can use OSX’s native copy and paste. But OSX copy and paste is slow and would go do file counting. It also had issues if you terminate file transfers in the middle of it.
But rsync does all these—and better at it. It is already built in inside OSX. Shell tools are better and more efficient. You can buy apps which do these kinds of things but why buy crappy apps when you have the best tool for it?
Syntax:
$ rsync -av [source] [target]
or what I did in my shell:
$ rsync -av /Volumes/Ra/Audio/ /Volumes/LaCie/Audio/
where:
-a is a flag to tell rsync to turn on archive mode, where “accessed date” and “modified date” will not be modified as a result of copying.
-v is the flag for verbose mode, which shows the files being copied as the process continues.
For the rest of what rsync can do, look no further than its built-in manual, of course:
$ man rsync
I know, it's a no brainer. But I continue to be surprised at what most people didn't know is readily available in OSX

1. The updated iTunes is awesome. Spiffy and neat. SML Love. SML Thank You. Yes I own a lot of @Tiesto. Tiesto is my “work like a machine” biohacking music. The US Air Force uses Amphetamine for the same purpose, but Tiesto is both safer and cheaper (and legal in most countries).
2. Now that my iTunes Match subscription has ended, I can finally change country. SML Thank You. Updated my credit card information to Hong Kong, so all should be good, right?
3. Apparently not. I kept on getting error 5002. Googling the net it seems that credit card info is the issue. People suggest that removing CC and then only subscribing again should work. But not for me.
4. But I have identified the issue. Basically, the US address entries contain City and State information which Hong Kong address does not. But since I used to live in New York, those fields are active, thus obviously my bank does not authorize an address in Brooklyn but there is no way for me to remove those entries in my address fields [2]

The instruments we use changes the way we play. The track was recorded and played live directly on the iPad using Orphion’s “3rds Matrix” grid.
The natural position of my right hand touches A4 and A#4. The natural position of my left hand touches F4 and D4. By shifting my hands a note to the left and to the top right, I get RH: F4 F#4 LH: C#4 A#3 and then RH: A#4 B4 LH: F#4 D#4.
The whole song are essentially repeated notes of the following
1L: D4 F4 1R: A4 A#4
2L: A#3 C#4 2R: F4 F#4
3L: D#4 F#4 3R: A#4 B4
I don't know what key these are in. I just play. And so while as a classically trained pianist I am conscious of the notes and key signature when I play on a conventional keyboard, Orphion’s seemingly illogical layout renders some nice experimental results which I enjoy.
I use the in-app recorder to record my live playing which I then email myself as an M4A file. The file is then placed into Ableton Live where I manually wrap my human-playing into something which sounds somewhat on time — though obviously the nice rubato are lost. I will work on getting something that is less machine like perhaps.
Then I layered some repeated tracks, and added some ping pong to the piece to give it some nuance together with some Lexicon reverb goodness. Mastered with Ozone 5 and voila.

Crying in Public by Civic Center @civctr vimeo.com/59738042 #hk #cn #art
The world around us is plastered with messages telling us how to dress, what to drink, and how to behave. DETOUR 2012, Design Renegade, is an experiment in reclaiming our public place, to restore a sense of dignity, curiosity, and basic empathy.
Crying in Public is an experiment in defining the city by our emotions. Through a series of street signs, stickers, and chalkboards, passers-by are prompted to pause, reflect, and consider their emotional connection to the city: “Where was the last place you cried?” “Where was your first kiss?” Other signs will redefine specific and often overlooked alleys, parks, and verandas as ideal places for specific emotions like: “This is a good place to feel calm” or “This is a good place to freak out.”
Removable vinyl stickers with similar messaging will be distributed across Wan Chai, encouraging citizens to claim their own special places throughout the city. All these materials will encourage people to share their stories on a website customised for the project.
Civic Center is a creative studio based in New Orleans. Founded by Candy Chang and James A. Reeves in 2010, Civic Center blend art, design, education, writing, and music into projects inspired by cities. Civic Center believes that our public spaces should spark conversation among strangers, make the machinery of the city more accessible, and restore a sense of dignity to all.

I have originally sequenced this as 4K cinema output, but it seems that not a single video sharing site supports beyond 1080p so to save some bandwidth and rendering time, this is hereby rendered as 1080p.
Each frame in this 24fps videography is a full-resolution RAW capture. The photographs have not been tweaked so I have a record of what the RAW capture is like.
A total of 1,014 frames full resolution RAW files are used to create this video which span 42 seconds during playback at 24fps spanning 10080 seconds or 2.8 hours in capture time.
This is mainly a technical proof-of-concept so I can validate my hunch that working on time-lapse videography by enables better source as well as final render. Also, there is no way that I would be able to photograph something spanning 3 hours on video. But doing this at 10-second intervals only took up 11 GB on the 32 GB card.
I will try to do some capture in longer intervals in the future.

These counterpoints were written in 2007 as a remix—writing I like writing counterpoints but I don’t really have time to write something original for this video so it is stuck here for convenience. soundcloud.com/seeminglee/arcus-sml-alto-recorder-solo-sy...

彩熊 Rainbow Teddy (RT) volunteers his precious time to help SML out for some video motion tracking.
RT: Oh SML, you seem to fail every time you do motion tracking on your videography.
SML: I know, right? Would you be so kind to appear in this test video so I can test this in a lab condition?
RT: Alright, but make this quick ok? Unlike you, I am very busy.
SML: Thank you!
RT: Enough talk, let’s get moving…

I had so much fun last time that I decided to go back Skydive the Ranch for seconds (T2: Tandem 2)
I went with Adam S. Kirschner (Blog / YouTube) and his college buddie Brad for this round of crazy stunt.
Colin Sutherland could not make it because it was CME's birthday on Sunday. Eduardo F. Ortiz just jumped last week so he was not here either.
I am happy that my first skydiving video had generated enough buzz that has convinced Adam to come and he clearly had fun as well. See his video at YouTube: HiKirsch: Adam S. Kirschner - Skydiver
Last time was awesome, but this time I truly felt it. I still freaked a little when I jumped out of the plane, but it was all exciting shortly after... and for the first time around, I actually did enjoy the view very much.
Skydiving... highly recommended!
SML Skydive video remix
Two months have passed and I still have not had the chance to remix my first video, but with these new footage shot by Laszlo Andacs, I should have enough materials to create my upcoming dance track, Crazy is Good. Stay tuned. For more SML Music, visit smlMusic.com.
SML Thank You
+ Adam S. Kirschner: I would like to thank Adam S. Kirschner for inviting me to go with him on his first skydive! I love people who can work hard and play hard, and as I mentioned in my previous blog post, those are exactly the kind of quality I seek to work with. I am impressed, and I am really glad that Adam had a great time also. I Love ASK! Kudos!
+ Beth Schuman: I would like to thank Beth Schuman for jumpsuit wardrobe assistance. Beth had her first skydive the same day and I am very honored to be her witness as she signed away her life to her tandem instructor.
+ Brad Schwatz: I would like to thank Brad Schwatz for skydiving with us. I am also really glad that I have successfully convinced him to throw close to three hundred bucks to get a video on his first skydive. Brad is a shoe designer, and definitely has an eye for shoes. Fashion fashionistas warning: you have approximately five years to scoop him up before I am ready to build my fashion collection.
+ Denes Gutai: I would like to thank Denes Gutai for being my T2 skydive instructor. Denes is also the U.S. exclusive distributor for Intrudair, a line of quality jumpsuit products from Hungary. I checked out the site last night and those pants are hot! I also find the logo design of Intrudair to be really inspiring. Go check it out at intrudair.hu!
+ Jeff Daniels: I would like to thank Jeff Daniels for skydiving with Brad.
+ Laszlo Andacs: I would like to thank Lazslo Andacs for shooting and editing the wonderful video above. Originally I was expecting this video to be similar to the first one shot by Oren Peri, as such I am very impressed to see the diversity in creativity in not just how the same subject can be explored, but also in terms of style and perspective. Very well done!

So the Hover Bar kept on getting better. I have now found it to be most useful in controlling music surface. Here shown again with Griid Pro and the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong on the Dell U2711 monitor.
The great thing about the arm is that I can position it where my left hand rests way out from the desk. No more holding the 1.5 lb iPad 3 with two hands. Now this is how controllers should be. It is also useful with other music apps I own. Vibration is still an issue but otherwise I do recommend it.
This is working so well that I am thinking of having monitor arms for all my monitors now.

“DJ Rainbow Teddy mixing his next hit after Madonna called” #CCBY #Crazyisgood
Bert+Ernie are no longer with me. They stayed behind in New York along with 95% of my other friends. But I took rainbow bear with me. It was given to me by a dear friend. So toy stories from now on will be about mostly Rainbow Teddy.
I remembered what my mom says when she saw Rainbow Teddy. She says: “有冇搞錯呀?!” Which literally means “did you get it wrong?” Or rather most appropriately mean in modern language WTF?!
Well, evidently Teddy doesn't give a ___ about my mom’s comment either because he is working on a new single right now. But he won’t tell me what it is because when Teddy is busy he hates it when someone disturbs his “flow”—which SML totally “gets”. :)
DJ Rainbow Teddy was handmade with love in Vermont in the US by Vermont Teddy Bear in case you are wondering. Here photographed with his mastering headphones AKG K701 and the Denon X800.

Screenshot here is what the Ableton Live set of Orphion Ping Pong looks like inside Griid Pro. I own many Ableton Live iPad controller apps including TouchOSC and TouchAble. TouchAble is the one with the most features. TouchOSC is a custom hackable version. I also write my own Python OSC hacks to interface with Ableton Live in the shell. So trust that I know how all these things work.
Griid Pro, made by Liine, does not have as many features as TouchAble, but it is however the most stable. Stability and user experience is important to me. Sometimes you just want things to work as they are supposed to. You don’t really need a whole lot of features. That said Griid Pro can use an interface update. Regina graphics would be nice.
Otherwise it is well worth its slightly higher admission price. Recommended.

Although nothing seems to be moving when I photographed this, it does appear to be moving quite a bit. There is a slight time gap in the middle because I had to change cards but it’s not like that you can see it.

Very soon I should have a whole collection of rowing. :)
A coxed four is a rowing boat used in the sport of competitive rowing. It is designed for four persons who propel the boat with sweep oars and is steered by a coxswain.

This video is done for my 人流 Human Logistics series. What I tried to do is to show that even without specific signage or directions, we as humans also travel in the flow similar to the flock of birds and school of fish.
This particular video is assembled using footage shot from the ground level. Some parts are more successful than the others. But in some earlier videography shot from the aerial view, the pattern and formation are very obvious.
This is a 10 year project of mine. And I hope that at the end of the decade I will be able to assemble enough clips to make a feature film. The soundtrack is written quickly inside Ableton Live.
Everything is licensed via Creative Commons. The video should be downloadable from Vimeo and the soundtrack from SoundCloud.

Originally I was expecting this video to be similar to the first one shot by Oren Peri, as such I am very impressed to see the diversity in creativity in not just how the same subject can be explored, but also in terms of style and perspective. Very well done!

SML Google: See-ming Lee - SML Skydive 2007.10.13 - Crazy Again!
I had so much fun last time that I decided to go back Skydive the Ranch for seconds (T2: Tandem 2)
I went with Adam S. Kirschner (Blog / YouTube) and his college buddie Brad for this round of crazy stunt.
Colin Sutherland could not make it because it was CME's birthday on Sunday. Eduardo F. Ortiz just jumped last week so he was not here either.
I am happy that my first skydiving video had generated enough buzz that has convinced Adam to come and he clearly had fun as well. See his video at YouTube: HiKirsch: Adam S. Kirschner - Skydiver
Last time was awesome, but this time I truly felt it. I still freaked a little when I jumped out of the plane, but it was all exciting shortly after... and for the first time around, I actually did enjoy the view very much.
Skydiving... highly recommended!
SML Skydive video remix
Two months have passed and I still have not had the chance to remix my first video, but with these new footage shot by Laszlo Andacs, I should have enough materials to create my upcoming dance track, Crazy is Good. Stay tuned. For more SML Music, visit smlMusic.com.
SML Thank You
+ Adam S. Kirschner: I would like to thank Adam S. Kirschner for inviting me to go with him on his first skydive! I love people who can work hard and play hard, and as I mentioned in my previous blog post, those are exactly the kind of quality I seek to work with. I am impressed, and I am really glad that Adam had a great time also. I Love ASK! Kudos!
+ Beth Schuman: I would like to thank Beth Schuman for jumpsuit wardrobe assistance. Beth had her first skydive the same day and I am very honored to be her witness as she signed away her life to her tandem instructor.
+ Brad Schwatz: I would like to thank Brad Schwatz for skydiving with us. I am also really glad that I have successfully convinced him to throw close to three hundred bucks to get a video on his first skydive. Brad is a shoe designer, and definitely has an eye for shoes. Fashion fashionistas warning: you have approximately five years to scoop him up before I am ready to build my fashion collection.
+ Denes Gutai: I would like to thank Denes Gutai for being my T2 skydive instructor. Denes is also the U.S. exclusive distributor for Intrudair, a line of quality jumpsuit products from Hungary. I checked out the site last night and those pants are hot! I also find the logo design of Intrudair to be really inspiring. Go check it out at intrudair.hu!

Album cover for Bits and Pieces.
About the music
This piece draws concept from Steve Reich's idea of writing something which sounds repetitive but in fact were never repeated throughout the entire composition. The piece were literally pieced together in Ableton Live, but the notes - the bits - were input from the iPad, using various MIDI controller apps I have downloaded from the App Store.
Because of its relatively repetitive sounding nature, I do not intend the audience to be sitting still - you are encouraged to use it as background while multi-tasking. In fact, if you do indeed feel that it is repetitive, I would have accomplished what I set out to do.
This is a pre-mastering rough and is part of the Bits + Pieces album.

Someone [1] on SML Facebook [2] commented that SML should be careful to not trip from the cables on the desk. While cable management continues to be an issue, the real issue with the current work space is not cable management but work surface availability.
Right now I am using a MUJI dining table [3] fully extended which measures 130cm (4.3 ft) L x 80cm (2.6 ft) D as my working surface. It is barely holding all the input control surfaces which I use. The Wacom is mostly now resting on my arm rest because this is the only way I can do all of my work.
I would rather not have to have all of input surfaces, too, but they all serve a purpose:
+ Apple Wireless Keyboards. I have two (one not shown) because Apple’s bluetooth pairing won’t allow easy machine toggle and I have two Macs running side by side.
+ Apple Wired keyboard. I need this so I can use InDesign keyboard shortcuts for Paragraph and Character styles.
+ Apple Trackpad. Sometimes when I have all these wireless devices running (especially if the Eye-fi is running) the Bluetooth Mouse is very unresponsive and have lags so I use the trackpad.
+ Apple Magic Mouse. I need this because it is the fastest.
+ Novation Remote SL 25. My trusty MIDI input surface. The best velocity-sensitive synth-action keyboards I have played on. Highly recommended.
+ Wacom Intuous Touch 5 Medium. I used to have the Wireless version but Mac does not pair with it very well, which is very annoying. So I upgraded to the Intuous Touch 5 which supports multi-touch and comes with a wire.
Aside from Photoshop work and sometimes Illustrator work for drawing type, I also use the Wacom for writing Chinese characters. Apple’s native handwriting recognition would only do it with the Trackpad. The Inking app does not support Chinese. So I use VisionObjects’ MyScript Stylus [4] which supports multiple international languages including all the the CJK languages, latin languages as well as Arabic. It is the best handwriting app available on the OSX that I have tried. Recommended.
So you see, what I really need is a larger desk and a larger space. Which for now I cannot really afford because Hong Kong properties are ridiculously high now. And I am in no hurry to go enslave myself under some gigantic agencies any time soon.

Photographed with Canon EOS M and the Canon EF 17-40 f/4L lens mounted on tripod at SML Universe Limited (Hong Kong). Imported into Premiere Pro and sped up 1000%. In the middle you will see a ship hurry quickly by. There is a long version for this also but no one really have the time to look at 10 min of “artsy” video so hereby sped up ten times to 53 sec total.
Soundtrack composed using the iPad app Orphion (playing live). First exported as m4a in-app, then imported into Ableton Live 8 to manually wrap points. Added some Lexicon reverb and then mastered using iZotope Ozone 5. The full-length 24-bit 48 kHz track can be downloaded on SML SoundCloud. See link below.

# SML Music: Orphion Ping Pong / SML: Bits and Pieces (2012)
The instruments we use changes the way we play. The track was recorded and played live directly on the iPad using Orphion’s “3rds Matrix” grid.
The natural position of my right hand touches A4 and A#4. The natural position of my left hand touches F4 and D4. By shifting my hands a note to the left and to the top right, I get RH: F4 F#4 LH: C#4 A#3 and then RH: A#4 B4 LH: F#4 D#4.
1L: D4 F4 1R: A4 A#4
2L: A#3 C#4 2R: F4 F#4
3L: D#4 F#4 3R: A#4 B4
I don't know what key this is in. I just play. And so while as a classically trained pianist I am conscious of the notes and key signature when I play on a conventional keyboard, Orphion’s seemingly illogical layout renders some nice experimental results which I enjoy.
I use the in-app recorder to record my live playing which I then email myself as an M4A file. The file is then placed into Ableton Live where I manually wrap my human-playing into something which sounds somewhat on time — though obviously the nice rubato are lost. I will work on getting something that is less machine like perhaps.
Then I layered some repeated tracks, and added some ping pong to the piece to give it some nuance together with some Lexicon reverb goodness. Mastered with Ozone 5 and voila.

Biography
Matthew Borgatti was born with a painfully overactive imagination, grew up a perfectionist and will probably die on a runaway carnival ride. He went to the Rhode Island School of Design and took summers off to build movie monsters in Burbank beginning with Snakes on a Plane and working his way through Aliens VS Predator II: Requiem.
After graduating with his degree in Industrial design he moved out to California to make his fortune. Although this didn't exactly work out he spent his time there interning at Instructables, building boats for Makani Power, publishing a book called Show Me How, running industrial robots for a show called Prototype This! and helping everyone from independent inventors developing their first product to artists working on giant sculptures for Burning Man through Instinct Engineering.
He once wore a tshirt so witty that people thought he was both sarcastic and sincere at the same time. The paradox stretched the fabric of spacetime so thin that he was able to high five himself. He's currently working at Eyebeam, developing prototypes for and directing the filming of Diana Eng's project Fairytale Fashion.

2007-10-13 I went skydiving again!
SML Pro Blog: See-ming Lee / SML Skydive / 2007-10-13

SML YouTube: SML Skydive: Episode 2: 2007-10-13 = Crazy Again!
SML Google: See-ming Lee - SML Skydive 2007.10.13 - Crazy Again!
I had so much fun last time that I decided to go back Skydive the Ranch for seconds (T2: Tandem 2)
I went with Adam S. Kirschner (Blog / YouTube) and his college buddie Brad for this round of crazy stunt.
Colin Sutherland could not make it because it was CME's birthday on Sunday. Eduardo F. Ortiz just jumped last week so he was not here either.
I am happy that my first skydiving video had generated enough buzz that has convinced Adam to come and he clearly had fun as well. See his video at YouTube: HiKirsch: Adam S. Kirschner - Skydiver
Last time was awesome, but this time I truly felt it. I still freaked a little when I jumped out of the plane, but it was all exciting shortly after... and for the first time around, I actually did enjoy the view very much.
Skydiving... highly recommended!
SML Skydive video remix
Two months have passed and I still have not had the chance to remix my first video, but with these new footage shot by Laszlo Andacs, I should have enough materials to create my upcoming dance track, Crazy is Good. Stay tuned. For more SML Music, visit smlMusic.com.
SML Thank You
+ Adam S. Kirschner: I would like to thank Adam S. Kirschner for inviting me to go with him on his first skydive! I love people who can work hard and play hard, and as I mentioned in my previous blog post, those are exactly the kind of quality I seek to work with. I am impressed, and I am really glad that Adam had a great time also. I Love ASK! Kudos!
+ Beth Schuman: I would like to thank Beth Schuman for jumpsuit wardrobe assistance. Beth had her first skydive the same day and I am very honored to be her witness as she signed away her life to her tandem instructor.
+ Brad Schwatz: I would like to thank Brad Schwatz for skydiving with us. I am also really glad that I have successfully convinced him to throw close to three hundred bucks to get a video on his first skydive. Brad is a shoe designer, and definitely has an eye for shoes. Fashion fashionistas warning: you have approximately five years to scoop him up before I am ready to build my fashion collection.
+ Denes Gutai: I would like to thank Denes Gutai for being my T2 skydive instructor. Denes is also the U.S. exclusive distributor for Intrudair, a line of quality jumpsuit products from Hungary. I checked out the site last night and those pants are hot! I also find the logo design of Intrudair to be really inspiring. Go check it out at intrudair.hu!
+ Jeff Daniels: I would like to thank Jeff Daniels for skydiving with Brad.
+ Laszlo Andacs: I would like to thank Lazslo Andacs for shooting and editing the wonderful video above. Originally I was expecting this video to be similar to the first one shot by Oren Peri, as such I am very impressed to see the diversity in creativity in not just how the same subject can be explored, but also in terms of style and perspective. Very well done!
If you are interested in freefall videography, digital imaging and computer editing by this professional skydiver stunt cameraman, check out his website at www.laszloimage.com.
+ Marcos (SML Data: no last name data unavailable): Thank you for being Adam's T1 skydive instructor.
