Made the trip to Salt Lake City to meet others in the React community and learn what others developers are doing with React at React Rally 2018. We made the best of our short trip to SLC with checking out the speakeasy within Bodega called The Rest, enjoying some classic video games at the basement barcade, Quarters, and celebrating Oktoberfest a bit early at Snowbird. Enjoy the pictures!
Here's something fun. I'm building a Univibe clone for a customer. For those of you who don't know, a Univibe was really kind of a four-stage phaser before the technology was Ready for Prime Time. The Not Ready for Prime Time Phasers. Heh...anyway, they figured out a way to do it that was pretty clever.
They split the signal into four parallel signals and then let a variable light-dependent resistor determine the relative phase of those four signals. So it's a flashing lightbulb surrounded by four LDRs, which are notoriously slow and inconsistent in the way they react to light. So the "organic" sound was poor component tolerance, but that's the kind of thing that can be magical sometimes.
Anyway, you have to put a light shield of some kind around the flashing light and the LDRs or else ambient light will prevent the "high dark" cycle between flashes from giving you the deepest, funkiest phase experience, yo.
So here you have plastic chair leg caps from the hardware store. Lined with HVAC metal tape. Because ghetto improvisation works fine sometimes. Heh...oh, and they came two to a pack, so I made a second one and figured I might build myself one eventually...or list it. I dunno. You can't stop the Arts & Crafts!
Martin Kaltenbrunner, one of the Reactable inventors, will perform on the original instrument together with the experimental thereminist Günther Gessert, playing one of the oldest electronic musical instruments. Within an electro-acoustic performance, the physical interface of the Reactable will contrast with the intangible interaction on the Theremin. Before the actual evening concert, participants will have the opportunity to try both instruments in an afternoon workshop.
