For this stark, spellbinding episode of Room 205, director Luis Farfan worked closely with director of photography Conor Simpson, set designer Tamarra Younis, editor Forrest Borie and sound engineer Jon Gilbert to capture the band's mesmerizing live performance while crafting a world of abstract symbols, ambient sounds and cinematic contrasts, entirely elegant and arresting in their own right.
BIO
Los Angeles based artist Camella Lobo has been quietly releasing music under the moniker Tropic Of Cancer since 2009. Drenched in romanticism and soaked in themes of solitude, mortality and love, her music forms a strangely hypnotic connection with its listener. Lobo’s majestic vocals, warmly cradled by waves of ascending synths, plangent guitar, and foreboding beats, summon the listener into a world of dark decadence and delicate beauty. Formerly a duo with minimal electronic artist, Silent Servant, Lobo has enlisted the assistance of Taylor Burch to help execute her music in a live setting.

Playing around with the new synchronized random seed.
This one is an old system - but with random seed sync, the self-similar aspect is emphasized.

The 555 timer generates pulses and can be used for a bunch of stuff. Pulse characteristics are determined by resistors and capacitors. By varying the resistor value using my "keyboard", I can control the frequency of the pulses going off to a speaker. However, the keyboard would probably need to have trimpots rather than static resistors in order to make proper (CDEFGAB) tuning possible.
Reflection test using the new internal Structure Synth raytracer. (Rendering time: 2.4s)
I've started working on a simple built-in raytracer in Structure Synth, both for providing fast previews in the GUI, and for people who are intimidated by the somewhat complex template export.
So far it is pretty standard stuff: a single-threaded, Phong shaded based raytracer which uses the Fast Voxel Traversel method to accelerate ray-primitive intersection tests. As of now it supports reflections, transparency, shadows (the hard and ugly type), and adaptive anti-alias. I've also implemented a simple Ambient Occlusion scheme.
When I was up at Random Hacks of Kindness there was an interesting cacophony of noise coming through the walls. I wandered around to find out what it was, and stumbled upon the Annual Analog Synthesizer Meeting.
It's a group of audiophiles who use only analog circuits to make music. They generally hand solder their systems, though you can get kits.
The systems produce sound like this:

(listen to it about halfway through, it starts off slow)

I've added several different random color schemes to Structure Synth.
The image demonstrates the use of the 'color random' operator, for different color pools:
set colorpool randomhue
set colorpool randomrgb
set colorpool greyscale
set colorpool list:orange,white,white,white,white,white,white,grey
set colorpool image:filename.PNG
These schemes are described in more details on my Syntopia blog.
This update necessitated a few changes to the underlying random number generator system: the Eisenstein Engine in Structure Synth is now powered by two independent Mersenne Twister streams. And not only does that sound sexy - it also ensures that structures made from a specific random seed can be reproduced on different platforms.
Structure Synth terminates the recursion if the number of objects is greater than the given threshold ('set maxobjects ...') or if the recursion depth becomes greater than the maximum depth ('set maxdepth ...'). It is also possible to set a maxdepth for an individual rule ('rule R1 maxdepth 5').
I've added two new rules for controlling the termination.
'set minsize {size}' and 'set maxsize {size}' allows you to specify how large or small a given object can be before terminating. The 'size' parameter refers to the length of the diagonal of a unit cube in the current local state. (The initial coordinate frame goes from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1) and hence has a diagonal length of sqrt(3)~1.7). It is possible to specify both a mix and a min size. The termination criteria only stops the current branch - if other branches are still within a valid range, the will be continued.
This is very useful for preventing Structure Synth from creating boxes which cannot be seen anyway or from growing without bounds.
The image shows the same structure at three different minimum size tresholds.
Example script (requires a post-version 0.9 of Structure Synth!):
set minsize 0.8 // or 0.4, or 0.2
set maxdepth 600

That package "U105" is really odd. I've never seen anything like that before, and have no idea what it is. U104 is the same type of thing. Given the size of the traces and caps near them, I assume they're power-related, and that's why they have such a huge package. Maybe some sort of regulator?
