Dance Jockey Promo HD
July 3, 2011 | Posted By: yagodequay | dance |Dance Jockey, composed of Ståle Skogstad and Yago de Quay, is an one-of-a-kind electronic music performance where sounds are controlled by sensors on the dancer’s body. These sensors acquire data about body actions and transmit the information to a software that manipulates a broad range of musical parameters. The result is an electrifying theatrical performance that re-contextualizes electronic dance music away from acoustic instruments and laptops towards an exciting live act.

About the Art:
Who never whispered a secret to a wind chime, or saw it scare off evil spirits will have the opportunity to do so on a massive scale. The Espanta Espíritos is an interactive sculpture that embodies the spiritual and physical features of a wind chime. This piece presents itself as a giant wind chime made out of recyclable material, the size of a person, and ready for outdoors or indoors. People can whisper secrets to the Espanta Espíritos, and through a microphone, it will keep these anonymous secrets forever. Natural wind, or a specially designed reactive fan, will cause the Espanta Espíritos to move, and then play these recordings through different audio effects, recreating the secret as if said by spirits. To enhance the illusion, phantasmagoric videos of those who whispered will be projected on the sculpture.Espanta Espíritos blends haptic, visual and auditory senses with the real, the spiritual and the virtual in one space. Elegantly simple, Espanta Espíritos seeks out user input – secrets and faces – and replays them, old and new, in a morphed and deeply moving way. Although this piece uses advanced technology, it preserves the ancient function held by the wind chime of attracting kind spirits, the secrets, and frightening away lurking evil spirits, the morphed sounds. It makes the private become public, yet unrecognizable. Constructs rich narratives from people’s secrets. Becomes wiser with time.
In its core, the goal behind Espanta Espíritos is to: 1) seamlessly unify old symbols with new media; 2) encourage community involvement in an artistic project, and; 3) Promote sustainable design.

Once upon a time, I was watching “Charlie the Unicorn” and decided to experiment with Googles Trancribe Audio option for this movie. What it did is transcribe all the speech into text – which resulted in a hilarious script.
So I decided to do a little experiment my self. Picked GREG RUTTER 1st funny internet youtube sensation “Grape Lady Falls” and had the audio transcribed. Got the script and fed it to ATT free natual voices with is an online text-to-speech service. Sliced up the audio, polished, and gave it some ambient. Mixed it with the original video and this was the result. The whole script was written by Google Transcribe Audio.+ Read more…
