Voimaduo in the house.

Posted in music on January 30th, 2010 by peeba

Here’s something me and Jyri U. managed to produce in Ableton Live in two evenings: one for the music and another for editing the video. The instruments used in the song are all sampled from various sources and we used a more or less similar approach to editing the video. It’s epic!

A few songs.

Here’s some electronic music that I’ve done in the last few months. Pretty random stuff.

Scribbling lines

Posted in 2D, art, code on September 20th, 2009 by peeba

Here’s some work from the last two nights: a duo of processing applets that scribble lines. Pretty exciting, huh?

Check them out here:

Here’s a few images I created with a custom .pdf exporting versions of the programs:

Back from Assembly 2009 and other things

Posted in 2D, 3D, art on August 9th, 2009 by peeba

Assembly, the biggest demoscene event in Finland, was held again during the last few days and I had a few entries there again. My graphics entry that I scribbled on my vacation a bit over a month ago placed sixth and my fast graphics piece placed second. I’m pretty happy with the outcome but what I’m more happy with is how this time around I felt like the people who voted were not completely stupid :). That means, no joke entries or technically inadequate (read: ugly) pieces got voted high and all the entries in these categories got pretty much what they deserved in my opinion. Here’s my entries:

I’ll leave it as an excercise for the reader to figure out which picture is which. Oh, and the theme in fast graphics was “over the edge” and time limit was 1h 30min. Talking of fast graphics, here’s another fast graphics thingy (3dsmax + photoshop) I did just for fun a while ago:

I’ve also been playing around with Processing quite a bit lately but in a more educated manner than previously with the help of an excellent book. If you’re a programming noob such as me, I can heartily recommend it. Anyways, maybe I’ll have something cool to show you soonish.

It’s an awesome place.

BrokenPictureTelephone is awesome!

Posted in 2D, art on May 14th, 2009 by peeba

BrokenPictureTelephone is a game about miscommunication. Everyone remembers the game of broken telephone from their childhood, right? This is very much like it but with drawn pictures thrown in between written descriptions. First a player writes a piece of text, then someone draws an image of the text, then someone describes that picture and then someone draws again and so on. And of course participants only see what the previous player has written or drawn. And in the end when a predefined number of rounds have been completed, the whole game is revealed and almost without exception the results are amazingly hilarious. Try it out, it’s free, fun and inspiring!

You can check out all the games where I’ve drawn in but I’ve picked some of my favorite pictures I’ve done this far here. Of course to get the full enjoyment, these should be viewed in context but I think these are kinda neat even as complete non sequiturs.

Subspaces – a progressive psytrance mix

Posted in music on May 2nd, 2009 by peeba

I’ve been ravaged by an eye infection during the last two days or so and it inspired me to mix some progressive psytrance again. I don’t know why.

I’m actually quite happy with the mix myself and I think the timings were kinda solid this time around too. To celebrate the fact, I decided to do some simple cover graphics from an old Holga photo of mine and name it properly. So I present to you: Subspaces.
