This is my first attempt at capturing the glitch created by my circuit bent Master System 2 running Sonic the Hedgehog.

I was originally inspired by this video which seems to be one of the very few examples (which I could find at least) of a circuit bent Master System:

I have recently stumbled upon a small group of hackers in Birmingham that seem to share the same fascination with electronics and hacking devices together that I have. I hope to attend one of their upcoming sessions to actually meet some of these in person – rather than just follow them virtually. Their blog is an interesting read of projects they are tackling and the resources page pulls together some genuinely useful links. Anyway have a look at http://www.fizzpop.org.uk and get inspired.

Here is a recently finished piece of music called “Spitfire Island”. An ambient piece of modern electronic music from the Gary Judge music making machine.

I have been recently messing with creating electronics in an attempt to make my own noise making devices.

The Sorbet Punk Console is the first instrument to be born from these experiments. ENJOY!

Please have a listen to my latest creation Insect Bytes.

Yesterday, A nice chap from Microsoft spoke to some colleagues and I about some new toys being developed under the Live Labs banner.

I was extremely impressed with Photo Synth and decided to take some snaps to see how easy it is to create a “synth”. With a Live ID you can upload a series of over lapping images and the software stitches them together is a Psuedo 3D way which enables you to explore the environment. The upload takes a while (around 50 minutes for 42 photos), however this is to be expected. Here is my first “synth” taken at the woods near to where I live.

I have just installed the lovely Flickr widget from http://eightface.com/wordpress/flickrrss/

You can now see some of my photos taken with my recently aquired Nikon D60 camera. These photos were taken in Birmingham city centre on Sunday 13th of September.
