Thanks to the support of MaxBotix, SOUND NOMADS can make use of some more excellent High Performance Sensors. MaxSonar-EZ1 sensors offer very short to long-range detection and ranging, in an incredibly small package, with ultra low power consumption. The sensor is a completely new design, yielding many improvements over traditional ultrasonic range finders.
For SOUND NOMADS, it turned out to be our most beloved and most versatile sensor so far.

Bakersfield - Sound Huntings unter widrigen Umständen. Warten auf Permission für Recordings und Shots auf Raffineriegelände. In letzter Instanz: Permission denied. Wir blieben am Ball: Sound Hunting auf engstem Raum im fahrenden Auto. Security auf den Fersen. Nicht jede Jagd gestaltet sich gleich erfolgreich bzw. einfach.

JUL 13: Über uns: Rauchschwaden. Vor uns: Sonne. Hinter uns: verpasst, Chevron Ludrow. Wir tanken dann für 4.699/gal. Nächstens dank Hartnäckigkeit auf gesperrten Sandstraßen ("Make sure you are the driver." Anyway, we didn't have to push.) durch die einsame Mojave Wüste. Tierreiches Camplager, also dann: sound recordings for breakfast.

Celemony supports the project SOUND NOMADS as a silver sponsor.
Celemony's sponsorship of SOUND NOMADS allows for many more creative and unique methods of handling sound materials and transforming noises into music.
The audio recording software Melodyne makes possible an unconventional and free creative way of accessing audio data. With Melodyne, for example, the pitch, timing, phrasing and formants can be edited independently of one another, arbitrarily and in highly awarded sound quality.
With SOUND NOMADS Melodyne Studio comes into play, a project feature and a statement on celemony.com is anticipated to appear by the end of the year.
Melodyne was presented for the first time in 2001, at the Winter NAMM Show, and has won numerous international prizes both for its innovative approach and for its fantastic sound quality.

Jan 27, hake fillet on white wine sauce. North Mensa. Pretty damn quick to the Charité: Fishbone in my throat. General anaesthesia. Night in Hospital. The next morning left for a presentation of the Art Director Club. The bone remained unfound (ostensibly common in this case) and presumably lost during the search with the doctors tools. Still have a sore throat, but will hopefully totally recover from the fish attack soon. BTW: Server uptime: exactly 356 days. Reboot.

Seeing as today is my birthday, I've decided to introduce a symbolic birthday donation. This year, the grand sum of 1 Dollar goes to ... Colin's current contest "Windows XP on an Intel Mac".
The Contest: Colin's MacBook is shipping on the 15th of February. He told his boss that this would replace his IBM desktop and he could boot Windows XP on it. He is still confident it can be done. He is pledging $100 of his own money and offering anyone else who would like the instructions on how to Dual boot these two operating systems the ability to donate some of their money into the pot as a reward for the person / group that can make dual-booting Mac OS X and Windows XP happen on an Intel Mac.
