Phlow Mixtape: Fall Is For Lovers

Did I mention this amazingly well-researched mp3-netmusic-electronic-pop-mixtape by phlow?

It’s definitively worth a download! Especially for those 8bit-lovin people (though it’s neither 8bit nor 16bit). Oh, and I know that its not fall anymore, but it still works for spring!

Data Transfer through Sound

Today, I stumbled across this article that investigates into using sound as a transfer medium for digital information.

Though this is actually a very old and commonly used method for transferring files back in the 90s (we did this via tty telephone modems), it is kind-of pleasing to see this idea popping up again, and triggered some thoughts about it’s usefulness in cooperative livecoding situations.

Yes, it would be really fun not have to setup wireless LAN that invisibly and–for the audience–almost magically transfer information from one laptop to another, and, instead, having some sort of musical/non-aweful sound that transmit additional information from one laptop to another.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of this in the SuperCollider / LiveCoding community, but I think it’s worth!
