Hideki Matsutake - Private Studio Tour (2008)

Hideki Matsutake, considered by some people to be the true genius behind the sound (not the music) of Y.M.O, shows us around his personal studio and how much he obviously still enjoys synthesis. He began his professional career as an apprentice to Isao Tomita at the age of 19, was the "sound programmer" for Yellow Magic Orchestra through their golden age, released his solo material under the name "Logic System" (The "Venus" and "Logic" LPs are my personal recommendation) and is now the head of the Japan Synthesizer Programmers Association.

Fourier Telescope




In 1868, Hippolyte Fizeau realized that the lenses and mirrors in a telescope perform a physical approximation of a Fourier transform. He noted that by using an array of small instruments it would be possible to measure the diameter of a star with the same precision as a single telescope which was as large as the whole array — a technique which later became known as astronomical interferometry.

In a 2008 paper, Tegmark and Zaldarriaga proposed a telescope design that dispenses altogether with the lenses and mirrors, relying instead on computers fast enough to perform all the necessary transforms. His concept is an all-digital telescope with an antenna consisting of a rectangular grid. Building radio telescopes this way should become feasible within a few years if Moore's law continues to hold. Eventually optical telescopes could also be built this way. This technique is already being used in radar applications.

Joseph Kosinski - Tron Legacy Trailer (2008)

Trailer for the forthcoming sequel to TRON. Unfortunately not being directed by Steven Lisberger, no score by Wendy Carlos and also a sad loss (updating) of the 90 degree turning light cycles. Fingers crossed on this project... Visit the amusing FLYNN LIVES site HERE.
