Flying insects are unwelcome visitors at outdoor nighttime events, but Canadian artist Paul Walde relies on them for his Composition for Light, Percussion and Ultrasound. Walde arranges a cluster of tom-tom drums containing high-powered lights that shoot beaming columns into the sky, then mikes and greatly amplifies the sound created by moths as they flit into and skitter across the drumheads.

The Future of Artist Collaboration, via soundcloud:
Imogen Heap has been a longtime SoundClouder and always on the forefront when it comes to finding new ways to engage and connect with her fans. Recently she answered some of the questions her fans recorded for her: http://ask.imogenheap.com
Now for her new album, she came up with another very interesting idea you should not miss. Let’s hear it in her own words:
My fourth solo album begins here, with you on the 14th March. You are the spark of inspiration. #heapsong1 is the working title of the first song from my new album. The album will be completed in roughly 3 years, with a new song released every 3 months as soon as it’s completed.
Imogen plans to put the songs out as soon as they are ready and keep them relevant to the time they are created. Then, as Imogen still wants to have another physical album to put on her shelf next to Ellipse, she’ll release the album for those who’d like to hold it.
And you can contribute in the making of the first track of the new album, that is pretty cool. Head over here to learn about how you can participate and tune in tonight at 6pm GMT for a live chat with Imogen herself.
Here’s the link to the PDF with all details and timeline for the new creation of the new record.

The Bob Moog Foundation’s Photos - Eric Persing’s OMG-1
Our friend, Eric Persing, designed the OMG-1 (which looks to be a combination of Moog synthesis, Spectrasonics virtual instruments, some hardware, 2 iPads and 2 iPods) and donated it to be the grand prize in an upcoming contest that will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation.
Kudos, Eric! Just awesome. :)
