Exploder
I decided to pixel some characters from some really cool doodles by Dom2D.
Drawing animal people is a habit I just can’t break.

This is a font that isn’t a typeface. Is kind of confusing but is a font that combining numbers you would get charts based on the percentage of those numbers. It’s a pretty interesting and easy solution, specially if you have to handle infographic on illustrator.
You just have to enable the ligatures on the open type section, you can check it here: http://myfonts.us/fE95HC
Automatic Music Hackathon: Music That Plays Itself
The topic of machines composing music can be thorny. It makes some people uncomfortable that computers can make music, because we think of it as such a human endeavor.
But when people make machines for making music, the result – as scientific as its process might have been – is art.
This weekend, at Etsy’s Brooklyn headquarters, several employees and both co-founders of The Echo Nest are slated to present their creations as part of the Automatic Music Hackathon. Their Friday night talks will be followed by a Saturday hackathon, where software programmers, musicians, and members of the automatic music community will build tools to create compositions to perform for each other that night.
Update: Brian Whitman posted some photos from Friday night.
This is going to be fun, for the digital music brainiacs who attend these kinds of things (RSVP here). Here’s the schedule of the talks, which kick off at 8pm on Friday, December 6, 2013.
Echo Nesters are listed in italics:
Drew Krause - “Two Violins” and the Lisp system that generated it
String Noise performs Drew Krause’s “Two Violins”
String Noise performs Jonathan Marmor’s “Jonathan Marmor”
Here’s the Automatic Music Hackathon flyer with the details you’ll need, if you’re in New York this weekend:
