Ulysses 31 recreation

This U31 recreation is genius! Love it – massive Ulysses 31 fan here (DJ NoNo is named after the robot after all), dunno how I missed this….

Great apart for two things: the lipsync is far too good :-P one of the charms of U31 was the terrible dubbing from French to English with the eternally sarcastic and out-of-time Telemachus especially, but no way Ulysses would actually be in sync! Another is minor, but shame no real beard for Ulysses. Love the floating dolls, MB Simon Shirka, sparklers and umbrella shield especially…amazingly close to the original. (via Ian Lloyd)

Projections go 3D

Love this dance/projection by princemio, which is done with open source code and Kinect cameras. Found this on Create Digital Motion when looking for details on how this amazing Korean video projection mapping locking dance might have been done (there have been similar things from Beyonce – well originally Lorella Cuccarini, she copied it).

Seems the VJ/projection world is undergoing a revolution!

And for another amazing example of this, similar to the Kinect but from 2010 is Apparition by Klaus Obermaier & Ars Electronica Futurelab – pure art.

RIP Romanthony & Rauhofer

Surprised to hear of two house producers deaths over the last day or so – Romanthony aka Anthony Moore, better known as the vocalist on Daft Punk’s greatest moment ‘One More Time‘ (I’m not big on their dancier tunes, but that STILL does the business, and is a classic tune) has died earlier this month.

Also Pete Rauhofer died on the same day (why did the 7th of May hate dance music so much?) remixer and DJ who produced the remixes which were ALL over the gay scene in the 90′s, usually the more ‘tribal’ or trance/hard house I’m really not into, but I did like his work with the Pet Shop Boys, such as the Break for Love cover.
