Today I came across Pixelform's website. He added knobs and switches to an old NES in order to control glitches manually. But he also made is own circuit with an jack input that enables real-time audio reactivity. Pretty cool for a chiptune live! HERE are the schematics and video examples.

Industry Canada did a music file sharing study during 2006-07. The goal was to to measure the extent to which music downloads over peer-to-peer file sharing networks, for which the sound recording industry receives no remuneration, affect music purchasing activity in Canada. The data used for this analysis are from a survey conducted between April and June, 2006, on behalf of Industry Canada. The report, found that music downloads have a positive effect on music purchases among Canadian downloaders ( Approx +0,5 album sold for each album downloaded.) but that there is no effect taken over the entire population aged 15 and over. Please read i you don't believe me.

Sebastian Tomczak aka Little-Scale is an australian artist who loves to deviate technology, ie. he develops his own tools to make music. In 2005, he created the Glitchcollective and has been a part of the milkcrate net.label for 2 years now. Want an example of Little-Scale's work? I highly suggest you to check is last release, entirely made with a homemade midi-controlled Sega Genesis ( aka Megadrive I ). You can download it HERE.
