    If being part of the awesomeness that was Theremin Day wasn’t enough since 1st May, and running until 16th May fizzPOP have been in residency at The Lombard Method.

  • It’s Just Noise!

    As readers of my blog will know by now you can easily import any data into audacity and play it as audio. However, most data that you’ll import and then play will just turn out as noise. That is simply because there’s too much noise in the image i.e. too many colours and too…

I don’t have a Windows or Mac PC so I can’t test it on those Sox. On Ubuntu you can install it via sudo apt-get install sox Convert, which is part…

  • Moo mini cards

    I’m not sure why, but I’ve never had business cards…. until now (sorta). I’ve just finished designing these eight: As expected databending played a big part in their creation as did a bit of post processing. Time to get them printed!
