S'assoupir

[kml_flashembed movie= »http://vincent.knobil.free.fr/media/tinyrv_24_s_assoupir » height= »28″ width= »150″ /] I wrote « S’assoupir » a couple of weeks back. It’s in French, and as of today, is only available on Radio Vince (and mini Radio Vince at the top of this page). I recorded the voice yesterday, but the instrument tracks were done while I was still keyboard-deprived. So I first…

mini Radio Vince

As an experiment, I’ve added a built-in, mini Radio Vince Flash application at the top of sknoblog. I’m not sure I like the idea: For one, I’m not so comfortable adding a Flash app to sknoblog, but at least, until you hit « play », it won’t use any CPU power, and even then, it shouldn’t be…

Merci Yann !

I « met » fellow frog and musician Yann Le Bihan over on the the OS X Audio forums a while back. I always enjoy his insightful, erudite, and humorous comments in the forum and in our private correspondence, and was very flattered and grateful (being prone to chronic creative self-doubt) when time and again, he has…

Meltdown follow-up part II

You might recall from my meltdown post that one of the options I was considering for replacing my dead MIDI keyboard was to try and rekindle my long lost love affair with Casio keyboards. There are new models of course, but they are rather expensive, and I’m not sure they have the vintage « cheese-factor » that…

Meltdown follow-up part I

Now that I got my « How I spent my summer vacation » paper out of the way, here’s a little progress report following the meltdown of my 20 year old MIDI keyboard… Being deprived of any way to input notes into my Mac via the MIDI protocol forced me to look for and discover possible alternatives.…

More playground impressions…

Well actually, having spent a further 3 weeks in the Playground of the Baby Giants following my week there last march, I have to say that I think I pretty much covered my impressions in the song. The cars are really giant, and when you drive a normal car, in my case a new beetle,…

Downtime

Free.fr, my Internet provider, will be physically moving some hardware between 1 am and 8 am on tuesday, august 30th Paris time (GMT+2 I believe) and sknoblog (and my « showcase site« , and my brother’s site, and who cares about the others) will be down. I just didn’t want my readers from faraway timezones (I don’t…

Meltdown

I’m back in old Europe and out of my mind due to sleep deprivation/jet lag. Yet I’m on a translation deadline. And I have to pay my taxes. And yesterday, my trusty (20 year-) old keyboard starts emitting the toxic smell of burning/melting electronic components. Even though I stopped using the keyboard’s internal sounds a…

Yahoo Audio Search

Just stumbled on this audio search engine. I obviously tried it on myself first 😉 and lo and behold, there I was, ready to be downloaded (from SoundClick and GarageBand.com where I have posted some of my stuff). So go ahead and go download my music from Yahoo Audio Search and spread the good word.
