<span style="font-family: inherit;">Grammy-winning British artist </span><a href="http://www.imogenheap.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Imogen Heap</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> says she's always been a bit frustrated by not being able to navigate computers and mixing boards with the same fluidity other musicians can play more traditional instruments. To solve this, she's "joined forces with the nerd underworld, creating musical gloves using new sensor technology allowing me to compose and perform music with computers in an intuitive way."</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />The first report on the gloves is back in 2011 when Heap debuted them at a TED conference. Now, the artist and her team of engineers and scientists are seeking funding for their "Mi.Mu gloves" through a <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mimu/mimu-glove-for-music/?ref=kicktraq">Kickstarter campaign</a> seeking to raise £200,000 (about $330,000 USD) to bring the technology to the masses.</span><a expr:href=""http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url="

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientists from the <a href="http://www.um.edu.mt/eng/sce/research/biomedical/braincomputerinterfacing" target="_blank">University of Malta</a> just create a software for making music that is controlled by the mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system is a communication system where a person has the ability to communicate with a computer through his or her brain signals rather than using the peripheral nerves and muscles. A BCI system effectively allows for the conversion of patterns of electrical brain activity into commands to control specific equipment. BCI technology relies on the acquisition of electrical signals generated by billions of neurones inside the brain. The electrical fluctuations that arise from these neurones reach the scalp where they can be detected and recorded by means of non-invasive metal electrodes through a process known as electroencephalography (EEG). In a BCI system EEG data is recorded from the human subject and this is then processed to extract reliable features which can then be mapped into computer based commands such as moving a cursor on a screen or selecting from sets of letters.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9r7g82Irzt50zVnFbvu7-RmSxbD6uT8IO5rMwX-q4wqgxe6I_lL52vmWdHbxBdbHBc9qoBttAPi1uydAnXEdXcicvtEeB8WeOLb4p19rhsTAnAvOgXAXDhR2lTL0GftAL0u8HsSMrss/s1600/Diandra_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9r7g82Irzt50zVnFbvu7-RmSxbD6uT8IO5rMwX-q4wqgxe6I_lL52vmWdHbxBdbHBc9qoBttAPi1uydAnXEdXcicvtEeB8WeOLb4p19rhsTAnAvOgXAXDhR2lTL0GftAL0u8HsSMrss/s1600/Diandra_1.jpg" height="206" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
The commands control the music player without the need of any physical movement; the user just needs to look at the right box. The program figures out where the user is looking through his or her brain patterns, allowing the music player to be controlled. </span><br /><div>
Just amazing!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Playing with your food is generally frowned upon, but very little is said about playing music with your food. Artists <a href="http://www.emiliebaltz.com/2014/01/lickestra/" target="_blank">Emilie Baltz</a> and <a href="http://carladiana.com/blog/" target="_blank">Carla Diana</a> are exploring exactly that concept. </span></span>Together with the musician Arone Dyer of <a href="http://www.bukeandgase.com/">Buke&Gase</a>.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their work Lickestra is a musical performance in which ice cream is used as the instrument. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It uses cones with embedded capacitive sensors. The ice cream sits within the cones and, when licked, causes the sensors to send an electronic signal to an attached Arduino board. The Arduino, in turn, feeds a computer on which a library of melody loops and beats is stored, and that controls the subsequent audio output.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Playing with the experience from tongue to taste, the performance presents a series of conductive ice creams that trigger various baselines and tones when licked.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From improvisation to orchestration, eater becomes performer as the primitive act of licking reaches beyond flavor perception to become an instrument for play.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today has died in Mexico, at the age of 66, reportedly of a heart attack while playing with his children on a beach, the great flamenco guitar player Paco de Lucia. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The whole music world lost one of the best musician ever!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paco de Lucia was born Francisco Sanchez Gomez on 21 December 1947, the son of flamenco guitarist Antonio Sanchez, who was of Gypsy origin. His stage name he took in honour of his mother, Lucia Gomes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is believed he had played the guitar from the age of five.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"My family grew up with the Gypsies," the guitarist stated in a 1994 article in Guitar Player.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"My father and all my brothers played guitar, so before I picked it up, before I could speak, I was listening. Before I started to play, I knew every rhythm of the flamenco. I knew the feeling and the meaning of the music, so when I started to play, I went directly to the sound I had in my ear."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the age of 18 he recorded his first album in Madrid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He was one of the first flamenco guitarists who has also successfully crossed over into other genres of music such as </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_classical_music" style="font-family: inherit;">classical</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz" style="font-family: inherit;">jazz</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. De Lucía was noted for his innovation and colour in harmony and his remarkable dexterity, technique, strength and fluidity in his right hand, capable of executing extremely fast and fluent </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picados" style="font-family: inherit;">picados</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>

Rest in peace Paco! And let the angels hear the sound your guitar!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now that's digit-al music: 'Intuitive' gloves allow wearer to make noises using hand gestures</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Engineering students at </span><a href="http://digital.music.cornell.edu/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Cornell University</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, New York, made the gloves that use a magnetic tracking system and can create virtually any sound</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Aura enables wearers to make music using expressive and intuitive hand gestures so that music lessons are not required.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Raising and lowering gloved hands controls pitch and spreading them apart increases volume. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By closing the fingers, the Aura wearer activates flex sensors and muffles the sound, while twisting the hands adds distortion that makes the noises produced sound extra futuristic. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through an interface created by Mr Ndubuisi, hand positions are converted to signals in the universal Midi language for electronic instruments and fed to a synthesiser.</span></div>

Last week, <a href="http://jonathancrosmer.com/" target="_blank">Crosmer</a> unveiled his solution to ear training, called <a href="http://playsebastian.com/">Sebastian</a>. It's named after Sebastian Bach, a well-trained ear himself.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdH2dNu0MH_AeDoJ3tHy3AybSaifKoWx007JJcmHgY51OJKB5QbLyEvJUnkWiKJwk3ZtS5wMiL-N6hdsBKrmPutTE_MwcTeSib8wsl06GTfw9DajqfQ4jUg7mCY-yTLUxsbD2yMR8wtKE/s1600/Johann_Sebastian_Bach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdH2dNu0MH_AeDoJ3tHy3AybSaifKoWx007JJcmHgY51OJKB5QbLyEvJUnkWiKJwk3ZtS5wMiL-N6hdsBKrmPutTE_MwcTeSib8wsl06GTfw9DajqfQ4jUg7mCY-yTLUxsbD2yMR8wtKE/s1600/Johann_Sebastian_Bach.jpg" height="320" width="259" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />The desktop program, available for Mac, PC and Linux, uses an on-screen keyboard and walks users through a series of exercises in which Sebastian plays two notes. The program gives students a visual depiction of where the first note is on the keyboard and then they must guess where the second note is. The difficulty continues to increase as it goes from single notes to chords to scales. The program also identifies areas where students are struggling and repeats those exercises while weeding out ones they ace.</div>

A part of the Bamboo Production was enjoying a nice trip in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels" target="_blank">Bruxelles</a>. <br />
<br />
Walking down from Place Royale to Grand Place a sound with all the features of what we mean with "Bamboo Production" caught me. And yes... the sensation was good.<br />
<br />
A beautiful installation, arranged by Lauren Taquin, Herve Brunet and Didier De Groef for the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BELYmDulzVE" target="_blank">Zinneke Parade</a>, allowed us to perform this video!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since we put a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nest_box" target="_blank">nest box</a> in our garden, a couple of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Tit" target="_blank">Great Tit</a> (<i>Parus major</i>) chose it as own home. They don't seem be scared of us and differently from our <a href="http://thebambooproduction.blogspot.com/2012/05/thats-art.html" target="_blank">neighbours</a>, they enjoy our music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, we got a quite sunny afternoon and we realized this timeline with a very nice framing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like all the our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt2B7DCwBP7qtOBzHkNhB8A?feature=mhee" target="_blank">videos</a> from the realization up to the upload on the web pass just a couple of hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The music is written and performed by Bamboo Santos in the while of the making of the video.<br />
The quote in the beginning of the video is from "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7epRPz0LGPE" target="_blank">Blackbird</a>" of The Beatles. <br />
<br />
Enjoy it!</div>

<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Lucarelli" target="_blank">Carlo Lucarelli</a> is a famous and serious italian journalist. He did some very good TV programs, facing off with a lot of shady italian mysteries, like the "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egQE53DP8_Q" target="_blank">Tangentopoli</a>" scandal and of the <a href="http://www.blunotte.rai.it/dl/portali/site/puntata/ContentItem-cd96dc6a-71cd-4bb6-95ab-2195e6da82b3.html" target="_blank">P2</a> lobby. But recently he has started a new TV program: <a href="http://www.film.it/film/almost-true-la-storia-del-rock-secondo-lucarelli/" target="_blank">Almost True</a>. Already the name have to get you in alert...<br />
In fact the show deals with the very fascinating life of numerous stars of the rock. From <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQEbQJx5Bo" target="_blank">Elvis Presley</a> to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT_xpFZe20A" target="_blank">David Bowie</a>, across big bands like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBZ9gSJxwQ0&feature=fvst" target="_blank">Led Zeppelin</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjq9LmSO1eI" target="_blank">Beatles</a>. Just about the story of the Beatles we are going to talk about. It heavy impressed the Bamboo Production up to chose the main character of the history as the founding father of the group.<br />
But in order...<br />
Listening Lucarelli we learned about the fact that the Beatles, starting from the 1966, was composed by four people: John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Star and... Billy Can! You read well guys! Not one of the biggest and brilliant musician of all the history but one anonymous canadian cop, <a href="http://www.livescience.com/4000-myth-rocks-premature-death-paul-mccartney.html" target="_blank">William Campbell</a>. <br />
According to the story narrated by Lucarelli, Paul McCartney died in a car accident in the November 1966 and it was replaced by the winner of look-alike contest, which being part of the FabFours and was the writer of some of most innovative and ultimate Beatles production.<br />
So the authors of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWuXmfgXVxY" target="_blank">Helter Skelter</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdopMqrftXs" target="_blank">Let it be</a> is not the baronet McCartney but his double, which had the chance to perform this incredible role-game into the shoes of one of the best musician of ever.<br />
<br />
Ok, so what the hell has the Bamboo Production to do with the canadian cop becoming one of the FabFour?<br />
Of course we don't believe that the genius author of "Yesterday" was a traffic police man.<br />
But Billy Can is the metaphor of the Bamboo Production. A people put in the contest of free-access to do music can make some good composition even if he never did before. Ok, maybe he couldn't make a masterpiece as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKIKmU1Tc5g" target="_blank">Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</a>, but at least a catchy music-video like "<a href="http://thebambooproduction.blogspot.com/2012/04/spider-song-spider-song-is-first.html" target="_blank">The Spider Song</a>".<br />
So, Billy Can from all the world let's play and share some nice music!<br />

It was a monday holiday afternoon. It was evening. We were watching a funny movie (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhFVZsk3XEs" target="_blank">The Hangover)</a> when someone saw our mate TheSpider involved in a delicious mosquito-based meal. The Bamboo Production soul came out immediately... Taken camera and guitar we performed a meta-composition about the gravitational meal of our buddy!</div>

"Second Dimension" is the second layer of the Multiple-Universe of Bamboo Production. From this point of view you can appreciated some details which were blinded from the global view, as the good reef played from the guitarist, at the time Bamboo Santos.<br />

On this video we had the opportunity to sync even the english subtitles.<br />

Several Asian cultures, including that of the Andaman Islands, believe humanity emerged from a bamboo stem. We have <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/origin.html" target="_blank">some doubts</a> about it. But we are so impressed from the generative power of the Bamboo (<a href="http://bamboobike.org/Home.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.bamboosaxes.com/how_to.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and from the broad use, both real and methaphoric, in differet human cultures.<br />
Bamboo was widespread used in early China as a medium for written documents (<a href="http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2012/04/26/Ancient-Chinese-text-goes-on-display/UPI-65721335482459/" target="_blank"><i>Bamboo Strips</i></a>).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now we would like to indroduce a new kind of communication : The Bamboo Video Strips.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This format contains a lot of features and skills of the Bamboo plant: the extemporaneous of the artistic production like the fast growing of the plant coupled with the longevity of the message thanks to web, the generative mithes like the infinite possibility of the creativity. At the same time our videos can make you bamboozle, because you can find in the state of mind to think "It's art...I guess".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, one of the main aim of this project is to try to overcome the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_Curtain" target="_blank">Bamboo Curtain</a>" of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3mAX5xdxo" target="_blank">web anonymity. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Bamboo's long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity, while in India it is a symbol of friendship. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For us is a symbol of symplicity, multivalence and creativity. And of course is the symbol of a lot of fun!</div>

"I see you green..." is a mature project of the BamboProduction. In fact it was produced one week after "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S1nD8wU0-c&feature=plcp" target="_blank">The Spider Song</a>". With this short movie the group homage to <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personaggi_di_Boris" target="_blank">Duccio Patane'</a> (at the time <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninni_Bruschetta" target="_blank">Ninni Bruschetta</a>) the great photography director of the TV series "Occhi del cuore" ("Heart Eyes").</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time this production marks a new direction in the artistic line of the group: shorter video, refers to basilar songs of the history of the Music and saturated lights (<i>Smarmellate</i>).</div>
