damage’s razor coated candies 05

Monday averted, oubliettes, sinnerettes, barbitchuettes, freakalicious bastard breakers, orgasm fakers, gashers, gapers, arise! After all the technical trouble of the last weekend, here's a new edition of Damage's Razor Coated Candies for you, from electroclash to weird ambient. Something to make friends and enemies with.

I'm still looking for station ID makers. Chicks preferred. Ten-fifteen seconds of showing hearts, papers, CDs, satanic cleavage, half-devoured death masks and stuff are needed. On Youtube. So. Contact me. Now.

KIÁRUSÍTÁS (KÖNYV, DVD)

Életem legrövidebb és leglényegretörőbb blogposztjainak egyike. Elköltöztem és túladok a cuccaimon, vigyétek. Halom könyv meg DVD, egészen olcsón. Pesten lehet beszerezni őket tőlem, nem postázok, csak ha valaki többet akar. Nem tárolok el "szerintem majd kell, ha lesz pénzem vagy majd ha egyszer Pesten leszek" üzenetekre dolgokat, a tapasztalat azt mondatja, hogy ezeket sosem viszik el az illetők. Kösz a türelmet, itt a Google docs adatbázis, egyétek. Amíg itt láttok valamit, addig beszerezhető.

KIÁRUSÍTÁS, VEDD MEG DAMAGE EREKLYÉIT (lófaszt, csak erre odafigyeltek)


mondo: a 2011. áprilisi szám tartalmából

A mai naptól a Relay, az In Medio és a Tesco újságárusainál kapható egy triplapresszó áráért (790) az új Mondo, erről havi szinten bővebb híradást fogtok kapni, mert a szerkesztőség promógremlinjeit elvitte a busójárás meg a sugárban bele a tízezer éves hamvvederbe. Az áprilisi számban megemlékezünk a fukushimai tragédiáról (azért az egészen szomorú lenne, ha nem így lenne) és fókuszálunk az élőszereplős animékre.

Egészen vegyes dolgokat látok most a tartalomvázlatban, van például Blood live action, Usagi Yojimbo, Deltora Quest, A királyi ház titkai, Túléltem egy japán vetélkedőt! 2. évad, Verhetetlen Banzuke, Yawaraka Sensha, Ooran Kookoo Host Club, emellett recept, japán nyelvlecke, DVD- és könyvbemutató, cosplay, original artok, a zenei blokkban Girugamesh és Nana Kitade, Square Enix bemutató és vigyázat, génmanipuláció konzollal!





A havi Damage Report most tíz oldalban jelentkezik, kaptok két oldalt a Wolverine sorozatról, a többiben pedig a szokásos zene- és játékajánló, kitérünk a lokatív média csodáira, megnézzük, mi van az aktuális Philip K. Dick-adaptációkkal és a Tron-sorozattal, illetve egy oldalnyi editorial, in loving memory of Japan. Köszöntem. Vegyétek. (mondomagazin.hu)


how to represent Ghost in the Shell's cyberspace with a Kinect

Celebrating the 3D re-release of "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society"from March 26, Kayac Inc. has created a special promotional booth that places you right inside cyberspace.

Using Microsoft's Kinect Sensor visitors can interact with the virtual anime landscape in the Cyberspace System using just body gestures and movement. Your mission: Locate and capture the Tachikoma character in the cyberspace. Be warned, you only have a limited time!

No joysticks, no controllers, no buttons…Float freely through cyberspace just by twisting your body to turn, leaning forward or back to shift perspective, and placing one step in front or behind to move. You can finally "capture" the Tachikoma by sweeping down with one arm. (via vimeo)

dancing with invisible light

A series of interactions with Kinect's infrared structured light. With these images I was exploring the unique photographic possibilities presented by using a Microsoft Kinect as a light source. The Kinect - an inexpensive videogame peripheral - projects a pattern of infrared dots known as "structured light". Invisible to the eye, this pattern can be captured using an infrared camera. The Kinect uses the deformation of this dot pattern to derive 3D information about its subjects (an ability which has already spawned an explosion of incredible digital art). (Audrey Penven's photography, via technabob)


child of eden - white gloves trailer

The actors in the trailer appear to be wearing white gloves - something that Mizuguchi's done in the past when showing Child of Eden's Kinect version at gaming events. This makes us wonder if white gloves are required. Mizuguchi tells Kotaku that white gloves are not required for Child of Eden, but wearing them can lead to "magic time". (via kotaku)


new hawken footage - mechas more claustrophobic than ever

Orihaus sent us a video the other day claiming New Hawken footage out, and boy does it feel claustrophobic in those mechas... and he's damn right, it feels way more along the line of Mechwarrior 2. Until further notice, rock on with these (hawkengame.com, via rockpapershotgun from Orihaus on Twitter)


damage's razor coated candies 04

More ROCK, rage and leathered and laced up beauties in the new edition of Razor Coated Candies. Which has been going on for a month now. No experimentation this week (personal post coming up later as to the reason behind the no experimentation, the delay and the non-posting of the past weeks), only a few earfuls of some decent stuff that caught our attention this week. Thanks to all of you who helped with their ideas to get this one going, you all know who you are! Now I'm scheduling this post to sometime during the late morning hours and falling asleep before... By the way, this is a Dragontape.

paris atomic - the nuclear panic fashion video

On March 23 2011, the radioactive cloud coming from FUKUSHIMA, Japan - reached Paris’ sky.
After TCHERNOBYL, Paris undergoes its second atomic crisis. Ever magazine, through Julien Bachelet, Laure Lou Tardy Joye and Freon’s work, illustrates this event with an artistic video symbolizing nuclear panic.

tron-like house of future on a beijing mall

LAVA's Home of the future is a showcase for future living with man, nature and technology in harmony. Home of the future will be built later this year on the rooftop of a new shopping mall in Beijing. An artificial sky dome will provide a year-round microclimate that opens up the home to a tropical garden filled with sun, light and fresh air, an oasis in the city. The fluid design and organisational strategy based on the structure of cells is easily adapted to suit specific requirements. Visitors will experience 15 different living spaces, from internal/external bathroom zones, to kitchens flowing to veggie patches and outdoor decks, to sunken bedrooms with dream-inducing lighting.

[polish spaceship europop] ambulans - wiem ze

They play glowing, futuristic instruments in space, where asymmetrical hair is totally awesome. They're . . . Ambulans, a Polish band from Kielce, whose new song "Wiem Że" will remind you that Italo disco never died, says Annalee Newitz of IO9 and she's right, that's another fantastic example of MORE visually Tron-inspsired music videos. Come to think of it, the whole Tron franchise had a visual inspiration over things, ne? (via io9)

last minute: hattól interjú a tiloson

Aki még nem kattintotta volna meg a Facebookon az event invite-ot, ma este hattól leszünk a Tiloson, téma a Dragontape, startupok, videoDJzés, videoremixek, kontent-újrahasznosítás (a gimnáziumi nyelvtantanáraim itt sírnának szerintem, akkor főleg, ha tudnák, hogy ezt egybe akartam írni), a háttérben lehelletfinomságú techno, a stúdióban adogat Tölgyes László András, akit a vájtfülűek a Lautrecből (is) ismerhetnek, fogadó oldalon a Szakál Brothers meg jómagam, úgyhogy tune in, frivolous fuckers of the interwebs: vagy tilos.hu vagy 90.3 FM és oda ne merjetek jönni a stúdióhoz (az Iparművészetivel szemben saccra), csak derűsen habzó energiaitallal, derűvel!


decode:recode (final)

The final version of our recode of the V&A Decode ident - now with audio.

The decode logo is formed from 250,000 cubes which separate, swarm and flock like tiny futuristic cuboid fish.

It runs in realtime on a (high end) consumer PC, and it's even a bit interactive.

damage’s razor coated candies 02

Hello, joyful readers looking for new music. The second etape of razor coated candies is out, which is a weekly edition of 21 tracks ranging from black to another shade of black (and very intense, rumbling, bass- and melody-heavy and otherwise quite enjoyable inbetween). There is a huge mixture of genres, last week's RCC meandered from darkpop through cabaret and ambient to electrohouse, this week's edition might be a bit more influenced by gothic, but I wouldn't be so sure. Be prepared - every Thursday brings you a new edition (something Miss @Toyclouds called endre kabátolt cukorkák which sent bits of our brain Sputnikwards), share this Dragontape package if you need some weekly recommendation into the blissful waves beyond the mainstream maya.

planck: another music-based videogame. like audiosurf. only with more silk.

Planck is a new type of music game that’s not predicated on your skill at shooter mechanics or timed button presses. Instead, Planck allows you to explore brand new compositions in an interactive format.

In the strange Planck universe, everything is made up of small particles known as “motes.” Each mote is contains a unique signature vibration– its wave form.

The wave form of each mote can be released by collapsing its wave function, otherwise known as “pinging” it. By pinging many motes in succession, you can create repeating structures of sounds.

As you choose to release certain types of waveforms, the space around you responds to your actions, sending you new sounds to add to your musical performance that relate to the direction you’ve chosen! (shadegrowngames.com, via igf.com)


♫ angelspit - toxic girl (censored teaser)


Looks like a slick deadcityesque teaser for the Angelspit track Toxic Girl. It's not just green and rolling in hi-def, it's also done by a buddy of mine, Tamas Mesmer with whom we've done the cyberpunk short movie 14sec. Tom's a freak and a great lover of oldschool cyberpunk, so I'm sure he's got something positively weird coming out from under his claws, especially that it's approved by the riot squad of ROCK. So there's a trailer, the full version (there's a censored and an uncensored version, as Tamas informed me) is probably coming out in a week or two. Until that, order the remix album Carbon Beauty (Toxic Girl is track 11 on that CD), check out the stuff done by Mr. Mesmer on Vimeo and see whatever else Angelspit has got to offer you.


hawken: mechwarrior is back on the unreal 3 engine

Adhesive Games is developing a new Mech Combat FPS. All clips in this video were captured from actual network game matches. The third person shots are from a spectator camera, gameplay is first person. We expect to release a first person gameplay trailer soon. (via hawkengame.com)

This is practically everywhere on indie game sites, normal game portals, mech fanatics (and I think Ripla and Tlvlp also sent me a note about this) and people who love a decent engine-based tetsuo fuckromp across a steel sky dented with dead neon ads and a decent green tint, meaning all is lost but we still have enough fuel to get your ass kicked. And the excuse in the top left corner about this build not representing the full quality of the alpha? Giive me a fucking break there. I'd be so content with having this game in its state on my 360. One thing, though: I miss the claustrophobia of a living humanoid grave prosthesis. Make it more closed and more tense, like the original Mechwarrior 2. Seriously.


♫ lovett - eye of the storm (steampunk, almost movie-like)

Official video for Lovett's Eye of the Storm directed by Christopher Alender, from the soon to be released debut album, Highway Collection. (it might have been released on the 15th of March, so it's already out, but this is a steampunk lovechild of ROCK and you know you need it)
