Simple text Bicing query updated!

Posted on August 27, 2011 by JP

The guys at Bicing have recently updated their system. Unfortunately, that change affected search apps which use to depend on the older system. Some months ago I published a simple text query for Bicing, and today I updated it to work with the changes… just before the Bicing guys updated their official iPhone app! Well, a day is not too much, but if you can’t wait (or don’t have an iPhone, or want to query the bicing from a computer), the Simple Bicing Text Query is ready!

Stickers!

Posted on August 17, 2011 by JP

I have always been a fan of stickers. However, I tend to keep them in store waiting for “the right place” to put them on. Unfortunately, this time never comes and they get lost or spoiled. But this time I have promised myself this is not going to happen. I have a 50-pack of Moo’s Sticky Labels, and I’m reeeeally going to use them. As a proof, here’s my first one:

Multitouch Interface for Audio Mixing

Posted on May 25, 2011 by JP

I’ve been wanting to share this for a long time but just now I have the right material for showing it. A paper based on my master thesis title Multitouch Interface for Audio Mixing was accepted for the NIME2011 conference, and I had to prepare a poster. Then it made perfect sense to create a website, and at least a video too. For more information on the project, follow this link. I’m planning to add the paper and more information after the proceedings get published.

New EP: BadBoy!

Posted on April 27, 2011 by JP

This is the first single of a forthcoming album I am working on. The track listing and a brief introduction to every song:

The main theme: BadBoy
1×1 which is a cover from a now defunct band called Polaroid (in which I used to play)
Another version of BadBoy (Wasted)
And a instrumental song titled Nunca podremos deshacernos del ruido (We’ll never get rid of noise).

The illustration of the cover was made by d.s.c., a friend of mine. He’s an excellent photographer, you can see his work here.
I hope you enjoy the songs!
