Now that I have the Game Boy Camera and Printer, LSDJ and will soon have the Transferer and 32M Cartridges I’m hoping to make something like this
One thing I also really like is this dance piece:
I would’ve like to have seen the dancers incorporate more erratic movement and even some sort of costumes (Princess Peach and Mario perhaps), but overall I think it shows that Game Boy Music isn’t just for the hobbyist.
The Institute of Psychoplasmics presents an offsite evening of live art. I’ll be taking part in it with the Insectoid crew!:
Empire and Daughter Isotope + Insectoid (offsite performance event)
A one off performance by Tai Shani featuring epic prog band Guapo and electroclash diva Angie Reed. Cannibalizing pulp film and fiction through black magic cult rituals, a mini mouse anti-sacrifice of twelve virgins is crowned by five tableaux of notorious Satanist Anton Lavey posing in nudist magazine Jaybird.
Insectoid’s hive colonise the stage and perform their own entomological rites, exploring insect behaviour to produce exoskeletal sounds.
8 May doors at 20:00, performance starts 20:30
Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old st. London EC1V 9LP
Tickets are £4 advance, £5 on the door and are available from The Pump House or via PayPal payment to psychoplasmics@yahoo.co.uk
Come along to it, even if you’re not in the London area!
Now I’ve got a Game Boy Printer as well. Not really needed for any projects, but it’s just a bit of fun! It’s amazing how awful the quality is, but at the same time that’s what makes it so cool!
I’ve finally updated to Wordpress 2.5. Great looking interface!
On a similar note I’ve finally decided that I’m going to develop my own Wordpress theme. Although I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to CSS and PHP I’m not really clued up on the structure of Wordpress, so have always avoided it. Here are my efforts as of today:
The overall idea is to create a Wordpress theme that is better suited to a portfolio website than a blog. In the long term I want to be able to have different layouts that are more typical of portfolio websites and also allow integration with Gallery2, which itself will have a modified display to suit portfolio websites.
That is, unless anyone can recommend an existing theme?
It’s surprising how hard it is to win a Game Boy from ebay. Nearly everyone wants one and because they’re usually sold in a bundle with other games and accessories it usually goes for about £30. Luckily I managed to get one from the Indoor Market for £5 and the Game Boy Camera for another £5. Schweet!
Like everyone else and their mother I’m hoping to get my groove on and make some music using programs such as LSDJ. I’m gonna get a Game Boy Pocket to make the actual music on, due to it’s bigger screen and better display, but according to some surveys the DMG has the best sound. So I’ll export it all using this one.
