EF ha contratado por fin a alguien decente para hacer sus anuncios. Los hermanos Johansson, que lejos de ser rubios, hacen pequeñas cápsulas para promocionar los destinos. De momento sólo tenemos Barcelona, París, Londres y Bejing, pero nos vale para ver de que va el tema. Intentan, insisto en el intentan, capturar la esencia de cada una de las ciudades de manera que pueda atraer a su público objetivo. En otras palabras, te construyen la historia de un guiri en X. Es una agencia de guiris para guiris y anuncios realizados por guiris. Normal que los chicos se bañen en Monjuic como Kylie Minogue, lo hacemos todas las semanas (vale, listillo, tu si). Da igual, era una crítica en positivo y se me esta yendo de las manos.

If you make music or follow artists like Daedelus you’re probably familiar with the Monome, the grid based OSC controller that gave birth to new ways of composing and performing music. The same people that make the Monome are back with a new controller, this time in the form of the Arc, a high-resolution OSC controller with two knobs which double as push buttons. Like the Monome before it, the Arc is beautifully designed, outfitted in the signature walnut/aluminum casing. At $500 I can tell you right now I’m not getting one, but the Arc sure is pretty to look at; that led ring is absolutely stunning.

Whenever I see an elegant interface like this I’m always left to wonder why we don’t have more control surfaces for Photoshop (I know people have found ways to control Photoshop with midi but I’m talking purpose-built controllers). Really, if Adobe were to open up to native osc or even midi support, we’d be off to a running start with all the pre-existing musical devices out there.

Here’s a video of the Arc and Monome in action:
