Yamaha Silent Sessions with HJ Lim

Tweet Yamaha Silent Sessions with HJ Lim Most of us listen to our music on the daily commute through a pair of headphones plugged into our smartphone. But that won’t do for chart-topping classical pianist HJ Lim. The South Korean piano virtuoso does things in style with a sleek, ergonomic Yamaha piano. There’s no shuffle mode for her, instead she gets to listen to her own sublime skills by plugging a pair of headphones into this cutting edge, acoustic-digital hybrid. This is all possible through Yamaha’s market leading Silent Piano Technology to enable the piano to be played silently using headphones. When the silent function is activated, the hammers will no longer hit the strings and instead, a highly sophisticated sensor-technology captures all movements of the keys and sends them to the digital tone module.

Beck’s: The Musical Beer Bottle

Tweet Introducing the world’s first playable beer bottle, by Beck’s in New Zealand, as an extension of their Record Label project. Thomas Edison’s original cylindrical phonograph was the inspiration for the project, with Beck’s attempting to fuse 19th Century technology with 21st Century music, this time on a beer bottle instead of a cylindrical tube! Then they had to design and build a record-cutting lathe, driven by a hard drive recording head, before reinventing Edison’s original cylinder player, using modern materials and electronics and built to the very fine tolerances required for what is now a glass record!

WTF Did I Just Watch?: Trippy 'Screengrab' Video

Tweet This is 'Screengrab', a video short made using multiple printed screencaps of some dude's hands, which then become part of the movie. At least I think -- I think that's what I watched. Honestly, I have no clue. Films are always hard for me and more often than not I'm left asking my friends what the hell is going on. I didn't even realize Bambi was the son of the deer that got killed at the beginning of the movie. Same goes for Simba. You know they should really make those movies a little more obvious considering they're for kids and all.
