Musinaut have developed a device which uses sensors to determine your state of mind and changes the music accordingly. Apparently it uses their own MXP4 format and can only change certain aspects of the specially recorded track you’re currently listening to. Even though it’s certainly an interesting piece of technology, I’d personally prefer having the music changing my mood rather than the opposite.
last.fm keeps me locked in to the genre’s I’m already listening to by suggesting songs and bands similar to the one’s I’ve scrobbled, and now this device would lock me in to the mood I’m in by playing music according to my current state of mind. I’m sure you could override its choices but then you could just get a normal MP3 player instead, couldn’t you?
Regardless of how you feel about it, the headgear alone looks ridiculous and should be enough to make you buy an iPod instead. Still, the technology is pretty cool but I wish it could let me skip tracks using brainwaves instead.
Here’s the new 18 year old fidget house genious. Think Dave Taylor and Switch but with a cello studying background. It’s a combination that clearly works very well and makes me wish I’d play the cello.
My favorite track so far has to be Feed Me with its crazy mobile static noise groove. Phonesmack is out on Secure Recordings and you can have a listen to it on his myspace. Then get his releases from beatport — beatport’s interface is still awful so search for Munster once their 412kb website has finished loading and you’ve managed to navigate through their futuristic, yet 2001-ish looking interface. When you’re done, watch this interview:
What you may not have realized is that perceiving sarcasm, the smirking put-down that buries its barb by stating the opposite, requires a nifty mental trick that lies at the heart of social relations: figuring out what others are thinking. Those who lose the ability, whether through a head injury or the frontotemporal dementias afflicting the patients in Dr. Rankin’s study, just do not get it when someone says during a hurricane, “Nice weather we’re having.”
