~~~~~~~~~
There are some artists and bands that you know are going to make it far in the music world, and Quadron is one group that will do just that….

QUADRON (http://myspace.com/quadron) hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark was born when Robin encountered Coco at the suggestion of a friend. Already a name within Owusu & Hannibal and Boom Clap Bachelors, Robin was ready to continue his collaborations with some new adventures. In the ingénue of Coco he saw a female muse, influenced by Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, and the group was born.

Robin creates melodies with lush orchestration and deep beats, intellectual and crisp. Coco layers these with her voluptuous timbre, together completing the sound of Quadron. Five years have passed and Coco’s sweet soulful voice now perfectly accents Robin’s instrumental skylines. They are lush, lyrical and sophisticated. Quadron reminds us of the future, creating classics we’ve never heard before, but remember like our hearts knew them yesterday.

After the duo, who are also members of the soul collective Boom Clap Bachelors, enjoyed the accolades of the collective s debut Kort Før Dine Læber (2008); Robin and Coco began work on their own debut recording for Quadron. This lead to the release of their debut, Quadron in Denmark (August 2009). The record found it s way into the hands of Anthony Valdez, a DJ at the influential radio station KCRW. He immediately began playing the record and the rest of the DJ s followed. Since the end of 2009, Quadron has been a constant fixture in KCRW s Top 10 and this led to the duo signing to the Los Angeles label, Plug Research, whose roster includes Bilal, Dntel, Flying Lotus, Daedelus and more.

Robin has already enjoyed a long list of collaborations with the likes of Aloe Blacc, Om mas Keith, Buraka Som Sistema, Wally Badarou (Talking Heads, Level 42), Erick Sermon and others as well as being able to site such notable fans as Pharrell Williams (N.E.R.D.) and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). Now, along with Coco, Quadron becomes his next spectacular story!

CS5 | Ai, Ps :: HDR

Written by XARIUSOUND. Filed under Design, Software. Tagged , , , , , . No comments.

For photographers, Photoshop CS5 now offers next-generation high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities. When combining multiple exposures into a single HDR image, Photoshop CS5 preserves the full tonal range of a scene with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The new HDR Pro offers exceptional ghost artifact removal and greater tone mapping and adjustment control. With HDR toning, users can emulate the striking look of an HDR image with any single-exposure image.

Photoshop CS5 provides revolutionary tools that maximize users’ creative impact. Breakthrough painting capabilities include a Mixer Brush that blends an infinite combination of colors onto a single paintbrush tip, and Bristle Tips that offer lifelike brush strokes. Puppet Warp gives users the power to precisely reposition or warp any image element, such as straightening a bent arm in a photo or manipulating the landscape to generate a new perspective.

“Since its inception, Adobe Photoshop has been a key tool for pre-and post-production work in the motion picture industry,” said Jon Landau, Academy Award winning producer of Avatar and Titanic. “With Photoshop CS5 Extended, Adobe gives filmmakers new painting, HDR and 3-D tools that will help them push the limits of creativity. Faster performance with cross-platform 64-bit support and tight integration with other Adobe Creative Suite 5 software makes Photoshop CS5 an even more powerful tool in a filmmaker’s arsenal. Photoshop empowers filmmakers and creative professionals in virtually every other industry to turn their imagined ideas into onscreen reality.”

Screen shot 2010-06-07 at 9.52.02 AM.pngSo far so good.  Key benefits of this model over older WD Black drives (except 1TB FAEX) are that this has 500GB platters and dual actuator technology. Larger and multiple platters result in higher read/write speeds due to higher areal density, dual actuator means the drive heads can read data with greater precision and granularity.

I think there’s this essential human desire to have a unified field theory. But there is no unified field theory for Lost, nor do we think there should be. Philosophically we don’t buy into that. The great mysteries of life fundamentally can’t be addressed. We just have to tell a good story and let the chips fall where they may. We don’t know whether the resolution between the two timelines is going to make people say, “Oh, that’s cool” or “Oh, fuck those guys, they belly-flopped at the end.” But the fact that we’re nervous about it and that we’re actually attempting it — that is what we had to do. We had to try to make the dive.

Update

ABC’s send-off for “Lost” is starting to seem as long as a flight on Oceanic Airlines, not that its fans will mind. The network is extending the finale by half an hour, giving the producers two and a half hours in all, and delaying local newscasts that night, May 23. A total of seven and a half hours of “Lost” is planned that weekend, according to ABC’s schedule. First the network will rerun the two-hour pilot on May 22, at 8 p.m. Then on May 23, “Lost” takes over the schedule, starting with a two-hour look back at 7 p.m. The finale starts at 9. Then at 12:05 a.m., Jimmy Kimmel will host a special episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” titled “Aloha to ‘Lost,’ ” featuring alternative endings to the show and appearances by the producers.

Four-Core

Finally taking the jump to Four-Core.  All about Hyper-Threading. Though a bit late, this’ll be a work in progress for all my work (in progress).

Thanks again to all the help from tech gurus: C.mo, and Justin Rimando.  Also REL and Film Director B.Badion for the common sense.

———

The new Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors support Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. So an 8-core Mac Pro presents 16 virtual cores that are recognized by Mac OS X. Performance is enhanced because Hyper-Threading enables the processor to take better advantage of the execution resources available in each core.

Gigantic Baby Stars Discovered in Cloud of Space Dust

Written by XARIUSOUND. Filed under Science. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

The previously undiscovered protostars are the small points of orangey light in the center of the image. They are up to 10 times more massive than the sun.

The Herschel Space Observatory, operated by the European Space Agency, obtained the new image, which is a composite of three different wavelengths of light all in the infrared part of the spectrum. Infrared light waves are longer and scatter less than visible light, allowing scientists to probe dust-shrouded areas of space. In this image, the shortest wavelength is blue, the medium green, and the longest red.

The intense star-forming region of the Milky Way is about 5,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn. This image shows only part of the massive cloud of dust. If the whole thing, seen below, were visible to the naked eye, it would be large in the sky, appearing around five times the size of a full moon.

Now with a more mature sound and way of thinking, Jimmie wants to expand from the Bay Area to beyond.

An exciting live show, a powerhouse voice, and striking looks have earned Jimmie the right to be called a complete package.

These two albums we used to scratch & freestyle to. (Circa 2000).  We juggled on an old ISP mixer.  During this stage, people still used to session in backyards of house parties with their red plastic cups filled with jungle juice.  Some talented MC encounters, from every region. These memories live and stay golden.
