21 minute Tron Legacy Soundtrack preview

Teaser of Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack

I don't know if I've mentioned it already but Daft Punk are scoring the Tron Legacy film and you can here a 6 minute teaser here: http://www.waltdisneystudiosawards.com/tronlegacy/music.php

Some of it's actually quite orchestral rather than digital. "The duo assembled a symphony of eighty-five world-class musicians in London and recorded the orchestra at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain's premier scoring facility." Which also might explain this:

iPad Djay

Ooh I love the idea of this app for the iPad. Maybe I should get one after all? Djay on the iPad obviously has it's flaws compared to a multi sound-carded Mac; being able to play music from different channels being the main one. But audio beatmatching aside I still think this is great and the auto beat-matching feature makes it great for novices like myself.

iPod nano watch

At first glance you'd be forgiven in thinking that this idea is a bit shit. But the idea that a watch is also an iPod, Multi-Touch, color display, long battery life, MP3, radio, photos, pedometer and Nike+ is quite cool. I love my iPhone but it's a bit of a pain holding on to whilst running unless you get one of thos stupid armbands. And you'll never be stuck without music. And it comes in red too! If you want one pop over to kickstarter.

Tee Synth

Today I put on my synth Tee which has various Moogs, Korgs and the like. It looks cool (I think) but none of them actually work. Never fear ThinkGeek has the solution; a wearable synth and amp. Genius. Dry ice optional. More at Engadget.

Get well soon

Think Creature Comforts meets embarrassing bodies "Get Well Soon" makes you wince as you laugh. It's based on real interviews conducted with regulars at the The Clock House on Leather Lane in East London, the project captures examples of personal injury including impalings, drive-by assaults, sex injuries, and even people ironing their own legs. Ouch.
The project premieres in London at Shoreditch club XOYO on 2nd December, but if you can’t wait to wince, check out a short selection of clips above.
Thanks Design Week.

See me Godammit!

I know cyclists are despised on the roads, but this time of year it's really tough. First you have to contend with the weather, then there's pedestrians and cars pulling out in front of you. I've got 2 bright lights and now lots of reflective Scotchlite stickers (including the design above) and STILL I'm invisible. I've just added red LED valve caps that come on when it's dark and there's movement. I'm hoping I'm going to be a bit more visible now with red illuminated flashing wheels like this guy below...

Derezzed

Daft Punk's latest tune 'Derezzed' is from the new Tron Legacy film I keep harping on about. It looks and sounds so good I can't wait until it comes out next month.

Derezzed

This is a still of Daft Punk and their tune Derezzed from the new Tron Legacy soundtrack. Apologies for not embedding the video directly, but I don't know how to do that on an iPhone. I'll post it tomorrow.

Robot Romance "I'm here" by Spike Jonze

I've just come across this short 30 minute film by Spike Jonze. Jonze is an idol of mine ever since I first saw the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' and Weezer's 'Buddy Holly' music videos. He's also the main man behind TV show Jackass and full-length-feature-films 'Where the wild things are' and 'Being John Malcovich'. 

'I'm here' is about an alternative world where robots live among the rest of the human population. It has an eerie sub-context that although sometimes dark, makes you wish the world was really like this.

It's also free to watch over at imheremovie.com 

“Wendy, I’m home!”

If we don't, remember me is a great Tumblr site of hypnotic Film GIFs. This is my favoutrite from the Shining.

Thanks to Grom Blog.

Devilrobots + Tokidoki

Just bought these two vinyl robots that I saw at the Kid Robot store in Covent Garden earlier this month. They are Astrodemonio (left by Tokidoki) and Evil King (right by Devilrobots) and are about 8-9 inches high. I got mine off eBay but you can get them straight from the PI store.

My little piece of privacy

This simple idea and the great lo-fi 8 bit music made me smile from ear to ear.

Flock and Roll

I've got a good friend's wedding tomorrow, so although it's a Friday I've stayed in and created some desktop wallpapers for my new iMac. This is my favourite: Flock and Roll!

Light Bike

I'd love to be creating concept work like this from i09. Instead I'm mainly Art Directing e-Learning courses :(

Tron toys

The Tron Toys look great; especially the light bike. More over at Gizmodo.

My Other Ride Is a Light Cycle

Threadless is always a good place for Tees and Hoodies and I'm loving this Glow in the Dark tron design.

The Three Amigas

It's been a long time since I've created any new illustrations; so here we have Electro-Folk band The Three Amigas.

World Cup Football - sponsored by Nike

Only a few weeks to go until the World Cup so this is a small deviation from the robots, music and graphics - but I love this advert from Nike showing the highs and lows of the beautiful game.

New Tron Legacy Trailer

Wow this looks good. Decemeber 2010!

Tron Munny

I love tron and I love vinyl toys so when I got a glow in the dark do-it-yourself Munny I thought I'd combine the two. I haven't quite finished it yet, but I've done the helmet.

New Daft Punk tune?

I can't wait for the Tron Legacy film especially since I heard the soundtrack is to be composed by Daft Punk. I stumbled across this track the other day which supposedly is a leaked tune from said soundtrack. Whether it is or not the French Robots and whether it is pr not from the Tron Legacy OST remains to be seen (or heard?). But it certainly sounds like it could tick both boxes and got me excited about this film all over again.

And in case you haven't seen the awesome trailer here it is again:

IPad, Kindle, Ebooks, tablets and the future of the magazine?

With the recent hype surrounding Apples latest must have gadg, I was interested in how magazines and in particular how graphic design may evolve onto such devices. With the faux page curls, slightly textured paper of the iBook app on the iPad I think Apple have gone for a bit of a cheesy design UI. Bonnier and their prototype Mag+ system of design have got it pretty much nailed in my opinion.

The first thing about Robot club is you do not talk about robot club

Japnanese + fighting + robots = awesome. Challenge the CAD!
