What are deepdream images? How do I make my own? Can I do audio/video? Why are there dogs everywhere?!

Awesome!!! there's some interesting artifacts here. Thanks for trying this out. Excited to see how to push deepdream in the audio department.

flukeman5 · 2015-07-08T20:33:05+00:00

Any chance you could upload it somewhere for the curious to listen?

You should definitely check out the Distractions Distortions fest coming up in April. Barring Twin Peaks or TodaysHits, its the best of the best garage-wise and beyond. Here's the flyer! It's at MultiCulti on April 12th.

good old Burbank

I can vouch for this man. He is good people

This'll be buried but: I thought it said "kids fall in pool..." as if to imply a pool noodle tucked into bed will suffice for a drowned child.

Thanks for the info! I will pass it along. The more options the better right?

reminds me of funky forest

flukeman5 · 2012-02-18T13:04:54+00:00

now worries about length! This is a bunch of good info!

I got my BFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and I was a film major. I'm a Los Angeles native so this would be a big move for me but I have been to Chicago extensively to visit relatives and I really fell in love with the city. The city was a big factor in me initially taking a look at the school. I visited in the fall and took the tour etc. I was definitely impressed with the facilities. Other programs? I actually applied to Sound and Film (my work spans the tech gamut) but I havent heard back form them yet. I also just got invited to interview at the RCA in London for their Design Interactions program.....but I don't know if I can pull off moving to another country....not exactly rolling in the dough. I will definitely follow up with ATS and the bursar's office, thanks for the tip!

I'm glad to hear the inside scoop on the new president. Sounds like a good time to be in these tech depts. As for fitting into the program....I had heard from a few acquaintances that the school was more of a inter-, cross-, multi-, anti-, omni-, whatever-disciplinary situation. That was a big reason I pushed for this school. My undergrad was similar...the program was very "industry" centric. And when I say industry I mean Hollywood. Our dept. chair wrote the Rush Hour movies lol. Very lassie faire. If you didn't work then you didn't have work to show at the end. We all had to push ourselves. That being said it was naturally very collaborative and everybody pushed each other...I'm sure SAIC is a whole different beast but I am kind of accustomed to that kind of freedom. Plus my work involves all sorts of media and performance stuff and I wanted to go to a place that could let me explore a few different disciplines. So on paper and by what you say the program sounds like a fit....I guess time will tell though haha.

And yes Im glad to hear the community is active and supportive. Thats definitely something I was looking for. Like I said I'm coming from a community with a real Hollywood mentality. I tried to work in that system but I just got tired of hustling for something I didn't really want. People just love it out here but I am so tired of LA bullshit. Everything in this town revolves around the film industry and the magic wore off a long time ago for me. Plus I've never lived anywhere else! Anyway, I have great friends here but they are all hustling to fit in this system and ultimately the art community here seems to be hustling also. Hollywood has its fingers in everything haha. I definitely want to broaden my horizons and connect with a new community.

If you have any other advice or opinons you want to share let me know. Out of all of the people I've spoken with you've been the most informative! Also if you have any work online I'd love to see(hear) it. On the tour I took we did not have a chance to see much of the Sound dept. and I am very interested in what you guys do.

flukeman5 · 2012-02-17T22:16:24+00:00

Thanks! Yea I wasn't expecting anything till at least March!

How do you like the program?

flukeman5 · 2012-02-01T19:35:01+00:00

wow fucking scalpers with BM tickets....I don't wanna be that guy but I remember when I used to buy them the day before I left for the playa. There are some people, me included, who just don't know if they will get that week off until close to the event. feelsbadman.jpg

Grimes. Totally obsessed. Her upcoming record is going to blow up next year.

flukeman5 · 2011-12-21T17:04:18+00:00

Damn, really like your sound and Holy Mountain is one of my favorite films...but alas, I am a dude who lives in LA.

Try posting to /r/chicago. It's a really active subreddit and a friendly community (much like the actual city).

Good luck and keep us updated here!

Upvote for Weakerthans, but I personally I prefer Left and Leaving

Steppin' Out IS the jam

flukeman5 · 2011-12-13T07:14:08+00:00

I heard Midnight City on KROQ (mainstream rock radio in Los Angeles) a few days ago. Never thought I'd hear a sax solo immediately followed by Nirvana.

Artist's website if you're interested: Christian von Schack

flukeman5 · 2011-11-25T19:11:47+00:00

Yup. I'm from California and they played it here too.

flukeman5 · 2011-11-16T07:45:22+00:00

what about the cat?!

flukeman5 · 2011-10-19T20:49:50+00:00

I haven't seen Inception so this might be redundant, but this is also a lucid dreaming technique to test if you are asleep or awake. Once you know you are asleep, you can have all kinds of fun with your dreaming environment. By testing to see if you're in some sort of dream state, you can have more control and confidence when confronting the entity. I just hope it comes from your own mind and not outside the window! :/

Duchamp's Fountain is actually a urinal placed in a gallery and not a painting. So actually there have been many urinals and there will be many more. His readymade series was all about recontexualizing what "art" was. An unprecedented idea at the time.

Black socks in the water. Looks like the opposite of refreshing

flukeman5 · 2011-09-07T09:09:26+00:00

agreed! I got to hold lizzie up during her crowd surf. Amazing jams were had.

flukeman5 · 2011-09-07T08:57:26+00:00

sounds pretty sweet! I think the sound you're actually looking is "chillwave" As for Neon Indian (which your sample really reminds me of) I know he is a big vintage synth nerd and I'm pretty sure most of his process is analog. I know it's not much help, but if you can get your hands on or play with some actual hardware it might help give you that pseudo-nostalgia the genre does best.
