...We wasn't going to invent any new music styles. We just recorded soundtrack for screencaptured video from our absolutely crazy project - 3d interactive enviro 'Nux'. We're just a few creative individuals and we started our first collabs from experimental music before starting Nux project. Nothing that each of us made before have not changed us as much as this giant project and this music. Everything else used to be made just in way of start/finish and go to drain small drink:) After all, at least everything that surround us is...

Also this is a CD/DVD-Cover tut. InkScape/GIMP installation instructions and links to sources and all additional files here.
This is a legally free open-source vector-image editor. For some simple work Inkscape is better than proprietary analogues like Corel Draw or Illustrator.
Open the svg-file (SvgGphX1.SVGZ) with Inkscape. This and other source files for this tutorial are here: https://app.box.com/s/hd77bxmpr93prpv93id2....

Regarding the new music style... We just were making musical accompaniment for video with our biggest project - "Nux" 3d virtual enviro. You can glance once at those video to understand that there can't be any 'usual' music:) And as we already engaged in graffity and experimental music, it was quite naturally to do something own.
We are trying to make music which would be designed for listening. Today, the most of the music which is proposed by music industry is appointed for dance, fitness, or everyday cooking on a kitchen....

This is screen-captured video from our greatest project - 'Nux' 3d-enviro. We - 'tonux.gix' are just few creative individuals and we make this in some chaotic way, some different way from 'start/finish and forget', and that's why it's still in the beginning stage. Sooner or later we'll probably share all the sources as a public domain. But at the current point we want to finish some things here. Besides other things we have some problems too - especially with files structure.
Last time lots of wonderful open-source game engines appeared, but...

Here's probably the most experimental soundtrack of ours. It's related to the 3d scene as well as to the screen-captured video. You can see the frames tensely vibrating in the start of the video. When we was making this, it looked like reality which we lived in until that moment was vibrating and disappearing in unknown way. It haven't returned yet by the way. It is somewhere behind, but after this experiment we already can see something else,...

Wnʞləʍ friends... this scene is available for download from ▹▹▹http://box.net/nux1i◃◃◃ It is already a bit "rusty" - won't run without python 2.5 on gnu/linux and untested on windows 9, but if it's not your case, then hope you'll enjoy!
This video demonstrates the mood of the scene, so one will be able to have an image of our ideas just from it. The music is some of the older fragments we used to create. And you can download some our newest soundtrax for your vids: http://soundcloud.com/tonux-gix

I want to share here my few ideas for making CD/DVD cover picture. After four steps you will have a simple design. The main thing here is that we gonna use fully functional graphic applications. Today there's a lot of utilities for making CD/DVD cover design, but thay have limited functionality. For example, you can't insert picture into a clipping mask or put text to custom free path. I use open-source free applications, and they're really...

A lot of things we do - we still do "manually", even on the computer. It looks like it's soon to change. And in 3d as well - we probably won't work directly with 3d mesh and textures. Probably, an operational artificial intelligence can be especially good in what we these days call game engine. Let alone quantum computers that can , for example, "see" an entire huge database all at once.
However, I believe, a lot of people will still want to know how it all works under the hood. So we've decided to share these screenplays. These aren't tutorials....

"Audacity" is the fabulous application - it's very good and absolutely legaly free open-source.
Here's where you can download it: http://audacityteam.org/download/

but check the record sourse.
To record, first of all press the pause button, then the record button, and then release the pause button.
In the end you...

With
this project we'll try to show different ways to open our own creative
activities and find people for creative collabs. We like to feel it when
every small thing changes everyone of us. I think that yet ancient
people felt something similar building their first houses. Then, the
same feeling accompanied Archimedes and Leonardo. Perhaps people who
make something useful today experience those feelings too. And it
doesn't matter whether it's a great scientific discovery or a small
handmade thing. Even a small thing changes us.
We gonna...

I promise, this creative act will be as easy for you as jumping into a swimming pool on a warm day! Creativity will wash off everything that needs to be washed off.
Creating a virtual planet is, in essence, not harder than painting over an air balloon. If one tries to do this using the classical art methods, many inconveniences may arise:D But the most important thing is that a virtual planet can stay with us forever. One can bring it...
