Music Hack Day Scotland

The Leith Agency — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 08:39:52 GMT

24 hours of pure music hackery during the Edinburgh Festival.

Storified by The Leith Agency · Mon, Sep 03 2012 01:39:52

Music Hack Day Scotland brought musicians, developers, designers and creatives together from as far as New York, Paris and Amsterdam to make innovative music projects in 24 hours.

Hacks on hacks on hacks #mhdscot http://instagr.am/p/Ov0RI-nRL7/ · Andrew Mager

It was organised by the Scottish Music Industry Association, Leith Records and Lucky Frame, and partnered with the Turing Festival.

Here's what happened...

THE LAUNCH PARTY

It all kicked off in Summerhall with a feast of inspirational speakers to pave the way for things to come, and show off some of the amazing things happening in music technology to Scotland's wider music, media and technology industry. It was generously sponsored by Deezer.

First up was Yann Seznec from Lucky Frame, who showed how recordings from a pig could be artfully played using string tensors.

Yann Seznec @ Launch Party · TheLeith

There's that @amazingrolo demonstrating the wonderful sty-harp #mhdscot #TuringFestival
— Patrick Bergel · Fri, Aug 24 2012 07:58:06

Following Yann came FOUND, talking about everything from their Bafta-winning Cybraphon, to their recent #UNRAVEL show with Aidan Moffat, and their forthcoming app Great Circle.

FOUND @ Show n Tell · TheLeith

Found, a Scottish band who use technology in a really amazing way. Check out their project http://www.cybraphon.com -- #mhdscot

Wee sneek preview of @foundtheband next project Great Circle, music app that alters visual/audio dependent on distance from Glasgow #MHDScot
— Anny Deery · Fri, Aug 24 2012 08:24:14

Next up was local Marco Donnarumma officially launching his instrument Xth Sense, using sense pads and body movements to make atmospheric soundscapes.

Watching crazy awesome dude playing biomechanical instrument at #mhdscot. Desperately hoping he doesn’t accidentally play the brown note.
— Alex Waterston · Fri, Aug 24 2012 08:39:12

OK, does the Xth Sense have anyone else feeling like they're trapped in a techno cave... in the future? #mhdscot
— OpenEMI · Fri, Aug 24 2012 08:39:00

Patrick Bergel then took the stage to show how media and data can now be sent from one device to another, with just a sound, using his app Chirp.

Next up at #MHDscot is chirp.io Data transfer by audio #turingfest

WHAT, IF ANYTHING, CAN WE LEARN FROM POPULAR SHOWS LIKE BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT OR THE X-FACTOR?

that people are into narratives. All the people who're so terrible that they're funny is just filler material. Britain's got talent is just a soap opera.
— Paddy Hare · Wed, May 09 2012 04:05:43

We can learn what's on the other channels.

nothing (I hope and pray)
— Kay Macpherson Cullen · Wed, May 09 2012 04:21:15

That when tv ratings have such a heavy influence on the outcome, judging the talent of an act in this format tends to end up skewed, often skipping past genuine talent, originality and capability in favour of someone bland who will capture the attention of a demographic of viewers.
— Simon Rogers · Wed, May 09 2012 04:42:28

We can learn that we should spend our time being creative or working with the talents we actually have, instead of watching out of tune teenagers warble into a microphone, expecting instant fame for being totally talentless.....who needs talent when you can flash your bits at the right photographers?
— Bluebell Design · Wed, May 09 2012 05:05:26

also, we learn that "hard work and perseverance" appears to be something that's no longer taught...
— Bluebell Design · Wed, May 09 2012 05:06:28

That everyone wants their 15 minutes, and are willing to do almost anything to get it.
— Sandy Blair · Wed, May 09 2012 05:06:34

But let's hope that something can be learnt, as most kids these days have some or alot of exposure to these shows. Maybe we should be looking for the positives? right, bear with me for a while on that.
