It's not an illegal download! The tracks are all available on the SXSW website, but some nerd with a great idea, spent hours collecting all the tracks and putting them up on bit torrent. Thank you, whoever you are!

Kutiman made this cool video remix called "Thru You" where he samples various music instruction videos and composes a whole new song and interesting video in the process. Definetly worth a view!

You can find Kutiman on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/user/kutiman and myspace, http://www.myspace.com/kutiman

If you make it be sure to say hi to Remixin, we will be at the Science Fair showing off some new features for Max/MSP users.

After being inspired by Girl Talk's impressive mash-ups that compiles 200 songs into a fascinating hodepodge, I decided to try out AudioMulch. It's a modular audio software that can synthesize sound and process live and pre-recorded sound in real time.

Like Reaktor and Max/MSP, it's a patcher-style interface where various modules called contraptions can be connected to route audio and make a wide range of sounds, with up to 24 channels of real-time audio input and output. Unlike its competitors, however, it only costs $89 for the license and has a much simpler interface.
