The Beat Goes On and On and On

The musical trio from Tokyo, Japan known as d.v.d. sound like a blast to see live. The group consists of drummers Itoken and Jimanica and visualizer Takashi Yamaguchi. As the drummers play and beat on the drums, Takashi projects and manipulates brilliant imagery on a screen. The sounds trigger geometrical shapes and landscapes via Processing (just like Metamorphosis 2), ensuring that it’s a real trip. PingMag has a fantastic interview with d.v.d. and I highly recommend you check it out.

DIY: Wii Classic Controller LED hack

Filed under: Gaming, Hacks

_wii_classic_controller_led_mod_1.jpg

The Wiimote sensor controller might be the more fun of the two, but sometimes, you’ve just gotta whip out the classic. It has to be done. So why not add a coolness factor to the classic controller as well? This DIY will allow you to add LED lights around the sticks of the controller. Some simple hardware manipulation is required.

All you’ll need is the controller, a triwing screwdriver, wire scissors, two 3mm LEDs in your choice of color (the blue looks pretty cool), a soldering iron and solder, a glue gun, and a solid core wire. The directions look pretty straight forward with the aide of the diagrams the site has, marking the step by step instructions. Happy hacking! — Andrew Dobrow
