Back to the Start / Nexus Productions for Chipotle, 2012

An introduction to the OP–1 / Wallpaper, 2012
So Wallpaper* featured an article on the truly awesome Teenage Engineering OP–1 synthesiser last month, and as part of the iPad edition extras, I got to make some films explaining how the thing works.
The tune is a little cheesy and basic, but I hope it gives an introduction as to how easy and quick it is to make music on this great device. I picked it up – with zero prior knowledge of synths – and put together some fun music in no time at all.
Read the article here. Buy the OP–1 here.

Millau Viaduct, France / Foster + Partners, 2004
I meant to post about this last week when I saw the Norman Foster documentary, “How much does your building weigh, Mr Foster?” at the ICA. It’s a good film; I felt it could have gone into more detail about some of the projects, but then again, there’s a whole lot of them to get through. It’s well worth seeing for the gorgeous photography alone, such as the Millau Viaduct, above.
Above Everything Else / Alex Roman, 2010
This video is incredible. The whole thing is CGI.
