Cup-O-light

A South Korean friend brought us to a restaurant. They had one of these tea lights in a glass on the table. I liked how the light projected on the table.

Still-life photo: Light on a Box

21 October, 2007

Picture taken at a restaurant in Shaka Marine World, Durban, South Africa (August 2007). It was part of the restaurant’s decor. The light was coming in from the half hidden glass panel. Seemed like a still-life painting, so I took the shot.

Over Southern Africa

The clouds looked like flocks of lambs, grazing.

How to weave Ketupat

17 October, 2007

A Ketupat is a boiled rice dumpling wrapped in a woven palm leaf pouch. Check out the video by Singaporean blogger, Jussaemon, showing how the palm leaf pouch is woven.

Music re-engineering experiment: Sea Anemone II

15 October, 2007

The other day I took this tune from my friend, Adrian, and tried to re-engineer the sound a little. It didn’t get Adrian’s complete approval but that’s OK.

Here it is, the re-engineered version:

Compare it with the original:

I wanted to see if I could make anything out of just one single MP3 file. So now I know it can be done (of course the best way is to work on the actual GarageBand files but when that’s not possible, then now I know there’s another alternative).

I’ve posted some notes on how it was done at the SeaStars 2007 blog.

BTW, I’m currently collaborating with Adrian on an online music album project.
