tüts.ch – pictures from zurich

I started a tumblr to collect all the pictures I am taking in Zurich, under the name ‘tütsch’ (which is Swiss German for “German”).

• It has a fancy umlaut domain name to go along with it: tüts.ch (if that causes any problems tuetsch.tumblr.com can be used as a fallback – it redirects correctly)
• I am taking the chance to forfeit the copyrights for all content I post there, putting it straight in the Public Domain (which is not legally possible for content created in Gemany)
• Everything is tagged extensively, especially the #streetart section. If I keep it up, the archive can be browsed by type, media, crews, artist, etc.
  Some tags that might be worth following:
  • streetart, sticker, marker, face
  • art, typography
  • politics, economics
  • zhdk (university of arts zurich), YEAH (prolific street artist)
  • unknown: (street) art I can not attribute properly – if you know more than me I would appreciate a quick hint

Image Placeholders

I have now seen 3 ways to get placeholder images (for website or other mockups) without manually generating them.
So time to collect:

vuvuzela filter for ableton live

someone had a great idea on how to filter out vuvuzelas from a live TV signal.
like everything else, it can of course also be done in ableton live. i took a EQ Eight Effect, punched in the frequencies Mr. Tube provided and also put it in a nice little effect rack. that way, you there is even a “Kill Vuvuzela” knob to turn up for you.

feel free to download the result:

(it is an old-school Ableton Live 7 project. i never used tis fancy new sharing features because i have not upgraded my licence yet. maybe someone with version 8 wants to that.)

a note:

• i don’t watch football
• you probably need an good soundcard for this, or a virtual audio device to route the audio to Ableton Live, depending on how you receive the TV signal or stream.
• some folks have asked for a open source/free version of this. while i would like to see it, it does not make much sense because the open source audio world is even more fractioned, so you can’t really help more than a handful of people per implementation. also, you don’t really “need” any premade solution, all the work of finding out and writing down the right frequencies was done by the Guy who wrote the article i linked to. anybody who already deals with linux audio should be able to do this in less than 15 minutes.
