C.L.A.V.E | Ruairi Glynn

[ English ]
C.L.A.V.E. stands for Collaborative Live Audio Virtual Environment and it's a live visual application created by Ruari Glynn a student of Architectural Design in London.
"Using OpenGL inside of MaxMSP Jitter I built an application that took color and luminosity values and constructed 3 Dimensional topologies. The use of video provided a rich textured surface and came to life when live video was feed through it. I also added a second video input and was able to cross feed live and prerecorded footage to build collages of terrain."
Check C.L.A.V.E. at work on this video. You may also download the application from his site.

Remix track | Shikaku

[ English ]
I know some of you out there are also musicians or Djs, so I thought I'd ask for some constructive criticism as I'm working on a new remix track. As usual when I work on a remix, I try not to listen to the original track too much, so I don't get influenced by it on any way. I only used the voice track, and wrote the music from scratch. Any tips on how to improve it would be appreciated.

Listen here (track #1)

[ Castellano ]
Se que muchos de los que leen son tambien musicos o DJs, por lo que se me ocurrio pedir ayuda con un track en el que me encuentro trabajando. Para no ser influenciado en gral trato de no escuchar el track original, cuando me siento a componer, pero si uso elementos del mismo, en este caso la pista de vocales, el resto del track fue escrito desde cero, cualquier consejo en como mejorarlo sera bienvenido.
