Manuel Clement’s basement

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Manuel Clement is a famous technologist (he used to speak at the FlashForward conferences, now works at Microsoft) but that's not what this video is about. At home he's a musician and has a basement of cool stuff in his basement. It's interesting that many programmers are also musicians. Anyone else have a basement like Manuel's?

Manuel has more on his blog where you can download music and visit his community site named "Future Producers."

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  3. I think it’s wonderful that he has a basement full of stuff in his basement. It would be another thing entirely if he had a basement full of stuff in his attic.

    That said, I’ve got a small VO booth in mine.

  5. Half of my basement fits neatly into one server and a laptop. The other half is in the lounge (much to the annoyance of my other-half). 😉

    Looks like Manuel and I have the same Event 20/20 monitors too…

    Indeed Pete 🙂 those are the trusty 20/20bas – They work great. Loud too! The studio being soundproof (box-in-a-box model), it helps 🙂

    Thanks Robert for posting this! I hope everyone will enjoy the music on my site too. I plan to post like crazy, including videos whenever I can.

    Stay tuned.

  11. 2 weeks ago I met a piano tuner by trade who swapped for programming in Python, Java and playing with AJAX out of a working olive farm 50 miles north of Granada in Andalucia, Spain.

    We talked about the connection and he reminded me there is an apparent similarity in the precision required to create elegant music and elegant code. Isn’t that what inspired the Pandora folk?

  13. Second Lifeisms, Net surfing with TechTV has-beens, Major Headache Nelsonisms (gawd is ‘he fingernail on chalkboard’ annonying), 5th graders with Tablets, loading up on Energy drinks, Sea planes, and now some guy’s music equipment in a basement, umm nice, but just in Peoria, I know 20+ people with a similar setup.

    Man, just chuck full of great content (note sarcasm). Hire a real producer. Least the editing is getting better, if jump zoom MTVish cutty. You editing this? Feels FCPish, ironically. Just wondering…a trip if I am right.

  17. I’ve always been a big fan of Manual. I’ve been a member (pretty inactive lately) for almost as long as he’s had future producers and I used to chat with him here and there back on the old flash forums, Were-here.

    He’s the reason I picked up flash to begin with, when I saw that kick ass 3d menu he wrote ages ago.

    He’s a great guy and his wife Christine is great too!

    I’ve been into music for a very long time. my dad has a pretty blown out studio in his basement, and I’ve played guitar and piano off and on for 17 years or so.

  21. A Micromoog. How cool. I saw this post earlier today but was busy and didn’t click through to the photo until a friend emailed me the link. I love it.

    Mano, is the Micromoog featured on your music? I need to check that out. I loved that pitch ribbon and mod wheel, you could do cool things with them compared to other controllers of the mid-70s.

    The guy who emailed me about this, Kip Kniskern (one of the MVPs who does LiveSide.net), was instrumental in my purchase of a MicroMoog. He convinced me, at age 17 after getting fired from my job and losing my driver’s license, to take the proceeds from the sale of my car and buy a Micromoog. (It was the day before Halloween, 1975 — sorry to date us, Kip!)

    You know what… because of what you said, I decided to post an all-micromoog track on my site… Check the latest post at http://www.manuelclement.com – the name is “Go to your Moog”!

    It’s a fun, funky-tune track. I actually made it the day I received the dusty 30 year old thing in the mail 🙂

  31. I got a passion for writing my own music (on the computer) through trying to write music for games I was coding. I enjoyed it so much that for a while I was writing music more than I was coding. It’s hard work writing music without any formal training and programming is so interesting that I eventually got sucked back firmly into the world of programming and I have found less and less time for music writing since then. I think programming and music are very similar, you are often using unique and creative thinking in an structured environment. No two musicians or programmers given the same brief would produce the same result.

  35. It’s still known as TechTV in common mainstream parlance, even in the G4 era. Reminds me of people who tried to force down the (never-taking) ‘cracker’ for ‘hacker’, it just all went ‘black or white hat’.

    G4 is TechTV, TechTV is G4. Just a dropping of the geek, to focus on the games, G4 a much improved version, even in spite of SciFi’y rerun city. But that ‘radio show on TV’ bit they did prior was downright horrid. Adam and Morgan are tops tho, imho.
