Megadrone 24hour Livestream

Videoos
1

As you (probably) know there was a 24 hour livestream of the Megadrone / Kilodrone.

This was on Youtube during the stream, but is no longer available to view historically (damn you Youtube).

During the LiveStream, I had a worry that this might happen, so I quickly set my computer to record the whole thing.

Now, it mostly worked. I have managed to put all the recorded segments together, cutting out any small gaps and repeated bits (using the video of the lights and oscilloscope as a guide) and leveling the volume in each segment.

Unfortunately, due to something going wrong, I missed about 45 minutes from 3 hours 33 minutes into the livestream, so there is a small fade out and fade-back-in at that point.

Finally, I encoded to mp3.

Here is a torrent of that 1.2gb mp3 file of (approx) 23 hours and 15 minutes of the 1000 megadrone livestream: http://www.marcnetsystem.co.uk/kilodrone_livestream.torrent

Seems the limit is 12 hours :confused:

If your live stream is less than 12 hours, YouTube can automatically archive it for you. This option applies to all types of live streams […]

Note that if your stream exceeds 12 hours, it may not be captured at all.

I haven’t watched the live stream. My limit is around three hours for a really long film I’m extremely interested in. I don’t think I’d even want to watch much more than three hours of Jimi Hendrix at a time. Even Wagner’s Ring is divided into four operas that are traditionally broadcast on successive nights.

Would it not be more viewer-friendly to edit the stream down to highlights for broadcast? How many minutes of viewable content would it represent? Even if the answer is “all 1440 minutes” very few people are able to cope with that. A series of 30 minute shows (or if exceptional, 60 minutes) would surely make more sense.

Well, the full audio is available to download using the link above. Once downloaded, you can just stick it in the background while doing something else, or whatever. So that’s why I uploaded that first. It’s quite hypnotic after the first hour-and-a-half or so :smiley:

I haven’t even started on the video - I’ve been putting that off and I was waiting for a response here to see how best to deal with it.

Highlights are a good option - although my worry with that is that I would miss something that, in my opinion, is not very noteworthy - but after I’ve uploaded it someone would reply with “Wait… you didn’t include that really interesting bit at X hours, UY minutes”.

Episodes are a cool idea… like a TV show. Although a “Previously on the 24 hour megadrone” section at the start of each one would be a bit too much… :smiley:

My available sonic background is already occupied with other matters, but it’s a good idea to make a sound stream available for that purpose.

I have a bone to pick with Peter Jackson for this very reason. In my mind Lord of the Rings is a good story whose pace is spoiled by numerous tedious battle scenes. I was particularly disappointed to see that the developing relationship of Eowyn and Faramir was neglected while there were many lovingly rendered scenes of improbable creatures waging battle somewhere outside the room where Eowyn was attempting to nurse Faramir back to health.

Titanic has similar problems. The first half of the film is good enough, but then Cameron inexplicably has the ship strike an iceberg. Audiences and critics have rightly taken the director to task for the rather contrived manner of Jack’s death, but this problem could have been avoided by simply cutting the iceberg storyline altogether.

Ummm, yes this is a bit off-topic but…

I haven’t seen the film, but I am aware of the historic event… isn’t the whole thing with the ship hitting the iceberg the actual historic point? Or are you saying that the film didn’t have to be called “Titanic” and therefore could have ignored the whole iceberg thing altogether and just focused on the characters going from Southampton (or Ireland, or France) to New York on some other ship/time period?

Somehow you failed to spot the huge glaring iceberg of an invisible sarcasm tag.

Seriously though, sorry I was just kidding.

So I’ve decided to do it in episode form - each 1 hour maximum (some may be shorter due to lack of footage as mentioned in my first post).

The first episode is up and available. Check the original post - which I’ve updated.

If you thought the 24 hour drone was a long performance, you’re nowhere near ambitious enough:

The John Cage ORGAN²/ASLSP Organ Art Project running currently — and for the next six centuries or so — in Halberstadt is a concert that several generations will be able to enjoy. No one is ever going to hear the complete piece here.

The emphasis is not on long but rather on slow. Any single chord is played for at least 30 days.

ORGAN²/ASLSP consists of 65 impulses during which a new sound begins ( Klangwechsel ), or ends ( Pause ), or a combination of the two.

The concert started on 5 September 2001 — with a 17-month rest — and the first actual chord was played from 5 February 2003 for 518 days.

The longest chord in the concert is impulse 15, which played for 2527 days from 5 October 2013. The sound consists of five notes, of which one will be paused on 5 September 2020. The next sound change will be after 518 days on 5 February 2022.

Apparently there’s a program of events associated with the next sound change this Saturday.

we’re gonna need to up our patreon funding to get Sam enough 5 hour energy drinks to do something like this. I wonder how many years the furby organ can hold a note.

Have you told @lookmumnocomputer about this?
It sounded in some of his latest videos like he’d like to use some excerpts of the 24 hours to demonstrate some effects.

I’ve commented on some of the patreon videos. Although I have been busy with work, so I’m a little out of date on his videos. I intend to catch-up this weekend :slight_smile:

I did get everything at the end - the mp3 does have the chords at the end, it sounds pretty sweet :smiley:

I do have the video as well (including your little “thanks” sign), but it may take a while to comb through all the footage to find it. I was going to release the videos in order, but I can skip to the end if you want to see it

Episode 4 is now also up - unfortunately the feed dropped for me half way through here, so this episode is only 33 minutes long (instead of the hour). Don’t worry, there is a next episode that starts from where the feed restarted for me - at around 5:10pm
