All bass, kick and snare sounds heard in the video were made by alternating the leaf type, angle, pressure as it was applied against the turntable.
Dadadodomax is an app for making text-collages, or cut-ups, out of the text you feed it. It analyses texts for word probabilities, and then generates random sentences based on that. Sometimes these sentences are nonsense; but sometimes they cut right through to the heart of the matter, and reveal hidden meanings.

A novel written on adhesive text over a wall.
I wrote a novel on the difficulty of knowing the truth behind the computer: one character seeks another who suddenly disappears from their everyday computer-mediated routine. Searching through an ocean of information, his challenge is to find her.
I decided to release it on one page only, making it more difficult for the reader to follow the investigation (as it was difficult for the character to dig through all the information). As the character, one must have time and resistance, or then leave the mystery unsolved and go for the next attraction/distraction.
Mark Z. Danielewski is famous for experimental, challenging novels like House of Leaves andOnly Revolutions. Now he’s back with The Fifty-Year Sword, a strange novella that was originally released in a tiny print run from a Dutch publisher and is now coming out in a 75,000 copy print run. There’s also a snazzy limited edition.
