They used an octocopter to take pictures or video, cool:

That would not be a bad job to be paid for :)

I went on sunday which seemed to have more Trance artists. In hindsight, I should likely have gone Saturday too, but oh well...

I soon went to see Cosmic Gate:

I went to walk around a bit after that:

Next was Gareth Emery:

Here's a quick video of Concrete Angel, a favourite from their track:

Went to checkout the night tent which looked like weird 3D with their difracting glasses:

Next was Zed's Dead, which I followed for a while. I'm not a DnB fan, but actually this was quite interesting and hard not to beat your head to the beat eventually :)

And to finish the night, I had to pick between Tiësto and W&W, rising Trance stars. I went to see Tiësto for just a few minutes, but since he's stopped doing Trance many years ago, so I spent the rest of the night seeing W&W:

A few of their better tunes, including the finale:

It was a very good, and 10mns from home no less, can't beat that. Looking forward to next year.

I had good time hacking with this, and in the end was able to make a game where you keep a ball inside the square with an accelerometer while another person can adjust the game speed with the IR sensor. When you lose, you get appropriate sound and screen animation (doesn't look like much, but this is usually what takes the most coding time).

coworkers at work :)

my first try

someone made an almost working pong game

another keep the ball in the square game

My finished device in smal form factor fitting on top of the arduino

Here's my demo to my coworkers, using my external clean power supply:

And the same thing in a small form factor, using the noisy arduino voltage ref (this is why it's moving so much in the init phase, despite no input). I'll have to do some analog electronics to clean that up:

This was definitely time well spent and a good learning experience.

And yes, today is when you find out that Lost Tribe is Matt Darey if you didn't know that, or that the lyrics come from "Barbara Marciniak - Earth Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library, here". I forgot to ask Matt why :)

"Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves will bring all of you to a new understanding and valuing of life, A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth.

Like a priceless jewel, buried in dark layers of soil and stone, Earth radiates her brilliant beauty into the caverns of space and time. Perhaps you are aware of those who watch over your home, And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.

You are becoming aware of yourself as a gamemaster.

Imagine earth restored to her regal beauty. Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky, Clouds billow to form majestic peaks. The songs of birds fill the air, creating symphony upon symphony. The goddess is calling for an honoring of what she allows to be created through the core-mystery of the blood. Those who own her planet are learning about love. "

Those lyrics come from the original book, Barbara Marciniak - Earth Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library, here

Gamemaster is such a great tune, with so many great remixes, 2 of my favorites below:

But here's the full list I found (that's 31 plus 2 above, or a total of 35 and I'm sure there are more):
