[01] ENCHANTMENT
SHEDDING MY HUMANIST SKIN & BLEEDING LIKE THE BUG BLEEDS.
[ QUASI-ORIGIN STORY ]
UPCYCLING BALANCES OUT THE FINANCIAL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH MANUFACTURING HARDWARE. ESPECIALLY HARDWARE YOU’VE GOT NO IDEA IF THE WORLD GIVES A SHIT ABOUT. AFTER SINKING THE SHIP ON THE OL’ HDK-01 IT MADE SENSE TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH SOMETHING HAND MODIFIED.
IF YOU’VE READ THE VIDEO HACKER’S WORKBOOK VOLUME I THEN YOU KNOW I’M A MEMBER OF THE GOOD CHURCH OF EXTRON, A PASTOR EVEN. I BASED A COUPLE OF PREVIOUS BPMC RELEASES ON THEIR DESIGNS; 2015’S LIL’ WIZARD & 2017’S ZOLA. THEY CREATE REALLY HIGH QUALITY GEAR AND THIS SCALER IS NO EXCEPTION. ASIDE FROM PROVIDING EASY VIDEO ENCODER ACCESS AT A SCALE THAT’S TOLERABLE THIS CIRCUIT GAVE UP SOME AESTHETICS I’VE TRULY NEVER STUMBLED UPON BEFORE IN THE UNCHARTED HD WATERS.
01. COLOR PROCESSING BLEND MATRIX
WHILE THE HDK-01 STARVED COLOR CHANNEL DATA TRANSMISSION LINES TO ACHIEVE IT'S SIGNATURE LOOKS THE HDK-02 EXPLOITS A VIDEO ENCODER TO CREATE IT'S VIBRANT ALTERED PALETTE. THE COLOR BELND MATRIX HAS PRIMARY KNOBS THAT MUST BE ACTIVATED FOR SUB KNOBS TO TAKE EFFECT. UNCOMPRESSED VIEWING IS RICH, DETAIL LADEN & OFFERS HI RES ENHANCEMENT TO CHUNKY LOW BIT RATE VIDEO. FOR BEST RESULTS FEED THIS THING FUCKING GARBAGE.
02. SLANTED IMAGE DIVISION MATRIX
BY ACTIVATING THE TWO PRIMARIES A CURIOUS LITTLE GROUPING OF FINE SLOPED IMAGE FRAGMENTATIONS APPEAR. THE HIGHER YOU STACK THE GREATER THE DEGRADATION UNTIL YOU ARE IN FULL ON GENERATIVE NOISE MODE. STANDING NAKED AS YOUR PHYSICAL FORM MELTS AWAY AND YOU REALIZE YOU ARE GOD, WE ARE ALL GOD. A CHEST SPLAYED OPEN DURING OPEN HEART SURGERY, AN OCEAN OF STATIC, THE RAW INDIFFERENT CURRENT THAT UNDERPINS EVERYTHING.
03. FRACTIONAL BUG EYE BLEND MATRIX
BLEED LIKE THE BUG BLEEDS. SHIFT YOUR HUMANIST PERSPECTIVE. WITH YOUR PRIMARY ACTIVATED A MYRIAD OF CLEAN DIVISIONS AND SUB-DIVISIONS OF SUB-DIVISIONS ARE AT YOUR PALPS. EVER STACKABLE, LOVELY PATTERNS EMERGE. FINDING THE TRANSITION INTO THE FRAY IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND ME THOUGH. GO FULL ON AND PEEL BACK UNTIL MORE COMPLICATED MACHINE DIVISIONS GRACE YOUR FIELD OF VISION.
04. TO BEND A MOCKINGBIRD
SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE - PUT ON YOUR HARDHAT AND GRAB YOUR PICKAXE. THE LOVE’S HIDDEN AWAY ON THIS ONE. TO GO BEYOND THE COMMON VIDEO OUTPUT ENCODER COLOR PROCESSING FX YOU’LL NEED TO GIVE YOURSELF SOME MORE PLAYING FIELD TO WORK WITH. BURIED TREASURE IS AFOOT. JUST DON’T BREATHE IN THE FIBERGLASS IN THE PROCESS, IT’S A LONG DIG.
[WORKING WITH THE HDK-02]
A BYPRODUCT OF THE IMAGE FRAGMENTATION FX IS FEEDBACK ON THE AUDIO CHANNEL. SOME MIGHT FIND THIS UNDESIRABLE. SOME MIGHT FIND THIS EXPERIMENTAL™. WHATEVER YOUR PENCHANT, IT'S A REASONABLE THING TO BE COGNIZANT OF.
THE HDK-02 IS BASED ON A FANTASTIC SCALER AND ALL IT'S OG CONTROLS ARE INTACT. THIS DEVICE IS IMPAIRED IN NO MANNER BY IT'S MODIFICATIONS. IT'S MENU IS EASY TO NAVIGATE & FUN TO CORRUPT. YOU CAN EVEN MOVE THE MENU AROUND THE SCREEN AND INCORPORATE IT'S CORRUPTED SELF IN YOUR WORK.
[PROTOTYPES]
HACKERS MAKE PRETTY DE-EVOLUTION
[ FIVE KNOWN PROTO ]
AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF PROTOTYPES WERE BUILT FOR THIS ONE, FOR ME AT LEAST. THE FIRST TWO PROTOS WERE BASED AROUND A DIFFERENT EXTRON HD SERIES CIRCUIT ALTOGETHER BUT I LATER MIGRATED DUE TO MORE FX POTENTIAL. 3 EXIST USING THE FINAL MODEL, MOST WERE SOLD ON REVERB MARKETPLACE.
"WORKING WITH FARAH™ ON OUR INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT HAS BEEN A JOY. THEY TRULY UNDERSTOOD OUR VISION AND CREATED A SPACE WHERE EVERY INDIVIDUAL FELT CELEBRATED AND REPRESENTED. THEIR – COMMITMENT TO CAPTURING AUTHENTIC MOMENTS AND EMBRACING DIVERSE STORIES WAS REMARKABLE. THE TEAM'S PROFESSIONALISM AND ABILITY TO MAKE US FEEL COMFORTABLE ALLOWED US TO EXPRESS OUR TRUE SELVES DURING THE SESSIONS. "
