Nowhere near as extensive as musiXmatch’s 5.6 million licensed lyrics.

I posted a link to a James Bond mockery YouTube video 3 days ago. I think I saw this link on a twitter feed, can’t recall exactly. Number of views of the video at the time was only around 500, but 2 days later it had reached 250k views. In 3 days, it has gone up to 410k. That’s amazing considering the video was originally posted on October 21st (2011). That means over the course of 3 months it had only been viewed 500 times, but in mere 3 days the number increased almost 1000 fold.

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first ‘SUPER’ computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored a ‘whopping’ 5 MB of data.

Fantastic clip with Hans Zimmer-ish soundtrack. 100 years in 5 words: too many innocent people die.

I looking forward to watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The original music is produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. I loved The Social Network soundtrack, I reckon this is going to be even better.

Check out SoundWorks Collection: The Sound and Music of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:

In this SoundWorks Collection exclusive we talk with Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Sound Re-recording Mixer Michael Semanick, and Re-recording Mixer, Sound Designer, and Supervising Sound Editor Ren Klyce.

Love the sound design analysis.

James’s arseholery. Too awesome!

Akai’s new MPC controller looks impressive. Check out the promo video. Software part of it looks a little ugly.

I’ve been meaning to update my old logo for a while.It used to be a sine wave which incorporated letter N for Nikolozi.

After I submitted my app to KVRAudio, I was asked to provide a logo for my company. That gave me an extra push to redesign my logo.

You will notice a new design at the top of this website. It has the same idea behind it as my old logo. Saw tooth pulse which incorporates letter N. It looks edgier and more modern.
