Video blogs
Hey, I’m thinking it might be nice to add an occasional vidblog/podcast to the site. I dashed this one off as a trial. It’s a clip from my song The Flat Earth at last February’s TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) and I’ve added a voiceover explaining what I’m doing–a bit like a ‘Director’s Cut.’
Download the clip. Try it on your computer. Try it on your video iPod if you have one. Let me know what you think. Is the quality good enough? Is the file size too big? Can you see my nose hairs?? etc etc. Click on the pic below to download the video clip. And thanks for being my guinea pig. It’s the only way to test how well our server holds up to multiple simultaneous 19.2mb downloads!
It was interesting to watch from that perspective, because I performed one of my own tracks for the first time the night before. Not only is it am I relieved to be able to do something like this after dreaming for oh 30 years, but I see similar devices used by you.
I have reason on a dell with this clever little program called liveset from petertools. I have a novation x-station & edirol pcr-1 and wanted the remote sl and cme 7 before i knew you had them. I just did one song (the only one i’ve rigged for performace) and my friends said it attracted people from the street into the coffee shop. I don’t have to be in band anymore. It’s good to have that liberty.
Flat earth in my walkman helped me survive Iowa on a family vacation when I was 14 in ’86. I will forever be in your debt. Sorry I missed your show in seattle but I’m saving for said control surfaces. I’m still coming to grips with what I have at my disposal even with my simple setup. I hope for more opportunities to sit on your earphone as you work. You have a wealth of knowlege and it’s an honor to learn from you.
Looks good on my iPod, but more importantly feels like a really good balance of form and function!
Keep promoting the digital creativity, and thanks for sharing the gifts of your talent.
A great masterclass video, well produced and shot. It ran very well on my Win98 VLC (videolan.org) player producing a clean large sized picture. The size at 19MB is quite small compared to others and would easily fit on my sony k700 mobile phone as well. I’m so glad that Adam Curry (curry.com) gave you a shoutout.
yeah it even worked on my 128 mem processor Vaio…….a few pauses etc, but good quality…
Martin Luther King is nice….I agree with him and Belinda Carlisle about dreaming the same dream….
I found it on iTunes and thought is was brilliant. Quality and quantity was great. I’ll see you in Pittsburgh.
hey there Thomas I loved the video!
I’m really getting into all the Geek tech stuff. I’m a composer who has worked with computers and music for years and its great to see how you are pulling all the technology together for your shows.
I’m really disappointed your are not coming to Boston on this tour. My wife and I were thinking about a trip to NYC to see you but she could get away from work.
I work in the Music Tech division at Berklee College of Music and if you ever end up in Boston on tour it would be great if your could stop by and do a master class for the kids in the Music Synthesis Dept.
You are using all the stuff they are learning about. Logic , SoftSynths, Max. They would get so much out of it!
Keep up the excellent work!

Woke up this morning and put on ‘Science, then proceeded to listen to the everything through Astronauts and decided to google TD. Wow, touring again.
As for the video, Click – up and running in seconds- on 17″ Powerbook/Safari on a LAN cable line. I ‘ll send my students to chceck it out next week. They have been constructing songs in Garageband and they will love seeing your construction process as it just what we have been doing. Come to Tokyo!
Great video! more please, maybe something from the tour which i saw last night in Sellersville, Great show! Had no prob Downloading and transfering to ipod.
LOVED IT!
Please come to blighty Thomas!
oops, sorry, just seen your tour dates.

Hello Mr. Dolby:
Just viewed the video clip using Quicktime — had one small pause, but audio and visual were right on.
Keep the great music coming — look forward to your return back to Seattle some time soon!
i also have my own video blog, i use many tools to convert dvd into ipod, PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter is the most favorite one that i like.
Absolutely superb! Plays perfectly on my Sony PSP by the way.
Can’t wait for the Scala gig
Hi Thomas
Nice to see you haven’t lost the knack of making music! The podcast plays great in iTunes…
Is there anywhere we can hear some new material?
All the best
Ken
ps. Is it true you’re going to be working with Paddy McAloon again? “Steve McQueen” will always be a big fave of mine, it would be great to hear you team up again… saw the Sprouts in 2000 and I just went along because I thought ‘it wouldn’t hurt’, you know…
I’d forgotten how good they are… half way through “Cruel” I just melted…
Anyway, the reason I came here was I was just trying to record a piano line like the outro fade on “Moving the River”, but of course being a ham fisted guitar player this is far beyond my meagre keyboard thumping skills…
lol
I love in a suite case!
I love – I live.
What a great song! Mr. Dolby thank you for that gem of a song, this one seems to just make me drift some where in time.
Great song and your voice does it all…
hello. it’s a nice day for your ideas…
…
hello, good idea…
