Eno Byrne Multitracks

Dunno when this thing started, but it's kind of a cool concept. They've separated all the tracks for remixing on two songs from "my life in the bush of ghosts" by brian eno and david byrne. the album really never knocked my socks off or anything, but the individual tracks have sampling potential. not that anyone is hurting for material to sample these days, but still.

midi controlers

hey so whats a good cheap midi controller?

I assisted with an ambient show through a BIG sound system on Saturday

Gory details and an mp3 of the 20min show can be found here.

Um...what?

Confused.

Dubstep Dog

I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe

So I just stumbled across a post by AK1200 on a message board:

"I was booked for a show tomorrow, May 14th in High Point, at Aquarius Music Hall. It has been moved into Winston Salem at a place called Elliott's Revue, located at 701 north trade street."

This is hilarious for so many reasons:
1. It's AK1200
2. His "crew" is called Planet of the Drums
3. The original venue was in HIGH POINT for Christ's sake
4. It's at Elliot's Revue (hahahaha)
5. There are going to be soooo many confused/disappointed hipsters that night.
6. More jump-up/wobble than you can shake a stick at.

I kind of want to go just to witness the chaos that ensues. If you're in W-S you won't want to miss this trainwreck of a gig.

I felt like a Bible Pusher today, kinda

I was having a stimulating musical conversations with a friend of mine and I remembered that I had printed up the  score to Steve Reich's piece "Pendulum Music."  They had just moved into a cool house and I thought it was a good thing for him to know about.  This led to the a conversation about some John Cage experiences.  On the ride home, I felt like the person trying to get you to witness Jehovah leaving your house.

So my birthday is coming up soon...

Electronic Music is a failed adventure

And before the long discussions even get brewing in the comments section, I did a field recording in the music department at KU with a decent mic and my camcorder.  This was taken near an news article posted on a bulletin board with a title of "Electronic Music is a failed adventure."  Of course the article wasn't as cool as the title and dealt with band geeks complaining about not getting to play enough at the basketballs games and instead of the krunk CD's banging.  But there is a horn of some sort and some percussions in the 2 minutes.  The video got jacked up when I ran it into my computer, but it looked better than the actual shot.  (here is the wav file)

Korg MS-20 Analog Filter for $70

I know it sounds like i'm a korg sales rep sometimes, but damn.

This little beast is a fun portable analog oscillator connected to a ribbon controller and run through the same filter as the MS-10 and MS-20. Nice, yes, for a toy. But the real magic is that you can run external audio through the vcf. This hooked up to any old yamaha portasound or whatever would be beastly, almost as beastly as the boner I have for analog filters.
