Portable battery amp recommendations?

2009-11-18T07:46:52Z

Hi folks, I just jumped in to ask the same question Nelda asked.

So what do you think? Is Pignose the way to go? If so, which model?

Any other brands worth considering?

What's the unit that opens up into two speakers and an amp/eq? (I saw Simon 7 using one in Times Square Subway station....)

Live looping - best looper?

2009-11-18T07:44:28Z

I use a Digitech JamMan looper. The wav fidelity is great, but after less than a month I noted some real stupid design limitations.

What is your looper of choice, if you use one?

FlyLoops Looping Studio free download

2008-04-13T20:53:14Z

Here is another free download for a live looper.

Flyloops is an incredibly easy to use live software looper for PCs, it is designed specifically to generate live electronica music as opposed to ambient style or singer songwriter style music. The primary difference is an emphasis on loop interaction and independence and a de-emphasis on loop depth functions (such as randomize and reverse).

Here is a quick breakdown of the functions, please note that all functions can be done immediately and on the fly without stopping playback.

Basic Functions:
- Record independent loop of differing lengths, synced or not
- Stack (layer/overdub) infinitely on any of the loop tracks, with or without decay
- Stop any loop playback immediately or at the next master loop repeat
- Stutter (One-Shot)
- Record a B side compliment which plays serially to any of the 5 primary loops
- Transition any loop seamlessly from it's A to B side

Advanced Functions:
- Consolidate multiple loops into a single loop
- Multiply, Add (append), or Overwrite any loop
- Change which loop is the master
- Stop or Stutter all loops together, or some group of loops
- Crossfade between two groups of loops
- Scratch a group of loops as if on a turntable

Recording:
- Load or Save loops as wav files
- Record a live session including all playing loops and incoming audio (solos, etc.)

MIDI:
- Map any midi command to any function with a simple midi learn function

Coming Soon:
- VST compliance

see

www.flyloops.com

for screenshot, video demos, and free download.

Thanks,
Aaron

Looking for an experienced Foley artist

2008-02-25T17:09:00Z

Hi..
I work for a children's museum in Baltimore, Port Discovery. One of my latest projects is centered around teaching children about sound effects, using only those items that they would normally find around their own home or classroom. What I am looking for is to locate an experienced Foley artist who can advise me on the gear that they would use and techniques that would be appropriate for young children, ages 6 to 12.

I can be reached at dkorup@portdiscovery.org.

Thanks...Daveed Korup

help - last three days!

2007-03-16T17:17:40Z

So it's down to the wire, people. I apologize for this impersonal message,
but I'm at a point where I need to call upon the resources of
everybody I know, and everybody THEY know...

I'm in a battle of the bands, the Deadwood Derby - or I WILL be if I
can stay in the top 16 for three more days. Everyone has one vote per
24 hours, and I humbly request that you go to the website below and
vote for me at least once, and please three times if possible. If you
can convince anyone else to help out as well, I'd be very grateful -
the bands who have secured their place in the competition have turned
their fans' votes towards their friends' bands, and so I stand to be
removed from the line-up by rampant croneyism if I don't have your
help.

Here's the page where you can go to vote:

www.lawrence.com/contests/deadwoodderby2007/

The last day of voting is 18 March. If you'll vote for me (such a
minimal investment) I will write your name on a list which I will bear
on my sleeve and wear into battle - that is, I will perform at this
battle of the bands in honor of everyone who supported the underdog
and allowed me to show them what I've got. No kidding.

Again, forgive me for the impersonal message...I doubt something like
this will come up again for a long time.

much love
Michael

DJ Musician Fusion -- livetronica

2007-02-17T01:02:07Z

Hey all,

I am a musician / inventor down in Miami, I have been an acoustic elctronica musicians for some time, though I only just now joined here.

I have a home-grown looper that I use which allows me to control audio loops independently of one another. Since it is an invention that people here might appreciate, I thought I would drop a quick post .....

I am trying to get as much feedback as possible as I need to make this as useful and user friendly as I can for both musicians and DJs (and us hybrids). This is a sponsored product and will be completed this spring.

Please check it out at www.flyloops.com.

There are several video demos there (a couple of which you can find on youtube, if you prefer).

I think watching the videos should give you a good idea of how it works ..... after that, just lemme know.

PS - anyone else here from Miami?

Thanks,
Aaron Leese

2007-01-15T17:30:25Z

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that my new solo album has been released by the US label "New Albion"!

Here is the link about the album at New Albion's web site : www.newalbion.com/NA131

This is an album of "solo acoustic guitar and live electronics". The whole album was recorded in real-time without any overdubs. I played the acoustic guitar and controlled the live electronics at the same time.

During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869 acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the software Audiomulch were used.

If you are interested in contemporary music and the use of live electronics, feel free to check out the album!

Thank you very much and best regards. Looking forward to your comments!

Hey there! We are a couple of musicians looking for collaborative partners of a particular kind. We have a website http://www.theholographicuniverse.com where our music can be heard. We make music on Protools and Ableton Live and we could sure use some help with editing and production. If you are interested we can send you the Protools and/or Ableton files and the audio sounds. We have many ideas and many projects in the making that we'd love to share. We are good songwriters with new concepts and philosophy in our music and could really use the music production help.

Not what you thought it was, is it??

Seriously - this is going to be a great show. Zonk's new cd, 'Half Human', is absolutely rockin' and this is probably the last show they'll be doing for awhile, as Nicole is going to be having a baby soon!

Hope to see you there!

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS! AUGUST 11th AT 12 GALAXIES IN SAN
FRANCISCO
Three Potent Female-Fronted Bands Join Forces for One
Night

The New Up + ZONK + Artemis
Thursday, August 11th

San Francisco, CA 94110

Doors 8:00PM :: Music 9:00PM
Tickets $8 :: Ages 21+

Three of San Francisco's finest emerging female
songwriters will command the stage at 12 Galaxies on
August 11th. It's a night of girls, Girls, GIRLS!
featuring the lush symphonic electronica of Artemis,
the fiery psychedelic rock of The New Up, and the raw,
danceable trip-hop-rock of ZONK. These bands vary in
their sound and style, covering a wide span of genres
between them, yet are connected in their ability to
craft strong original material and create a dramatic
and electrifying live show.

ZONK :: zonkaholics.com
After their 2004 breakthrough with Our Five Worst
Songs grabbed them opening slots nationwide for such
diverse acts as De La Soul, Concrete Blonde, and Lady
Kier (Deee-Lite) and worldwide recognition through
Konami's popular video game, Dance Dance Revolution,
ZONK's latest release, Half Human, has them joining
forces with the B-52's in the midst of their West
Coast tour schedule. Sometimes likened to "Beck meets
Portishead," ZONK is a modern melding of styles united
by a distinctive, sultry voice and thoughtful
songwriting.
"ZONK... hmmm... fresh from some other planet. We love
'em."
˜Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde
"Local trip-hop foursome ZONK turns the
characteristically languorous and melancholy style's
perma-frown upside down. Frontlady McFiendish's
sex-dripping vocals lend a sultry air to the band's
quirky, beat-driven blend of turntable, laptop, live
guitar and bass and harmonica, yes, harmonica."
˜Bill Picture, SF Examiner

The New Up :: thenewup.com
With a searing lead guitar and thundering rhythm
section, tempered by a flute and sexy female vocals,
The New Up's sound weaves elements of psychedelia,
pop, ska and funk. This San Francisco five-piece cut
its teeth in the Chicago indie scene before immersing
itself in the Bay Area's vibrant music community,
impressing audiences with electric performances that
feature an eclectic repertoire of originals,
discerning covers and inspired improvisations. The New
Up recorded a version of the Talking Heads song "What
a Day That Was" for a cover compilation of the
legendary band and is currently at work on its second
album, a follow-up to the band's self-titled debut
release.
"Fear of Music Talking Heads with Peep Show Siouxsie
leading them: punkish but professional, accented
everywhere by an insistent need to add spice and
scope."
˜Dennis Cook, JamBase
"Trippy eruptions, retro-funk wacka-wacka, dance
thumps, and Pretenders-ish new wave."
˜Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader

Artemis :: artemis.fm
A seductive blend of daydreamy beats and starry-eyed
breaks, the lush symphonic sound of Artemis is turning
heads in the Bay Area and abroad with her recent third
release, Gravity (RTFM/Magnatune/Cyberset). Joined by
fellow members of electronic artist collective RTFM
for live performances featuring Artemis
(vocals/flutes/programming), Daniel Berkman (handsonic
percussion/kora/keys/guitar) and Cliff Tune
(V-drums/bass), Artemis and her posse weave a hypnotic
synergy, offering listeners an inspiring aural
journey.
"Gravity further refines Artemis's approach to
producing lush, intricate trip-hop and electro-pop."

"A world-class creation." ˜Keyboard Magazine

Upcoming Festivals

2005-06-09T18:54:38Z

Hello folks,

I'm a live-electronic laptop artist who is looking for a list of upcoming festivals -- both to attend and to submit music to.

One problem I find is that by the time I hear about the event through the usual channels, it's often too late to submit tracks. So...

Does anyone have some good resources of suggestions for those of us who book oureselves?

Thanks!

Nick (aka bioflava)

collectively creating a live divine ambient/noise/captivatingly beautifully tran(ce)s-cendant orchestra experience

2005-05-27T04:39:40Z

hi all!
i am Niymaay.

aloha!

i've been in maui hermiting for 5 months and now
i'm moving to india soon and am very very interested in beginning the procees now of this project which [for a long time now] i have a vision to come into embodiance (and i personally very much see no reason why i should not think it need to begin there, now!):
-------^-----^--------/-----/---/---<@
imagine:

LOTS AND LOTS of crazy, deeply inspired musicians of ALL kinds -especially those which play instrumentss seen as unconventional to pop-culture; remote and/or bizarre and self-created/invented instruments, singers, songwriters, chanters, speakers of tongues and channellers, electro-philes, tech/tech-destruction/rebuilding/recreation geeks, noise/ambience/beat/gklitch-creators, circuit benders/rewirers/loop-wirers/wire-runners/feedback/electro-magnetism workers come together -often- up to (X) times a week(however that may feel and flow?) to play as one toy and perfect their harmony as one sound with many vibrations, frequen(t)cies and emotional/psychologickal/spiritual outpourings with a collective vision to create an extremely high energy, deeply moving and highly spiritual otherworldly and extremely drawn-out and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG-LASTING experience for all present (both during set and after), to play shows for/with others and eventually tour the world!!! i'm talking 10 hours of decadence swirling. the swirling within the swirling of the barbell with its own swirly-swirl molecules a curling, curling, ever-unfurling
their delightful
BASHOOM
of efferevescent love twirling
and desurling
ooo, what a wonderous spur-ling!

teehee teehee teehee!...

so now the seed is hereby set.

sh/he/it(respect(ive)ingly) shall ever-be!!

Free instruments and samples!

2005-05-25T15:15:15Z

Hi Music Headz,

Just letting you know about a new collection of free sampler instruments just released by hybrid rock band Reactor. There's a 100Mb Electric Guitar, some fabulous tablas, a melodica and some other useful percussion instruments (all in the widely compatible EXS24 format). The collection will be regularly updated - Coming soon is a freaky convolving percussion set...

There are also video clips, a gallery and tonnes of great music from the band behind the samples. Enjoy!

Electronic Breakbeat Jazz - full album available for free download!

2005-05-09T02:16:15Z

Hey all,

just posting to drop a note that the latest album from my group Revolution Void is available as full download, either as mp3 or CD-quality format, from the Internet Archive. You can simply go to the archive at http://www.archive.org and search for Revolution Void, or go to my site at http://www.revolutionvoid.com and follow the links from there.

The music is a mixture of electronic breakbeats, mid- to downtempo, inspired by producers like DJ's Cam, Shadow, Hi-Tek, Krush and Premier on the downtempo tip and producers like Elite Force and the Marine Parade label on the uptempo style. On top of the electronic beats there is live jazz improvisation thanks to such talents as Seamus Blake (Mingus Big Band) and Matthew Garrison (Herbie Hancock's band).

The album, Increase the Dosage, has been released in its entirety free of charge, no strings attached, with a Creative Commons license (www.creativecommons.org) granting free permission to distribute it. (Read the full license at www.revolutionvoid.com)

I would love to have this album shared with any interested parties, especially music reviewers or people who might give me some feedback. Anyone who cares to comment can drop me a note here on tribe.net or go to the R.V. tribe at http://revolutionvoid.tribe.net

Thanks!

-Jonah

looper/effects box?

2005-04-03T16:51:07Z

Greetings,

I'm a didjeridu player looking for a looper with some basic effects. Seen a few friends with these, but the ones I checked out were guitar-oriented.

Any thoughts? I want to layer multiple didjeridus, tibetan singing bowls and a few random ethnic instruments, and have just a touch of echo or reverb or such.

Thanks,
Tom

didjeridu player looking to plug in

2004-12-21T01:24:53Z

Greetings,
I've been playing didjeridu for about 9 years now, and am interested in getting electified. I've got a little bit of recording gear - mics and mixer and minidisc, but am interested in exploring loopers and effects and don't even know what's out there beyond that.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Tom

So I hope

2004-11-02T19:59:20Z

...that the cause of all this silence would be everyone in here just too busy with gigs. If that is the case, then does anybody have recommendations for places to play and people to talk to about booking shows? Any ideas on places for musicians just to get together and talk?

WAKE UP!

2004-04-01T10:30:30Z

ok, I have a question here.

I'm thinking about making some drum triggers from the piezo element you can buy at Radio Shack, a mousepad and some wood.

I got an Alesis D-4 so that I can run them into it and MIDI out. The only problem is that I've noticed a little bit of a delay coming from the pintech kick drum trigger that I have going into it.

I've seen stuff about this on the internet but haven't actually taked to anyone whose actually done it.
My question is, will the CV signal that comes off of the piezo trigger show variance to create a velocity sensitivity?
