RE: (313) DEMF - NO FREE BOOZE WITH PRESS PASS
Yes Ken, it's true, that incident where Dan got called out for talking like a Limey. This is an occupational hazard when you're working for Auntie :) Fred - We're you totally upfront and honest about 'the incident' though Dan? You see, these things get you a reputation you know... -Original Message- ;-) From: Dan Bean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 June 2006 10:25 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) DEMF - NO FREE BOOZE WITH PRESS PASS I found Paxahau's approach to the press extremely frustrating, it was like being back in kindergarten. The press pass got you into the media room - that was it. As Kent said, to talk to artists, I had to ask permission and have a Paxahau press chaperone to escort me into the backstage area (and promptly out again). The whole time I was regarded with utmost suspicion. I have no idea why - as far as I'm aware I don't have a reputation for assaulting artists/invading stages etc. You wrote: As long as I'm complaining -- what was up with banning press from the free booze tent? Past festivals a press pass gave you all access. This year, a press pass just got you inside the fence for photos, and you had to schedule interviews with a Paxahau flack. Paxahau should know that a well lubricated press is a happy press! I'll post up a link to my photos when my editor gets done picking the ones he wants for Grooves.

It's RJ Valeo who made this. If you go to his website you can download the ep in MP3 format. It's pretty good stuff. theREALmxyzptlk [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/06/2006 7:08 am Nice, dub-edged techno here. Not sure from which corner this emerged, but I'm game for more. Supposedly this is from some 'mystery producer'...

(313) Mutek wrap up!
I somehow survived, but not without a raging head cold, mainly from air conditioning. The 2nd piknik of mutek was not rained out and it was nice fun in a beautiful park with water falls. Mark Houle dropped another great set, better than his one at movement, but it is hard to be sure. Ricardo showed up this time (last year's mutek he lost his passport and did not show) and hearing him and Richie play together was quite nice. It was the best Richie set of all 3 that I heard that week, cause Ricardo kept some element of fun in the mix. It wasn't just a surgical operation of laying down tracks and building things up, heck it was a party with good party music. A lot of detroit stuff, including good life carl craig rmx. They went at it for 5.5 hours. I kept thinking they were winding things down and then it would start banging again. I was really looking forward to hearing them together from what I have heard online, and they did not dissappoiont and the crowd loved it to death . the last show was pretty interesting with Pole with band, as my personal highlight. It kind of reminded me of what I would imagine Porter Ricks to be like live. The sound at mutek was loud but often murky, esp at their Darling Foundry main event space. There were almost no mids, it kind of surprised me I thought that Mutek would be all about the audiophile surround sound setup, where the only ear damage would be done to those not wearing ear protection. But especially at that last show, Pole sounded best outside the space on the sidewalk with earplugs in. I actually kind of think that going to 2 festivals in one week is a bit excessive and probably bad for me in some real way. Why are things that are bad for you always so good? Anyway, Mutek was cool because there were a lot of people that do events there, promoters from all over ther US and CA, so it was cool to meet people and network and still have a good time dancing. It was intimate, without being too small, and there were no ravers there so that is a big plus. But alas, no good swag to brag about. tom

re: (313) techno and kids
I am picking up this thread from about 13 months ago... So I finally get to add to this b/c I'm a new, first time dad, as of almost a month ago. As you either know, or can imagine, there's tons of writing and products out there that play on the idea of Classical music being good and calming for baby. I personally think it's a load of hooey and a marketing technique they use b/c in the real world, people associate classical music with intelligence and culture. Someone gave us a baby Einstein CD (a series of toys, music, and video for infants), and it was crap - 40 minutes of classic lullabies played on a general MIDI preset box. My theory goes like this: when baby is in utero, he/she is swimming in fluid. All of the outside sounds get translated to swirling bass, and it's LOUD in there; think about what it sounds like when you're under water. I was looking for the best music to mimic that environment To that end, the thing that just astounds me is that my son loves and is calmed by dubby techno (lucky for me!). When he starts to cry, I play rhythm sound, maurizio, or deepchord over and over. More up tempo Gez Varley, Ifach label, or Rob Hood tracks work too. The trick is turning it up, not to any ludicrous level, but loud enough to feel the bass kick. Cutting back on the highs helps too. Hopefully, his taste in music will continue along this path :) -Gil
re: (313) techno and kids
Wow, that sounds most cool and gives some hope! :) You already tested if that works with Reggae and Dub tunes as well? Since Rhythm Sound seems to go down nicely. A lot of bass around in Dub!

RE: (313) techno and kids
'Tis true! Our son used to fall asleep to that stuff all the time, and particularly liked Brian Eno and Carl Craig. He's four and a half now, and is a big fan of Kraftwerk, Theo Parrish, and the soundtrack from Rockers, though his favorites are Jacob Miller and Kiddus I. At some point, people are wired into thinking that 4-minute pop songs are the only acceptable form of music. Our kids are never fed that bull, and as such, it isn't as big a challenge for them to appreciate techno and the like. I'm curious to see what other developmental insights will arise from being fed a steady diet of good music from conception on. --Kelly -Original Message- From: Gil Yaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 9:10 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: re: (313) techno and kids I am picking up this thread from about 13 months ago...
