To the contrary, I think this quote from the article says it all:

"It also seems to be about having a bit of a laugh. Chris Csikszentmihalyi,
Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the Media Lab, cannot
resist poking a little fun at human DJs who take the project far too
seriously and feel their midnight hour is about to be taken away. "

Sure, of course it is. Yet I still have a sneaking suspicion that this fall
firmly into the category of "we did it because it was a fun thing to build",
not "we did it to replace Richie Hawtin or Carl Cox".

As I was pointing out earlier, the article says as much.

This really isn't especially (313) relevant, though. Also, don't take my
examples too seriously - I don't necessarily consider either Hawtin or Cox
to be the pinnacle of the DJ craft.

Complete disclosure: I have a 7" on City Centre Offices that came out at the
end of last year.

I thought Ulrich Schnauss's record was uplifting and beautiful. It has a
real sense of hope and joy about it, which is rare in these days and times.
Sure, it's a fine line between happy and cheesy for some people, but for my
money, it's on the good side of that line.

My biggest criticism is that it's a little obvious in a few spots (a drum
loop or two that I could have done without), but on the whole, i think it's
lovely.

We can agree on that one. His guitar playing on "Tides" is great, as is much
of the rest of his work.

Hmm, not a lot of 313 relevance here, I suppose. Sorry.

I'd definitely recommend the Roseville store for the full experience. Take

Gratiot north a few blocks. It'll be on your right.

Re: [313] Is Electronic Music dying?

It seems that maybe I'm misunderstanding your argument, but doesn't the fact
that there *are* "Big Names" (as you put it) indicate that Electronic music
is decisively *not* dying? Granted none of the Big Names you cited mean
anything to me, but isn't that often the way of it?

I personally don't see this year's DEMF lineup as indicative of anything
besides the tastes of the panel that chose it, by the way.

[313] chromedecay: a record label?

2002-05-25 Thread Bill VanLoo
Hello, and sorry for the spam-like qualities of this post.

So: a record label?!?

That's right, chromedecay is now a record label of sorts. I never expected
or wanted to run a label, but I had a project that I really wanted to
release on my own terms, and decided to make the jump. chromedecay (the
label) will be much like chromedecay the web site - low key, and devoted to
my own personal projects.

The first of those projects is a live recording from October 15, 2001.
Entitled "bill van loo - live at leopold bros", it captures one of the live
performances that I've become known for. Featuring great design work by my
long-time friend j. schnable (surfacelevel), this is a limited edition run
of 300 professionally duplicated CD-Rs with full color artwork.

Right now, I'll be selling them myself at the festival, and will have online
ordering available soon. E-mail me to order ($8 + shipping) for now.

Thanks for listening, and see you at the festival (hopefully).

Cheers,

Bill

Low Res is Danny Zelonky. He's released material on Plug Research, and is

The Trash Aesthetic record on PR (PR008) is great, by the way, as is the

thoughts after the DEMF [LONG]

2000-05-31 Thread Bill VanLoo
it was time for Derrick May. Derrick started with "The
Big Payback" by James Brown, which was dope. Unfortunately, I didn't
really pay much attention to much of Derrick's set; a lot of it seemed
just OK. He dropped some gems, to be sure, but I was hoping he was going
to really take people to SCHOOL. The same thing was true of Richie
Hawtin, to some degree. Richie started out with Vaporspace's
"Gravitational Arch of IO", which was great, and then played the
Maurizio mix of Vainqeuer's "Lyot", which was perfect. Then, however, he
moved into "drums" mode.

I like bangin' techno just fine, but it seems like a lot of the stuff
Richie was playing was really just drums and compression. No melody, no
riffs, no defining characteristics, just "banging". Maybe it's just my
changing tastes, but I was really hoping for something different from
him. I do, however, have to give him enormous respect for the way he
worked the 909. That was truly great - he really showed off the true
potential of that instrument, tweaking, building patterns up, dropping
the tempo down, bringing it up, working it. I think it was just raw 909
for at least 30 minutes, or at least is seemed like that. By the end, he
had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand, and I was feeling it myself.

Carl Craig ended the festival by reading all of the artist's name who'd
performed, which was a nice touch. It really was an inspirational site
to stand there and look out into the crowd, knowing just how many people
had been involved in making this happen and how well it was pulled off.
I was really, truly blown away.

Congratulations, Detroit. Thanks to all involved for letting me be a
part of it.

Fantastic picks, Todd!

Such good pastry...another fantastic pastry pick is the mexican bakery
in (duh) Mexicantown. They have this great cafeteria-tray setup where
you go around & pick stuff out, and you end up with this massive brown
paper sack of baked good for like $2.50.

True! I haven't been to Sala Thai in forever. Had many a pad thai
there over the years...

This one's a bit controversial. The restaraunt across from the DIA, in
the basement of the International Center, always had a couple of
different curries every day. They got pushed out with higher rent, and
a new owner came in with basically the exact same menu. I haven't been
there in a few years. Last time I was there the food was still great
but I felt kind of dirty because of the way that whole situation went
down.

Here are my photos from 2007:

I know I have photos from earlier years, too, but never uploaded them.
I may try to do that at some point myself.

(313) Hawtin - Concept 12" records

2010-07-12 Thread Bill VanLoo
Hi, all.

I'm considering letting go of my collection of Richie Hawtin's Concept
12" records. I have 9 of the 12 records, plus the box. My set is
missing numbers 3, 4, and 8.

The sleeves and box, unfortunately, are somewhat water-damaged, so
they're not in pristine, collector condition. Also, the records have
all been played, some more than others. They're still in fine shape,
however.

These were a really pivotal, important set of records for me, but I'd
really rather be able to invest the money in music or photo equipment
than have them sitting on a shelf in my studio. Please drop me a line
if you're interested in purchasing them, and we talk talk further
off-list.

Thanks,

Bill
