(313) [Detroit] Goodnight Comrade w/Keith Tucker - Tonight, Friday 2nd September 2005

2005-09-02 Thread Rev. Jeffrey Paul

Denis Baldwin Jr - friend to many, acquaintence to all.  You've heard the
rumors, and it's true - he's moving to Florida.  We're not exactly sure
why.. but he's going, and we're sending him off properly.


 GOODNIGHT COMRADE
 a farewell to a friend
 http://sneak.datavibe.net/misc/flyers/20050902-goodnight-comrade

 Friday, 2nd September, 2005 CE
 10PM-10AM, free

 At the Focus Media Bunker:

 440 E. Lafayette (above Niki's Pizza and the Bouzouki)
 Detroit, Michigan

 (877) 748-3467 (my (sneak's) cell for directions or assistance)

This evening, for your listening pleasure, we have worked quite
dilligently to arrange for the following lineup:
 
 *  Keith Tucker
 ** Aux88/Puzzlebox

 *  Benji Hayes
 ** Focus Media

 *  Darkcube
 ** Detroit Techno Militia

 *  Dethlab
 ** DoyleBethany

 *  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 ** hey, that's me

 *  'stos
 ** Fistclencher Records (also, if you're reading this via 313kids, your
 friendly neighborhood list admin!)

 *  T. Linder
 ** Detroit Techno Militia


I've spent the whole day doing the usual party preparation thing -
moving huge cabinets filled with gigantic speakers about from place to
place, connecting large rubbery cables from oversized amplifiers to said
cabinets, buying vast reserves of liquor and that weird 7.3% canadian
beer, disposable plastic cups, ice, et cetera, and generally freaking out.

Much effort is being expended to ensure that everyone that attends has
as much fun as we are by doing all of this.

Additionally, we strongly recommend that before you come to be assaulted
by the waves of bass eminating from our WTF Soundsystem, that you go and
visit our friends Derek Plaslaiko and Ryan Elliott over at Vault
at Oslo this same evening put together by those fine gentlemen at
Ghostly.  That's going to be awesome too and we're all sad we can't be
in two places at once.

I'm going to bed because tomorrow is going to kill us all.  See you
there.

Love,
-j

  here's a useful record cleaner.
 get a bottle of isopropyl (rubbing aclohol -  there are two types of
 rubbing aclohol,in the states make sure it's the one with isoprpyl) ix it
 with distilled water (it'll be at the supermarket). mix them about 1:8.

Most isopropanol sold in the states is already diluted.

I would be careful, though, as I can neither confirm nor deny whether
isopropanol will dissolve PVC.  Most web sites suggest a similar formula
(some even up t1o 1: mixtures of isopropanol and distilled water), but
personally I'm wary.

Any records I've had that have become super-dirty I've just cleaned using
cold tap water and fingers (or a soft toothbrush, in extreme cases),
followed by shaking and/or paper toweling them dry, and a once-over with a
dry record cleaning tool to pick out any paper towel dust.

(313) bob moog

2005-08-22 Thread Rev. Jeffrey Paul

from http://www.moogmusic.com/ :

ASHEVILLE, N.C. . August 21, 2005 . Bob died this afternoon at his home
in Asheville, N.C. He was 71. Bob was diagnosed with brain cancer
(glioblastoma multiforme or GBM) in late April 2005. He had received
both radiation treatment and chemotherapy to help combat the disease. He
is survived by his wife, Ileana, his five children, Laura Moog Lanier,
Matthew Moog, Michelle Moog-Koussa, Renee Moog, and Miranda Richmond;
and the mother of his children, Shirleigh Moog.

Bob was warm and outgoing. He enjoyed meeting people from all over the
world. He especially appreciated what Ileana referred to as the magical
connection between music-makers and their instruments.

No public memorial is planned. Fans and friends can direct their
sympathies or remembrances to www.caringbridge.com/visit/bobmoog.

Bob's family has established The Bob Moog Foundation dedicated to the
Advancement of Electronic Music in his memory. Many of his longtime
collaborators including musicians, engineers and educators have agreed
to sit on its executive board including David Borden, Wendy Carlos, Joel
Chadabpe, John Eaton, David Mash, and Rick Wakeman. For more information
about the foundation, contact Matthew Moog at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi Jodie,
 
 It was a pretty sweet setup. The graffiti on the wooden fence was still 
 there, as well as the walls. The front room was facing the main door and 
 in the main room the setup was pointing at the large wall on the south 
 side. It was strange that the Visuals were displayed over the entire 
 length of the large wall and a smaller wall. I wish I would have taken 
 pics now.. :) I'm sure someone did.

I did.  I'll be posting links once I finish getting all the pictures

 AFAIK, sony music, and sony corp. are two different entities.  You can't
 hate the son for the sins of the father, IMO.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=SNE

to quote:

Sony Corporation is engaged in the development, design, manufacture and 
sale of various kinds of electronic equipment, instruments and devices for 
consumer and industrial markets. The Company develops, produces, 
manufactures and markets home-use game consoles and software. It is also 
engaged in the development, production, manufacture and distribution of 
recorded music in all commercial formats and musical genres.

endquote.

all commercial formats and musical genres like bastardized trance 
remixes.

Then again we all use MDR-V700s (and many of us Vaios as well) so we 
really have no room to talk.

 My recommendation (for what it's worth): charge $1 per entry. That way you
 incent people to support the vendors and can get at least an additional
 $500,000 of support, which also gives advertisers more of a feeling that
 they will get the attention they want. Just a thought.

I came up with the exact same idea on Monday, after being hassled for the 
umpteenth time by one of the same dozen bums that's ALWAYS wandering 
around downtown.

Forget the $500k it'd bring to the funding... the real benefit would be 
keeping out the bums.

This will, of course, never happen, because the only way that the festival 
is the largest anything in the world is with the free qualifier, and we 
all know that they'll never let that one die.

 someone do something i can't, or haven't thought of.

 *you* are a performer.  that's the 'P' on your 'pa.'  playing live is a
 performance art.  do something.  if you do anything else feel free to sit at
 home and do that, and be a producer.

Technically, even someone who just carries in their DAT and hits play and
stands there staring out at the crowd is 'performing'.

I'm not going to take sides in the it's all about the music debate, but
don't say that someone who stands motionless and stares unblinkingly at a
laptop for an hour is any less of a performer than the most visible and
energetic of trick djs.  They're certainly not as -good- of a performer,
but they are covered equally by the definition of the word.

I think that this would be a non-issue if people who do, for example,
laptop PAs, projected their video output on a screen behind them so you
can see what they're doing.

It's a lot more difficult giving the crowd something to look at if you're
not doing something on a flat horizontal surface.  Most performers who
don't play records forget this all too often.

Now for my personal opinion:  Do you have 10kW of sound in your basement?
How about a few hundred people?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  Give me 'Play'
on the DAT out in a condusive environment any day over armchair listening.

in the grand scheme of things, high-bitrate mp3 (192+kbps) and cd quality
both suck ass pretty badly.  44100hz/16bit just isn't that good to begin
with.  armchair audiophiles debate lossy compression vs the uncompressed
originals, but when you're talking cd-quality it doesn't much matter.

sure, anyone can tell the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and the
original.  when you encode at 192 or 256kbps though with a good encoder,
anyone who claims to hear the difference is lying.  google for a program
called winabx if you don't believe me.

traxx is from chicago, iirc.  i've seen him play three or four times, and

It's just an image file, not it's own partition.

 i dunno but i'd rather kill the dude; pitched technics are horrible to
 play at; and you end up playing all the time all the records at least at
 +4 - because pitch in area 0-+2 usually does nothing. and you can't mix
 long mixes with pitched decks, the pitch control stops being exact quite
 soon. ie. pitching will ruin the decks. also, the components in the
 pitch wont last long with wrong voltages and stuff.

that's kind of untrue.  they lose resolution so it's more difficult to get
an exact match with the slider (as it's now twice as sensitive if you go
from +/-8 all the way to +/-16), but it doesn't permanently damage the
components.  oftentimes the zero-point on the pitch slider goes off-center
when the setting is changed, but it goes back when you reset it to the
original pitch range.  of course, if you're -that- obsessive (read: anal)
(after all, this -is- the 313 list), you could always just get m3ds (no
zero-position detent+switch like mk2s) and remove the little legend next
to the slider that claims zero is in a certain 'official' spot.

 also - if you need to play records in the same set that are 117bpm and
 150 bpm, play longer sets and build your set, and buy enough records to
 build the set from 117bpm to 150bpm. that's the right way.

i kind of agree with this.  i have a few specific records that i've found
make good one-step bridges between different speeds of techno, that is to
say they're within +/-(~10, dunno what my sliders are exactly) of both 120
armchair stuff and 140 injure-your-neck stuff.  i wouldn't think it'd take
a lot of these kinds of neutral-sounding, mid-tempo records to keep
everything within +/-8 of the next track if you have even a rough idea
beforehand of the speed/pace/feel timeline of a set (i.e. not alternating
between both ends of the spectrum constantly).  does anyone else have any
suggestions for records of this type that make for good transitions
between the realm of chin-stroking and rocking out?

 with perfect pitch, +4 or greater starts sounding pretty awkward.

you could pitch the record up or down when digitizing it (only down would
be functionally effective when recording originally from vinyl, anyways,
for purposes of resolution in the digital copy) and then be able to pitch
it another +/-4 (assumming factory-default decks) when playing it back
with FS... or adjust it digitally with audio-editing software once you've
recorded it (only pitching it up is advisable, at that point).

(side note for the gearheads:

in some of my more nitpicky and/or obsessive moments, i've digitized
tracks that i want really nice copies of at -16 (with the slider set to
+/-16) and then digitally downsampled them (using a nice, high-quality
algorithm in a professional audio-editor) to circa the proper speed. in my
mind it makes for better recordings, but it could be psychosomatic.  it
makes any pops or clicks from scratches or deeply-ingrained (that didn't
make it out in the pre-recording wash) dirt less audible as well.

 This would work, but why couldn't you dynamically correct the key based

 without affecting the pitch in real time.

it's a linear relation, pitch to speed.  most not-lame programs i've ever
used for audio editing allow you to adjust pitch, speed, or pitch+speed,
each seperate.  i was using the term pitch as a synonym for speed/tempo,
as is the convention with techno and/or dj types, but with something like
FS you could do anything you want to any digital file beforehand in an
audio editor... timestretch, timecompress, pitchshift, offline effects,
rearrange, whatever.  maybe if they add realtime digital effects to

[313] steve bug last night at times square

2002-08-24 Thread Jeffrey Paul

anyone else go?  i think i bumped into a few listmembers...

i was rather disappointed with the sound at 'the new times square'.  i
would've expected better at a paxahau-promoted show (i know it's not their
sound, but still, you'd think they'd have a hand in where their production
would take place)... the sound there was woefully inadequate.  lots of
'club people' and such, unlike most of the places i've gone to see good
techno; lots of 18-24 well-dressed clubbing as a social activity
potential stereotype applications walking around.

icky sound, lots of overdressed sluts, kinda expensive admission ($15),
and a huge raised dj booth making it impossible to spot the ones i didn't
know out of the tons of excellent tracks he played over the course of the
night contributed to me having a generally bad impression of a club i'd
never been to before.  it kind of stood as an ironic contrast against
an absolutely amazing dj/producer i'd never seen before.

even with all the negatives, i still thoroughly enjoyed myself.  there
needs to be more great, clean, simple minimal stuff like this in the
world. w00t!

BeOS hasn't run on macs for a long long time.  The BeBoxen used to be 
powerpc boxes and beos ran on macs cause they had the same cpu, but when 
apple was tanking they jumped to x86 and haven't looked back.


Besides, running beos on powerpc to run final scratch wouldnt hardly be a 
'mac version'.


Even if BeOS did run on a mac though, final scratch won't, unless they 
specifically release powerpc-beos binaries (yeah right).  All this is moot 
though, nobody but bald geeks with weird glasses will run beos on their 
laptop just for final scratch anyways.


However, to be honest, you don't want to run this system under windows or 
mac os ANYWAYS.



one of the most amazing things about the beos is its natural audio latency 
time.  STANDARD this OS spits out audio at THREE MILLISECONDS.  3 
ms.  Think about that one more time.  That means the ONLY time a dj is 
going to really noticed any latency is when he's doing some heavy 
scratching, and minute at best.  When you look at windows with its 35ms on 
a great day latency, you see why this system needs to be run on be os.



a) it's not that amazing
b) it's not unique to beos
c) 35msec latency is approaching noticible, but for djing purposes, 
wouldn't affect anyone except those doing lots of scratching. Besides, with 
a program specifically written to be a realtime application, it would much 
likely be a half to a third of that, which is virtually unnoticable.  this 
is possible on both macos and all versions of windows.

To answer someone else, if you chop it in an audio editing program

sure you burn DAO (Disc-At-Once) with zero-second gaps between tracks (the 
redbook specification requires a 2 sec gap before track 1, so for 
everything but the first) it should burn with no blips between tracks,

Or you could just use nero to tell it to seperate a large input file into 
several different little tracks, without having to actually chop the file 
at all.

[313] Afterhours Day 2 (was: Re: [313] DEMF Day 1)

I bailed around 9:30 because I was starving, and headed over to
Greektown for some grub.  Then commenced the afterparty circuit,
starting with the Camillian Cafe (300 Monroe at Randolph) which
is actually a very nice coffee place.  I missed Gerald (Matrix)
who played around 7, but Dwayne Jensen and Mike Clark were
heating it up when I stopped in around 11.  He played a white label
of a new vocal track, and his singer was there but with no microphone
all she could do was a lip-sync to her vocal, but she definitely put
some serious diva energy into it :)  It's quite cool to see Detroit house
making a big comeback; I talked with D-Ha (Derwin Hall) later at
the MI party, he's coming out with some new ones shortly after a
long break.


I ended up at the camillian tonight (just got back), as i'm too physically 
exhausted after two days of demfing to dance (or even walk) properly 
(otherwise i'd have ended up at the UR-lookin thing across the 
street)  what a cool place!  i'd never been there before, but we 
decided to stop in there and I can't think of a more chilled out place to 
spend a few hours.Tasty food, groovin house


sorry:
a) my somewhat sleep-deprived incoherency
b) those not at demf


here's to hoping i don't go to sleep to find myself waking up at midnight 
tomorrow,

Does anyone have contact information on the agent (agency) responsible for

Seems to me that dozens of polite phone calls and emails should cause them

How do we know they didn't catch him spending festival funds on a

scene?


I can see how the default, knee-jerk reaction to something like this would 
be to take a stand, but by our own admission, we've no idea any of the 
facts of the situation.  Taking a stand on a situation that you know

Bitterness over the fact that the media doesn't tell the public what's 
really going on in the world?  Not me.  Despite living in the area, 
listening to the music, and planning to attend and support the festival, 
the DEMF doesn't belong to anyone except those who create, shape, and 
organize it, and it's up to them (Carl Craig included, of course) whether 
or not anyone (media, public, attendees, 313 list, whoever) finds out what 
the real deal is.

exactly - even the tracks made with all analgue synths and drum machines

dat can go up to 48khz sampling (same as most newer soundcards these days) 
(still 16 bit), but it's hard to hear the difference between 44.1 and 48k 
for me with anything less than headphones. (cd is still 44.1/16)




then again, maybe those people who make vinyl masters know some sort of
magic that un-quantizes your digital recording?  yeah, that must be it.


well, i'd think the actual cutting of the groove based on all the digital 
samples 'fills in' the spaces... this is not to say that a dsp that takes, 
say, a 44.1/16 input and interpolates it up to 96/24 and then dumps it out 
a high-quality d/a converter couldn't approximate the feeling.  Also, 
there's all kinds of physics about the needle tracking the groove (the way 
stereo information is encoded in the groove, for example) that might have 
to be dsp-ified to get a noticeable effect  Not that it'll ever be the 
identical due to the storage differences, but vinyl does have it's 
practical resolution limits... hopefully one day consumer-level digital 
audio stuff will be able to hold a candle to it.



cause, y'know, vinyl is better.

I would think that anyone who knew enough to think someone an amazing dj

Isn't it all about the resulting product and it's effect on the end-user, 
anyways?  Whether you mix vinyl, cds, or tracks on a computer, realtime or 
previously recorded... isn't it about how it sounds in the end?


Wasn't there a similar argument made by traditional musicians when 
synthesizers first started to pop up(same for drum machines, etc)?  A 
general they're cheating attitude, or something to that 
effect...  Eventually, I think it all distills down into how the final 
product sounds, not as much how much skill (talent and creativity yes, 
skill no) and good timing and luck it took to get to that point.


It's the misrepresentation of talent part that bugs me... a djs job is to 
choose tracks, combine them into a set, to the end of creating a 
synergistic piece that entertains whoever listens.  It's been shown that it 
doesn't require vinyl, or even cds.  It's the human ideas and creativity at 
work behind that process that is the special, unique part, and that will 
exist as long as there's people out there willing to listen, computers or not.

and that in actually going to a club, fighting your way to the DJ 
box and managing to actually decipher the title of a rotating bit of 
vinyl you've put in enought work to earn the right to own it.





everyone, everyone, EVERYONE has the right to own that music, regardless 
of trainspotting.


agreed. the question is, though, do you have the right to trainspot?  i'd 
think that's up to the dj i mean, if you want a track badly enough, you 
can always hum the melody until you get home, then sing it into your mic, 
and post the url to the .mp3 of your drunken drooling to 313 and bug 
everyone about the awesome track you heard last night.


I can kind of understand that an insecure dj might want to hide a 
super-cool track, but that still doesn't stop you from finding out what it 
is.  If the dj's got it, and it's not a dub plate or a hard-to-find-promo, 
then you can guess that thousands of copies were stamped out, and all 
you've got to do is find one.




Like someone said earlier, your forgetting that somebody WROTE that track 
and i'm sure they would want people to hear it and own it.




Agreed, but the dj is doing them a favor by playing it... he's not 
prohibiting the promotion of the track or anything like that, simply 
promoting a nameless track, at that point.  It's certainly not detrimental 
to the track itself, when you consider that you'd never have even heard it 
to want it had the dj not played it for you (assumming it's something 
you've never heard before).


and maybe its just me, but that artist should have more control over who 
*deserves* to own than a dj who wants to keep his records special.


Deserves is a funny word.

a dj is incapable of keeping his records special, unless access to them is 
limited.  a dj concealing the names of his records is not himself limiting 
access to them in any way.

Bear in mind i'm not a chemist, but I doubt it'd do anything for just a few

tapwater, but i'm doubtful it'd hurt anything.




 I gather
most people dont have access to ultra-pure micrometre filtered autoclaved
water which is totally 100% pure, and unlikely to react with anything.


I'm not sure about sterile (autoclaved), but distilled water is available 
at the supermarket in big jugs, which should be straight-up h2o.

 there will be a new file format and it will have DVD quality sound.


What file format are you referring to, or are you making this up as you go?

by 'dvd-quality-sound', you either mean 5.1 surround (which doesn't 
directly benefit this appliction, although might have neat uses), or the 
fact that each channel is 48khz (dat quality).  CDs are 44.1khz, which is 
nearly indistinguishable from 48.


IIRC, MP3 supports 48khz sampling rate files.  If I'm wrong, and it 'only' 
supports 44.1khz, then it's still not that much of an audible difference.


If you're talking about DTS, that's an entirely different can of worms and 
is still years off from having reasonably priced computer equipment that 
can input/output that kind of sound.





 and no one will want to use the present format anymore.



MP3 supports the audio quality formats (16/48/stereo) that people have been 
using for years (15 years if you count 44.1, which is what CDs are).  To 
claim it's going to just 'go away' in the next 2 is kind of absurd.


 vinyl has stood the test of time, and it isn't going to disappear 
anytime soon.


As have CDs, which the huddled masses have eaten up as the end-all to audio 
quality.
