Re: [313] Live shows...
] A bassist (like Jaco or Squarepusher) with an acoustic bass, an electric ] bass with some pedals (like wah and bass synth), an SH-101, and a strap-on ] controller controlling a MIDI'd 303. The bassist would also have the ] ability to trigger little arpeggios or patterns or loop and manipulate his ] own playing. Maybe. However most producers are single entities. You rarely see large groups (or groups at all) in our field of music. I gather this is because once that happens, autonomy of production is lost and most producers like to have total control over their work. If you had Earth-Wind-Fire sized electronic groups (7 members or maybe even more), then you could more than likely see these people get out front and play one (maybe even two) instruments real time live. Its humanly impossible to control 10-15 instruments with only one person playing all of them live, so most people use Midi Sequencers to control playback of the tracks because they dont have 10 brains, 20 arms, and 20 eyes to all monitor, play, and time 10 or more different instruments at once. Improvisation can still occur, that's for sure, but the experience you seem to be after is one more based around other forms of music played live. Oh, these 3 guys wouldn't be using all their instruments at once or anything. The bass guy would have his bass rig, the rhythm guy would have his rhythm rig, and the keys/synth guy would have his. They'd each be filling a part of the spectrum. I think yeah, this sounds more like jazzy electronic stuff. But think, techno or house could easily be done like this. I'm sure there are live PA's that have a guy on an MPC, somebody on keys and a sequencer, and then maybe some dude on an SH-101. Oh, well, I'll stop talkin now, thanks for the reply and input = ) Rhythm_Droid _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Live shows...
Personally I don't care what they're using as long as the crowd can tell that they're doing something. It's currently still hard to get alot of crazy live stuff goin with the laptop, but that has yet to change (leaving us all-hardware-based producers in the dust! = ) Hey Oliver, would you be at all interested in going more in depth with how your setup will go? What software will you be running? And what's this "control surface" your talking about. Very curious, can't wait to see you in action = ) Personally, I've never seen a live act yet that has REALLY impressed me. Here in Los Angeles we get dicks shoved in our mouths (a bad thing, in this case, at least) with acts that are either not live, or don't do anything exciting. If I was to experience a performance that would make me have to change my underwear because of how sickening it was, it'd be something like: A percussion cat who can improvise on drum machines (analog, and sample/loop based) live running them in different time signatures, with the ability to do fills and rolls and bombs and even musical questions, answers, and mockeries of other memebers. A keyboardist similar to Herbie Hancock on some analog synths and a Rhodes and live analog step sequencers, with the ability to loop the MIDI data from his live playing and tweak that in real time. A bassist (like Jaco or Squarepusher) with an acoustic bass, an electric bass with some pedals (like wah and bass synth), an SH-101, and a strap-on controller controlling a MIDI'd 303. The bassist would also have the ability to trigger little arpeggios or patterns or loop and manipulate his own playing. That'd be sick. Maybe it'll happen someday? Anyone seen anything remotely like this? Thanks, Devon _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Afterparty Webpage?
Greetings my 909 rimshots and 808 claves, I was thinking that it'd be cool to post up a link to a big page of all the afterparties goin on for our weekend of bliss. You know, just like a simple text page or somethin. Anyone willing to set this up? I think it'd be really convenient. Maybe that's just me??, whatever I'd try and do it myself on my geocities page, but I wouldn't be able to maintain it due to limited access. Any input appreciated Rhythm_Droid _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Mills and the 909
I have never had the chance to see hear Mills spin and utilize the TR-909 (or spin period, for that matter). Has anyone heard him do this (with the 909)? I'm wondering what it sounds like and how it compares (sonically, complexity-wise, etc.) to Hawtin's use of it. Any info is appreciated. Thanks! = ) Devon _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Re: [313] Hawtin question
I've heard a mix called "Live at Chemistry" . It was of the medium-spicy side, but lemme tell you, in the middle of that shit he cut to straight 909 and what appeared to be live 303 work! It could have been a 101, but dude, it sounded very acidic, and very live. You should check it out, the problem is that I don't know where my buddy got the mix from...sorry = ( (prolly Napster anyway) Rhythm_Droid _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

RE: [313] DEMF Archive Track ID???
Thanks alot!! Appreciate it! Hey Nathan, I don't know the name of your track. But I have an older version of it on the first techno tape I ever owned. She's actually sayin "I love music" Other vocal bits from the song that may help you get it ID'd one day: "Get it on Get it onget it on yeah" "I love music, any kind of music, just as long as it's swingin, all the joy that it's bringin" "It makes me laugh, makes me cry, all the while (I think), whenever I'm with you babe, while I hold you in my arms I'm so glad that your mine..all mine mine mine" "Music is the healin force of the wo-orld...It's understood by every man woman boy and girl and that's why that's why I say I love music" I don't know if it is pointless for me to be spouting this, but someone may actually know this song cause of these lyrics, I dunno. Let me know when you find the name. I'll ask my friend who gave me the tape. Good Luck, and thanks again Braden for that other ID = ) Rhythm_Droid _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Red Planet PRODUCER ID???
Hey all, ever heard the Red Planet track "The Voice of Grandmother" It's pretty good, the 909 electro beat is ok, but the SICKEST thing about this song is the bassline. In the middle of the song, there's this muting of all the drums and stuff and the only thing remaining are these ethereal chords and a hand-played bassline solo. Sounds like an SH-101 I think (yes? no?). Sickening indeed. Aaaannnyyywaay: Who did this song? The label says "Produced by The Martian" Any help appreciated. Thanks alot!!

Track Collectability??
Hey all, I don't have this record right in front of me, but last year I picked up an old record on the Inner City label with a couple tunes by some Detroit heads. The record was a collection of five or six versions of a song called Ain't Nobody Better. There was a Duane Bradley remix, a Juan Atkins Techno Trix Mix, and a Kevin "Master Reece" Saunderson/Paris Grey remix, to name a few. It's from 1988. Anyone familiar with this release? Is this record collectable or anything?? Thanks for info = ) Devon Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
