New member intro

2000-09-25 Thread Todd Gys
Hello everyone!

I've seriously been trying to join this list for about 4 years but something
always seemed to screw up with my mail server; problem finally solved!

Anyway, my name is Todd Gys.  I've been dj'ing deep detroit/berlin minimal
techno for about 6 years now.  I'm a big fan of the chain reaction, main
street, maurizio, and basic channel sound, but am also into the more minimal
stuff like the Studio 1 releases, profan, etc.  I'm sure I'll meet some
great people here into the same music.

I recently moved to Boston, MA from Columbus, OH.  Quite different out here;
haven't been able to find many people into the same sound I am.  If you're
from the Boston area, I'd love to get in touch and talk music!

Within the last 3 years, I've started to make some of my own tracks.  These
days I finally have a fully functional studio up and running and I've been
doing my best to churn out tracks.  I'm involved in a few ambient projects
right now, but have a few crunchy minimal tunes on cue to be released.

Anyway, thought I'd drop a line and introduce myself.  Anyone out there I
know already?

Anyone know of some e-zines worth checking out that focus on detroit techno?
Also, any good online record stores (besides submerge) that you could

greetings,

No, It's def. not spastik.  It's not nearly as manic as that.  Is has a
section of rapidly repeating snares, then a pause, then a series of snare
hits in the pattern of 1-2, 1-2-3-4.

I really need to hardwire my brain for audio out :-)

thanks for the suggestion,

RE: [313] Surgeon & tone-shifting

2000-09-27 Thread Todd Gys
More on the ambient tip...but if you're interested in seeing how
toneshifting can trick you into thinking something is there that isn't, take
a listen to Steve Reich's "It's gonna rain".

Reich was an early experimental/ambient musician that would sometimes take
spoken word stuff and chop it up into really repetitive segments..but in a
very subtle way.  Anyway, the repetitiveness starts to get ingrained in your
head and before long, you start fogetting you are hearing words and they
start to take on a more percussive nature.  There are no fancy effects or
anything, just repetitive speech which your mind starts to interpret as
something different.

It's very cool stuff...definitely bringing out a unique feature of our mind,
but you can't really shake your ass to it like you can with the Surgeon =]

Toneshifting (one word, for aesthetic reasons) is not a "style", it is a
result...

But generally, it only occurs with highly repetitive techno for anything
complex or melodic becomes an oppressive agent...

Simply put (I have to get to class), toneshifting is when the listener
projects his/her own melody onto the repetition, rather then the music
project out to the listener.  The track, as simple as can be is merely a
vehicle for whatever is in the listeners head, a compromise between the
artist and the listener, a truly interactive music (and I contend a relative
first in modern popular music)...

The reason for the term "toneshift" is that the general trend amongst
listeners is to change a monotonous single repeating tone or rhythm into a
major/minor note shift, usually occurring in 2 bar patterns...

sorry about the laymen's music terms...

I wish I was taking a trip there!

Archetype, if you haven't heard him, is pretty amazing.  His stuff ranges
from funky-smooth, to minimal, to out-there experimental, and back again
(sometimes within the same track!)...all the while keeping a certain
signature to it.  Definitely worth checking out if you ever get a chance.
His record releases are pretty sweet too- take a listen!

I've seen a few of his live PA's in Columbus and have been pretty blown
away; he knows how to get a crowd moving!

entire live PA's running only Reaktor and using a midi-knob controller to

I never really took Moby seriously until I heard his release under the name
"Voodoo Child".  This was one incredible album...definitely worth a listen.
There weren't too many made, but I've seen some cd's floating around...
It's very chill and minimal.  Almost a mix of deep detroity house with some
oldschool electro thrown in; it comes together quite well and is quite
un-Moby sounding.

RE: [313] R: [313] women and electronic music

2000-10-05 Thread Todd Gys
I was involved with a crew in columbus that promoted/supported women dj's
and musicians in the exact same manner as any male dj's.

Personally, I think women have a better natural ability to pick up on dj'ing
and producing music.  "Biologically" it's been shown that women have a
predisposed talent in detail-oriented tasks; something definitely worthwhile
when learning to beatmatch, or make music.  I'll never forget the first time
my girlfriend went to my turntables...she matched a beat on her very first
try.  Luck?  Doubt it...she had a natural knack.  She showed the same talent
when she all of the sudden decided to make a track on her own.

So why aren't there more?  My thought is that a lot of girls lack the
confidence to really go for it.  Let me explain myself before I get scorched
=]  Confidence is probably hard to come by for a lot of women because it is
such a male dominated scene right now.  Plus, there are going to be skeptics
who expect women dj's to prove themselves...that equates to more work to get
to the same point as a male in some cases.  Some may not even think about
trying it if they don't see other women doing the same thing...

Again though, I was lucky to be involved in a crew where we did support the
female talent...if you're good, you're good.  I for one really enjoy seeing
women behind the decks; on the whole, the women dj's I've seen have been
extremely charismatic and could really get the crowd pumping.

I don't think so... They have women's football...
that's a "male" dominated scene. If they wanna do it
they can, the likes of K.Hand prove this. They just
don't get involved, they're in no more danger in the
dj box than if they were on the dancefloor. The
toilets is where you get mugged anyhow... What are
they scared of? Most male dj's and promoters I know
want more women in the scene...

Keep in mind the whole set was done using only the Reaktor software program.
Incredible!!!  The encoding isn't the best quality and it's recorded at a

side of things...not many beats to speak of.

Anyway, enjoy.

RE: [313] Napster story...

2000-11-01 Thread Todd Gys
I respect BMG either way for realizing that Napster and other file sharing
technologies are going to stick around (legal or not) and working to find a
way to incorporate it into a business model.  I think if all the major
labels would see this like BMG, and worked together to create a subscription
service, it would be worth it to still be a member for most of the
mainstream music community.  Even if the service was $20 a month, it would
still be worth it for most people, considering the amount of music that
would be available, and would serve the artists and napster well.

That said, I would equally hate to see the Napster model drown in corporate
poo poo.

I guess I'm hoping it's determined that listers have a right to file
sharing; that way Napster can decide what's best for the service.

Friendliest UK record shops

2000-11-20 Thread Todd Gys
If you're looking for the most helpful record stores, these are my picks:

1. Ambient Soho
Their staff is really really cool and very knowledgable about all genres of
musik.  Do some artist/label name dropping and they'll point you to some
great stuff.  They turned me on to so many new artists and labels...really
incredible experiences in there.

2. Atlas Records
Ok, this place is the bomb for the detroit sound and the help there is
really into the same stuff.  Again, tell them the kind of stuff you're
looking for and they'll expose you to all sorts of new stuff you've probably
never heard, but will love.  I discovered a lot of UK labels from that place
including Bluetrain.  That's also where I found my copy of 3MB (Maurizio)
and Juan Atkin's colaboration...very cool.


Now, I have to also mention Sister Ray it's a great store, but a very
eclectic collection so the staff isn't as good at helping you find cool
stuff.  But, that said, I found all sorts of great classic Tresor, Plus 8,
etc.  Tons of rare IDM stuff in there too.  You'll like it.  I found one of
Hawtin's first ever releases in there ("From Our Minds to Yours" on States
of Mind).

Anyway you look at it, London has some kick ass record stores...but, alas,
you'll get screwed a little bit on the exchange rate.  It's worth it.

RE: [313] Redefinitions (was: Re: trading on napster)

2000-11-29 Thread Todd Gys
Vinyl and/or turntables will never die out.  CD DJ decks have been out for
over 5 years.  Smaller sized units, digital sound, and CD's are a much
physically smaller media with a ton more storage it would seem like a
sure fire replacement...

But, it hasn't caught on at all and most likely never will.  You will never
be able to manipulate a digital sound source the same way you can with the
tactile analogue interface of a record on a platter.

So you see, vinyl will never be "replaced"...sure the actual sounds can be
replicated in digital form but the actual art of vinyl mixing won't die out.

If anything, I think MP3 piracy in the dj domain actually helps music sales
of most techno artists.  Why?  Because most underground techknows produce
primarily on vinyl... and if I like the MP3 of the song, you can count on me
searching out where I can pick it up on wax.

You might think this is funny now... but... it won't be.

What happens when the current techological barriers to widespread
adoption of all-digital music performance-mixing are removed?  That
is to say, when the D in DJ will stand for Digital and not Disc.  And
yes, the word I used is "when", not "if".

Vinyl can already be more easily replaced with a digital file; all
we're waiting on is the interface.  And who the hell is going to lug
around a 50 lb. box of discs of plastic with little squiggly lines on
them after they're presented with a quality alternative?

I'd be interested in knowing when you think this will happen.
Because when it does, I'd like to know what you think will happen to
the small independent record labels because of it.

Just some post-Thanksgiving food for thought...

RE: [313] PC Recording

2000-12-11 Thread Todd Gys
I've got a whole studio set up so I have a master mixer where my dj mixer
plugs into.  The main mixer then goes into my PC soundcard.  I record the
whole mix to SoundForge.

You could record directly from your Dj mixer into your PC.  Only tricky part
is calibrating the levels on your mixer and the recording level of the
software you're using.  As a rule of thumb, I try to keep the mix peaking at
about -2...that gives me a bit of headroom if I want to crank the bass
without getting a clipped signal.

So far, the set up has worked really well.  Me and fellow 313 lister, John
Shipman have used my set up for recording to HD and then burning mixes to
Cd; the results have been spectacular.

Let me know if you need a deeper explaination of the setup.

Tripped out Detroit

2000-12-11 Thread Todd Gys
I've always found old school dub music to be the most psychedellic of all
music; they way King Tubby and the other great ones used flanger, delay, and
reverb was incredible...and in my opinion, impossible to recreate with
digital effects (as has been made painfully apparentl with most modern dub).
So naturally I've gravitated to the dub infected sound of Maurizio, Maus &
Stolle, Basic Channel label, Chain Reaction, Thule, Klang, etc.  Of course
most of this isn't really rooted in Detroit, but hey, 313ers talk about it
anyway =]  For me, it's the minimal techno & house sound heavy on well
placed delays, dub chords, etc. that really gets the noodle thinking on
another level.  Juan's "Starlight" fits this to a T and that's surely d-town
spawned =P

I like my techno sparse and my d'n'b dense =]

RE: [313] Maus & Stolle

2000-12-11 Thread Todd Gys
To tell you the truth
1. I don't know much about their bio at all
2. Anything you find by them is spectacular!

They are very dubby and deep sounding...along the lines of Maurizio.  But,
they use really really sweet moving melodies that are just so chill they
make your spine tingle.  Think really deep minimal beats with lush sweeping
melodic pads smeared on top =]  They do it in such a great way!

I know they've released stuff on Klang...and maybe Thule?  Not sure one that
one.

Anyway, they are some really incredible producers that truly have their own
sound in this growing dub/tech house niche.

OT: Tube Compression (was Basic Channel sound)

2000-12-20 Thread Todd Gys
Sorry for the OT post, but I know the people on this list can give me the
help I need!

Can someone explain exactly how a compressor can give tracks that nice warm
sound?  I know that Maurizio and the likes use a compressor almost as an
instrument.  How is this done?  What sound qualities is the compressor
putting into the track?  The only compression I've ever messed with was on
ReBirth and in SoundForgethe only thing I could really get it to do was
to reduce clipping.

I'm making deep dubby techno and house stuff and I know that eventually I'll
want to pick up a tube compressor to help my sound...but right now I'm
clueless as to what it will actually do for me.  Anyone out there
knowledgable on this subject?

Also, what are some good brands/models of tube compressors?  Would I be able
to get a decent one for around $500?

Thanks so much for any help!  Again, I apologize for the OT post.  The Tech
Gear list tends to not be very active sometimes.

I've been able to get some really nice sounds like that out of my Yamaha
AN1X, but you can get those sorts of sounds with pretty much any
analogue/virtual analogue synth.  The secret lies in the filtering and
effects you use.  I like the AN1x because the onboard effects can really be
pushed and abused to compliment the sounds.

Digital Jockey vs. Disc Jockey (was: Future of DJ'ing, also anyone at MIDEM?)

2001-01-22 Thread Todd Gys
I see benefits in both styles.  In any given party, there's always a group
of people that like to be up close to the dj to see him/her work the tables,
and then there are people that are into the music just as much who sit back
and dance/chill away from the dj.  So, if you're not hell bent on seeing
exactly what the dj is doing, then it shouldn't matter what medium s/he is
using.

I think being a digital-J could be really sweetbut for different
reasons.  With vinyl mixing, most of the effort and time is spent matching
beats, creating a flow a flow on the fly.  This creates a great live energy
feeland is (and always will be) awesome to experience both as the dj and
the listener.  However, with a digital set already put together, the effort
of the dj can be spent in other departments; especially effects.  I've been
toying around with some pre-made sets, and then working them through a Space
Echo, Filter, spring reverb, and digi-reverb.  The result is quite mind
blowing and I'm actually way more animated tweaking all those effects than
when I'm doing a straight up turntable mix.  Though the source may be
pre-made, the result is anything but stagnant sounding.

For me, what counts is the end producthow it SOUNDS.  As long as you're
doing something creative on the fly...something that can compliment the mood
of the crowd, isn't that what really counts for a dj?

As a dj, I will always have a deep love for the tactile feel of vinyl.  But,
I'm not gonna turn my shoulder to new things that can enhance the
experience.

I'm talking about effects.  The effects I use are old school analogue with
lots of physical manipulations possible: knobs, switches, etc., all that can
drastically change the sound of whatever is going through it...if you've
ever used a space echo, you'll know what I'm talking about.  Very very
physical device.  Every dj that has used my set up has fallen in love with
the effects I use; upon the first try, they are all really comfortable
tweaking them.  The effects are very dj friendly in that you can manipulate
the sounds with the same actions as you do on a mixer or on the turntable
itself.  Using the effects is such a natural progression and compliments the
turntable experience because of the spontaneity- if you take away the
turntables and replaced them with a different sound source, this spontaneity
can still be maintained through the use of the effects.  They are analogue,
like the turntable and thus all parameters can only be adjusted on the
fly...no programming.

Whatever signal you put through the effect chain becomes something much
deeper than hitting "play" and letting people listen to some predisposed
set. Hell, I've done entire ambient sets by routing an A.M. talk radio
through this stuff...the result is quite musical and vibrant and you can't
get a much more mundane source signal =]

But alas, I'm sorta stepping into the realm of live production vs. djing so
I'm not sure what this has contributed to the debate (and yes, this is a
great one!)

Birth of 313TechKnow

2001-01-22 Thread Todd Gys
Hey 313ers,
Quick announcement and invitation:  The Tech-Gear list seems to have drifted
away; this was an eGroups list with 313 music production techniques as the
main focus.  I was going to take over Tech-Gear as moderator, but apparently
it was taken down before I got a response.  Reason being that the active
community just wasn't large enough.

However, I think that list was a great idea, so a new list has been created
to provide 313 producers, both novice and experienced, with a place to talk
about specific production techniques, reviews of gear, etc.  If you produce
your own music and want to share ideas or get tips from other musicians,
this is the place to do it.  If you've ever wanted to start making your own
detroit-style tracks and don't know where to begin, this is a great
opportunity.

I'm hoping to make 313TechKnow the perfect compliment to our list here at
hyperreal.  313@hyperreal.org deals with the music we love;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will deal with how to make it.

I'm going to keep an active role as moderator to ensure that all posts are
313 relevant so no one will have to deal with candy-ravers asking how to
make Goa trance from their cracked copy of ReBirth =]  That in mind however,
the list will be still be open minded in styles; trying to enlist members
with interests in everything from hard UR-style electro to the deep dubby
minimal sounds coming out of berlin.

Anyway, I would love to establish a strong community for the list, so if you
are interested please subscribe.  I'm going to do my best to recruit members
with a throrough knowledge base about 313-related production techniques.

RE: [313] experimental hip hop?

2001-02-07 Thread Todd Gys
Not exactly experimental in their beats...but Digable Planets have always
been a favorite of mine.  Definite dub influences in a lot of their tracks
and sweet stream-of-conscious lyrics.

You may also want to check out some of dj slip's stuff.  He does some
hip-hop type stuff that's pretty out there.

I'm currently working on a project combining berlin/detroit dub techniques
with dirt deep hip hop beatsI'll keep you posted on that if you're
interested.

RE: [313] Archetype (was Help!!!)

2001-02-14 Thread Todd Gys
Hey,
Archetype will have a track on the first release of set.go.recordings.  It's
a new label mainly focussing on deep detroit/berlin styles- from minimal to
maximal =]  Also planned for the first release are tracks from Christian
Bloch, Monolake, and Twine.  I'm expecting the record to be released in
early summer.  Keep your eyes open.  More info on the label and release to
come shortly.

RE: [313] Deep Chord Questions.

2001-03-14 Thread Todd Gys
Many artists in that vein of glitchy dubby stuff do their final masters on
cassette tapes.  That's where the hiss comes from but also what gives the
records a lot of warmth.

New tracks from GYS

2001-03-21 Thread Todd Gys
Hey,
I've got some new tracks up on the web for anyone that's interested.  If you
like the sound of the dubby detroit/berlin sound a la Chain Reaction, Basic
Channel, etc., you'll probably dig it.  Feed back is always appreciated.
