Re: [313] OT:laptop-take backup

2001-01-04 Thread synthetic detronik
I hate the idea of doing shows with laptops, but then again its more 
compact.  I have the infinit need to have the gear in front of me.  
something about all the knobs and sliders.  I do however utilize a sampler 
to capture sounds from devices i dont want to take out live.  But all my 
beats, i create improve style on the fly, like jazz.  then my assistant 
tracks my moves with the synths.  I would be concerned of crashes with 
computers.  What the hell do you do if its not working? I dont worry about 
having that problem, if one piece is malfunctioning, i skip it and move on.  
with the computer, if it is rendered defective, your in a world of danger.  
I suggest taking one drum machine and a speak and spell along with a bleep 
device.  then if your computer crashes you will be forced to create a new 
sound.   sometimes, what was not expected, is the key to evolution.

This was a collaboration between berlin video artists visomat and detroits

thank you very much for the compliment.  far to often it goes by

funkstorung show

2000-10-06 Thread synthetic detronik
last night was a great night at motor. i feel for all that could not make 
it.


live sets were every where.  besides the rocky start of funkstorung having 
lost their luggage at the famous metro airport, all went very well.  very 
impressive sets from everyone.  made one feel the need to experiment.  we, 
detronik, went on around 10:30 and pealed back peoples ears and vibrated 
their feet with our excessive bass sounds and over all f'ed with people.  we 
got all crazy with tempo changes, killing the tempo all together and letting 
my infamous crazy modded 606 vibrate the floor on off tempo points.  special 
props to the burst audio crew for the precise sound architecture.  
Funkstorung went on right after us, and let me tell you, for coming into the 
airport at 5 or 6pm, looseing their luggage, and not sound checking.  They 
shook the place with manipulated sound cuts on the notebook pc and the blend 
of turntables.  Im really thinking this whole half live and half dj stuff is 
getting more and more impressive.  This was a great night for people that 
like experimentation.


p.s. oh dont forget about that really great video installation:)

good day,

Re: [313] experimentation

2000-07-19 Thread synthetic detronik
My point was simply that the term "experimental" has become over used >and 
stagnent in meaning.  I am pushing for a more descriptive and in->depth 
analysis of what Micho is doing.



alright, I was hopeing I could avoid typeing a long email, however, 
respectfully I must explain what I do.


My visual arts i.e. video installations portray a microcosm of societies 
strangulation by mediated tactiles.  For instance, my installations 
typically consist of larger then life television forms perverting the icon 
of tv as a "demi-god" type alter (like the huge collisiums with monolithic 
statues of our heros in greek games)  But now, its "techno" and its in a 
dark club with nowhere to hide, because the room has been wired with cameras 
that bring the public into the same arena as the performer.  The tactiles of 
a mediated installation reaches out captures the performance, washes to the 
crowd picking out people and electronically transferring them to the 
monolithic archs with the performers, because thats what its all about, the 
music, the soul, and the reaction of the crowd.


the experiment:: destroy the common "boundry" between performer and crowd, 
individualize the people from the masses and project them onto a mass 
communicative device.  I simply overly exagerate what society does.


My audio experimentations are very experimentive in my opinion.  You can 
decide for yourself.  I take drum machines and toys amongst other 
instruments and open them up.  The experiment is to disect them, find the 
sound creating areas and give them the ability to be organic and have the 
option of having interaction by the human environment.  i.e. take the 
tr-606, my most extensive experiment.  I gave it the ability to have control 
by human interaction to alter the sounds which were not controllable before. 
 The sounds are then taken to another level where say the hihats can 
fluctuate in pitch by a cv in that controls the variance of the filter with 
every pulse transmitted to that.  The toys are given an alternate brain 
which makes them do different things then what they were intended.  The 
sound is then transmitted to the audience by means of live interaction with 
balanceing multiple drum machines
with toys and various sounds.  I make the beats live and manipulate the 
sounds live.


the experiment::  sure its been done, but not to the degree im taking it.  
now a days alot of people presequence, preprogram, presample, pre this and 
pre that.  I aint doin it.  its all live baby, just manipluations of 
cycleing patterns and makeing that "repetition" sound as organic as possible 
with as little digital as possible with a degree of interaction previously 
unobtainable. call it modern electro-jazz or whatever.


so heres the scoop, my grand daddy was a scientist here in detroit many 
moons ago.  he invented many forms of metallic paint and what later became 
known as napalm.  sure paint had been around for years, he took it a step 
further and invented metallic paint for automobiles, and today, they still 
use it, he still gets paid for the patents.  napalm was utilized in war, 
that was simply a defunct paint mixture he came up with that was highly 
combustionable.


The Moral::
one must learn the rules to break the rules and take it a step further.. and 
reinventing is what it might be, but its another step in our evolution.  
experimental is experimentation, be it some simple thing to some complex 
thing, to each their own, as long as its experimentation to the one 
experimenting, then its experimental.


much respect,

art?:

I was trying to hide behind my tv's.  I think anyone that lives here in 
detroit has probably seen my work at one time or another.  Most dont  know 
me though. I do the massive television/camera installations you encounter at 
clubs or galleries.  I like to portray a microcosm of our mass communicated 
society in a inclosed environment.


as for experimental:

I do experimental sound by balanceing 4-5 drum machines that I have modified 
in some form with modified toys.

Hes like a brother to me.  love the guy.  he has a special place in my 
heart.  he was one of the people responsible for criticals success.

Re: [313] a chord-flames

2000-07-03 Thread synthetic detronik

1) something one must avoid to evolve.


What are you trying to say?
That we should throw 1000 years of music theory overboard?


I love starting a heated discussion.  I apalogize for freeking out some of 
you that dont know me.


Im not saying throw out 1000 years of music theory.  By all means no.  What 
Im saying is take what we have learned and de-program that.  I call it 
"anti-logics" basically take the chord theory try tossing it out and create 
new "chords" that are not the average...  say multi-algorithmic sound 
variations that randomize and create a new form.  "randomized chords"  Im 
all about the experimentation.  Chords I personally feel have "trapped" us 
from evolving.  Try setting it aside and creat a track without it and see 
what happens, then take a chord, take out parts and add a variable to it for 
another track then so on and so on.  Im not saying abandon the "chord" 
theory.  I mean, to experiment anyway, one must know the rules to break the 
rules right?  otherwise, one would make the same mistakes evolution has made 
and why would we want to do that?  We need to make our own mistakes and 
evolve from them.


how about that for something to think about?

for all those in the detroit area on the 07.15.00:

detronik is doing a live p.a. for the "fourth street" fair or celebration, I 
dont really know what the exact title of it is.
Time is unknown, I will update later.  For all those interested, detronik is 
a live "on the fly" type electronic performance.  We basically manipulate 
beats and various sounds as we go along.  All improvisational, kind of like 
the old school jazz days, but the sound is very synthetic.  My contribution 
to this project is the beat manipulation and variation.  I have specially 
modified devices that allow me to alter beats in a way previously 
unobtainable by analogue gear.


gear planned to be used:

electropercussive devices::
TR-808
TR-707
TR-606 (x2)

synthetic sound devices::
SH-101
MC-202
MS-2000

Abstract devices::
Speak and Spell
Speak and Touch

go to the corner of winder and orleans.  its all on the walls, the graffiti, 
the footsteps, the flyers, tristan getting held up by an AK-47, the girl

Wanted: TR-808, an alternative

2000-05-16 Thread synthetic detronik

Sorry this post isn't music related.
I'm looking to purchase a Roland TR-808 drum machine. Anyone selling?


I know that this is once again off topic, however if it wasnt for these 
devices there would be no 313.


If you have no luck finding an 808, i modify the more readilly available and 
cost effective TR-606.  I can expand its capabilities beyond comprehension.  
the 606 bass drum becomes quite comparible to the 808.


respectfully,
Micho

Re: [313] old tresor albums by detroit artists

2000-05-12 Thread synthetic detronik

kind of funny story for you all.

once upon a time about 3 or 4 years ago i went to this little antique shop 
on cass (dtown).  Well they sell all sorts of weird found things and pawned 
off stuff.  They had this rack of vinyl, lots of old classics detroit soul 
and what not.  after digging thru it a bit, i came across like 30 white 
labels of Eddie Fowlkes, dont know how or why they got there but i bought 
like 20 for $.25 each.  White labels and numbered... rare find.  Im not a 
huge vinyl collector because im a starving musician/video artist, but this 
was pretty cool, there were also other detroit techno classics as well as 
some really unusual ones i never heard of some of which i bought just 
because i liked the cover art.  some were kind of cheezy, but most of them 
were pretty damn cool.


unfortunately, i believe most of them got lost in london when my partners 
vinyl case got swiped, i dont know though.

detronik audio

2000-05-04 Thread synthetic detronik
since we are doing something at "speak in tongues" in cleveland and 
"science" here in detroit this month of may, we figured we oughta give 
another clip representative of detronik


www.mp3.com/detronik

this real audio clip is an example of what we do live and what we are 
attempting to get pressed to vinyl within the next few months.  still 
looking for a label...  If you get a chance check it out, its about 11-12 
minutes long.


thanks

D.E.M.F.:question

2000-05-02 Thread synthetic detronik

alright, heres the deal... (playing my very small violin)

Im just going to come out and say that I want to be apart of this event.  I 
sent our CD and all sorts of info. to the address I had, but I just dont 
know if thats enough.  I need to get some personal contact numbers and 
e-mail address's.


Alot of people know us as the people that have done the mass tv video 
installations for the likes of planet e, motor, and science.  We also have 
gotten the recognition for doing modifications to 606's and makeing them 
into an entirely new breed...  However the sound work we do has gone by 
un-noticed to many people here in detroit, probably because we are so busy 
with doing the video and sound work we just dont get out enough, who knows?  
This world is just not fair to us hard working artists sometimes.


Anyway this heart wrenching message comes from my heart and soul and the 
need to share our sound creations with all of you on this list.  I can only 
describe that the sounds we create have alot of the detroit routes since i 
lived here all my life , yet the experimental randomness makes it at times 
sound a bit more on a "tribalistic" "tech-step" feel.  I hate to even try to 
categorize it, however I heard the description of "jungleish" style sound 
done all on analogue gear has been given this title.  We arent jungle, but 
we are %100 live with analogue gear and my very intricate beat manipulation 
at times sounds jungleish or d+b ish.


O.k. thats enough, I apalogize for the pathetic display of violin playing.  
If anyone can be of some assistance I would very much appreciate this.

detronik - finally recorded!

2000-04-04 Thread synthetic detronik
Its about f'n time.  After like ten years.  We finally recorded digitally 
(apprx. 24minutes) 4 tracks to make available to the public.  This was a 
real trial for me and I admire all those who record on a normal basis.  I 
usually do all my sound as a live P.A. set and trying to crame all that 
sound into four 5-6 minute tracks was quite rough, but it worked out really 
quite well.  So heres the story, We used the following gear:


TR-606  x2
TR-707
Simmons SDS9
TB-303
MC-202
Poly 6 x2
JP-8000 (digital mimiking analogue!)
JX/3P and programmer
Various toys

and lots of gatorade, mountain dew and cables... ohh too many cables, I 
almost broke my leg, got a head injury, and never got outside because of all 
of those cables!


The sound is very percussive and at times sounds like electronic tribal 
drumming yet theres a distinct 4/4 detroit feel to it.  One of my favorites 
I named after my son "ronnan" tons of really good drumming.  Im a freeking 
nut when it comes to mixing my drum sounds.


So what Im getting at is, alot may know me as the video man (installations 
here in detroit on a regular basis) and the modifier.  Now you can hear what 
I do audio wise.

If your interested, write me back at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thankyou kindly for your time.
