(313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup
http://www.bartleby.com/65/na/narodnik.html I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but last Thursday was a performance by Narodniki in Berlin, which this time consisted of (Left to Right): http://www.c4.ca/narodniki.jpg Richie Hawtin Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric) Luciano Ricardo Villalobos Monolake Zip Scion/Vainqueur/Substance Cabane All played on their laptops, un-synched, at a tempo of 120 BPM, with the exception of Monolake who was the conductor, or better the controller, who used the mixer to determine which artists were being mixed with which and how. Zip and Ricardo also took a few moments to control. The best way to describe it is free-form laptop jazz orchestrated by a perfectionist. You gotta love European arts subsidies. Tosh
RE: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup
I'm really hoping something similar happens at Mutek next year. Not even necessarily all those same artists, even just the concept would be interesting to watch unfold. And when I showed that picture to my boyfriend, he said "That looks like Hollywood Squares!".

I've never been to Mutek, but I'm getting the info from Ableton's site: http://www.ableton.com/index.php?main=events&sub=narod_niki "NAROD NIKI is a collaboration project founded by Ricardo Villalobos that was presented for the first time at last year´s MUTEK Festival. The idea of the project is to bring together a number of techno masterminds to do a live jam, hiding their identities behind a collective alias to keep the attention dedicated to the music" ... "The exact lineup will, of course, remain secret. Even so, it should be quite obvious that the list of artists at this event can be nothing but long and extraordinary!!" So, it wouldn't be the exact same line up, but something as good. *** Now what I'd like to see personally is not a 20 guys standing behind laptops. That's about as exciting as 1 Guy sitting behind a laptop. I'd like to see 20 Skilled musicians/patchers with their Modulars and Step Sequencers, and them just going at it. Patching like wildmen.

Re: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup
Wow, inspiring! that sounds amazing. Ive always thought that these type of live performances would be the future for electronic music. because like it or not laptops, synths, and turn tables are instruments. Or atleast have the capability of being used as such. But, Im probably preaching to the choire here. chana --- Tosh Cooey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.bartleby.com/65/na/narodnik.html > > I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but last > Thursday was a performance by > Narodniki in Berlin, which this time consisted of > (Left to Right): > > http://www.c4.ca/narodniki.jpg > > Richie Hawtin > Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric) > Luciano > Ricardo Villalobos > Monolake > Zip > Scion/Vainqueur/Substance > Cabane > > All played on their laptops, un-synched, at a tempo > of 120 BPM, with the > exception of Monolake who was the conductor, or > better the controller, who used > the mixer to determine which artists were being > mixed with which and how.

Re: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup
actually I'm pretty sure I mentioned this just before or just after it was made public. there will be a detroit date if I have anything to say about it (and I guess I do, a little) neat idea, but dont be fooled into thinking this is the first time this has been done. -Joe - Original Message - From: "Tosh Cooey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 7:07 PM Subject: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup > http://www.bartleby.com/65/na/narodnik.html > > I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but last Thursday was a performance by > Narodniki in Berlin, which this time consisted of (Left to Right): > > http://www.c4.ca/narodniki.jpg > > Richie Hawtin > Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric) > Luciano > Ricardo Villalobos > Monolake > Zip > Scion/Vainqueur/Substance > Cabane > > All played on their laptops, un-synched, at a tempo of 120 BPM, with the > exception of Monolake who was the conductor, or better the controller, who used > the mixer to determine which artists were being mixed with which and how.

If you bounce around www.mutek.ca (i think if you hit the complete archives link, then browse to narod niki) you can find a couple links to audio streams. here is a direct link to the realaudio version. there are two quicktime versions as well, which may or may not have been fixed yet. http://www.mutek.ca/ref/2003/NAROD.ram http://www.mutek.ca/ref/2003/NAROD_192k_ref.mov On Oct 4, 2004, at 21:18, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: where's the recording jack? -- matt kane's brain http://hydrogenproject.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup
Was I the only one not feeling this set. I had listened to it before I knew who the "Supergroup" were and couldn't finish listening to it. Then after I learned it was comprised of some true superstars I listened to it all the way through and Just couldn't get into it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 6:28 PM To: Matt Kane's Brain Cc: 313@hyperreal.org; Tosh Cooey; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (313) Narodniki - The laptop supergroup it's been encoded onto mp3 and floating on soulseek as well for those who hate streaming On Fri, 8 Oct 2004, Matt Kane's Brain wrote: > If you bounce around www.mutek.ca (i think if you hit the complete > archives link, then browse to narod niki) you can find a couple links > to audio streams. here is a direct link to the realaudio version. > there are two quicktime versions as well, which may or may not have > been fixed yet. > > http://www.mutek.ca/ref/2003/NAROD.ram > > http://www.mutek.ca/ref/2003/NAROD_192k_ref.mov > > On Oct 4, 2004, at 21:18, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > where's the recording jack? > -- > matt kane's brain > http://hydrogenproject.com > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
