Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony
Hi guys, Yeah i flew down to the Melbourne gig with Mills and May…. It rocked. Up in my top 5 gigs of all time. Mills was solid and he controlled the Orchestra. With May the Orchestra was more just playing his track. So it didn’t seem as if he has the same control as Mills did. Either way Mays section was REALLY good…. All his stuff worked really well. Icon was killer…. In fact i won’t start listing tracks as they all worked. He had 2 opera singers chiming in on a few tracks and it worked really well. Crows was into it and up and dancing for the majority. Sound wasn’t too loud but was solid. Amazon, Icon and the strings of the strings of life were probably my highlights. The Bells seemed a little dull in comparison to last time i heard it with Mills in Melbourne a few years back. Anyway - yeah…. Top 5 for me :) Ed > On 1 Feb 2016, at 1:55 PM, 313-digest-h...@hyperreal.org wrote: > > > 313 Digest 1 Feb 2016 02:55:41 - Issue 4325 > > Topics (messages 105371 through 105372) > > Re: The Plan - Plan A > 105371 by: jwan allen > > Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony? > 105372 by: Patrick Wacher > > Administrivia: > > To subscribe to the digest, e-mail: > 313-digest-subscr...@hyperreal.org > > To unsubscribe from the digest, e-mail: > 313-digest-unsubscr...@hyperreal.org > > To post to the list, e-mail: > 313@hyperreal.org > > > -- > > > From: jwan allen > Subject: Re: The Plan - Plan A > Date: 26 January 2016 at 1:42:21 AM AEDT > To: cliff thomas > Cc: kent williams , list 313 <313@hyperreal.org> > > > I love the "inside techno" talk.

Re: Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony?
I'm glad to hear someone else say this. I know that these orchestras are trying to attract different audiences and all, but it really is not very fitting. In the "performances" of this sort I've seen (a recent Carl Craig one comes to mind) button pushing looks really stupid next to bowed strings and woodwinds. One is a discipline that takes a decade to master. Derrick didn't even play the piano on his most famous tune. Think about that for the second. They are really not comparable, and don't even belong on the same stage.

Re: Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony?
Thanks all so far and hope to hear more. Would've loved to be there myself and experience it first hand. Not long ago really enjoyed Jeff's Exhibitionist 2 live show in Tokyo with G. Mitchell on keys accompanied Japanese lady on Moog and J guy on Bass guitar. No I Feel Love live version played ;-) > On 1 Feb 2016, at 14:06, Samuel Karmel wrote: > > didnt bother going...i feel personally it is kind of regressive doing this > orchestra thing, going to their dj set thing this week, hoping not to hear > "i feel love"! > >> On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 3:03 PM, Jimmy wrote: >> My brother and his friends all went (I no longer live there). >> >> They all said it was amazing and that Derrick was the best and his music >> suited it the most. >> >> They came out and did a planned encore of a new track that was very awesome >> also. >> >> >> The amphitheater they played at is such a good venue too.

Re: Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony?
didnt bother going...i feel personally it is kind of regressive doing this orchestra thing, going to their dj set thing this week, hoping not to hear "i feel love"!

Re: Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony?
My brother and his friends all went (I no longer live there). They all said it was amazing and that Derrick was the best and his music suited it the most. They came out and did a planned encore of a new track that was very awesome also. The amphitheater they played at is such a good venue too. Can't imagine it was anything but great. > On Jan 31, 2016, at 10:30 PM, Richard Hester wrote: > > Interesting - I'd be curious as to how that worked out as well. > On another note, I'll be presenting a radio special this Friday on the work > or Matt Cogger, who passed away when I wasn't looking.

Re: Any reports on Mills, May & Melbourne Symphony?
Interesting - I'd be curious as to how that worked out as well. On another note, I'll be presenting a radio special this Friday on the work or Matt Cogger, who passed away when I wasn't looking. For 313 content, he interned with Derrick May at Transmat, and baby-sat the label while Derrick was cutting a DJ swath through Europe. He has significant releases on Irdial. Buzz, and New Electronica, These days, significant artists and individuals are slipping away in droves - I don't think I really need to name all the names. Most distressing are the ones who slip away unbeknownst, like Laura Gavoor, who showed me much kindness and hospitality when I trekked to Detroit in '95 for the 10th anniversary Metroplex do. I never got to talk all that much to Matt. I did a radio special feature in '97 on Lee Purkis, Cogger, and Luke Slater. I got to talk to Luke and Lee at length, but Matt was working in a tony drinking establishment in London at the time, so our hours mere pretty much disjoint - I did manage to wake him up, which wasn't appreciated. I found out about his demise recently quite by accident when I was researching his Irdial Cosmat DJ set. The special will be on Friday, Feb 5, 2016 at 10PM-2A Pacific time (GMT-8) on KFJC-FM, 89.7 (www.kfjc.org). Broadcasts are streamed live and archived for 2 weeks at kfjc.org.
