Re: (313) X-102 clips
Oh don't get me wrong, the Tenori-on is awesome machine (and looks really cool to) but it just didn't fit into my image of a MM live kinda thing ;-) But then again i am just a stubborn dutch country guy ;-) I really am waiting to see one pop-up in a store so i can play around with because i am not sure if it will fit into my workflow but maybe i just want one because of all the flashy lights on those things ;-) On 27 jun 2008, at 09:13, Kevin Reynolds wrote: Of course Mike and Jeff would use the Tenori-on.

Think about it, did Roland ever market the XOX to any inner city people? Peace!

He was definitely using a Tenori-On...as supplied by us. I had several conversations with Mike about its' possibilities and what he might do with it. Really glad to see it turning up at the X-102 gig - it's a deep little box- built in sounds are not to every one's taste but that's what the MIDi out is for :) cheers Jason 2008/6/24 Klaas-Jan Jongsma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Mike was using a Tenori-on?

Re: (313) X-102 clips
Hey Ken I heard yours was like watching you wait for the metro whilst reading your mail Ronny! ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist! haha - don't be - just bring it on! ;) Well you do use ableton don't you? So I thought you were being a little unfair on X-102, even though I agree with you. I have to dismiss, i'm not using Ableton. And err, just to put things into perspective before any kind of SW/HW discussion comes up. I absolutely worship X-102 for the greatness, the music and everything. Big up. I was just merely talking about the fact that they both looked absolutely absent on those vids.

Thanks for those James, we had a great time at Sonar - you can't really go wrong with 4 days in the BCN, paying the price now tho. m
RE: (313) X-102 clips
As far as I could see, there were no laptops involved in the performance. Jeff was on 4 cdjs, a couple of mixing consoles and what looked like a small silver 909 styled box. Mike was on a newish Korg, some other keyboard, and was using a Tenori-on for sequencing on some tracks. They didnt start until around 3:15 and I guess about 10 minutes into the set they had to stop and draw the curtains back due to technical difficulties. I got there right when they started again and yes, it was pure sonic warfare :) Sure, there were alot of slips and off beat moments throughout like any improv style jam. But when it came together the thickness and texture of the sound was fantastic. The venue is a gigantic warehouse with multi-point sound, massive laser and light rigs and three giant screens so I think the majority of the crowd couldnt even see the stage or any potential hands in the air theatrics :) . That is probably why they don't focus much on the stage presence. The atmosphere is more of what I have seen at raves than at clubs, with a focus on anonymous performance, except of course for the big blowup shots of mike and jeff looking earnestly at the machines in their button down shirts. Here are a few more clips from the performance. You can see Jeff and Mike working the machines from the video screens on some of these. Also, I uploaded snippets of an interview done with Jeff earlier on Saturday at Sonar by Day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdY2aiKEzcE x-102 at Sonar 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRmh61xAFcY x-102 at Sonar 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s8m9Y_JDEI x-102 at Sonar 5 Jeff Mills Interview Snippets jeff mills on street music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TB_VDYPtjM jeff mills on track ideas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEIA36Y0pzk jeff mills on his production style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja9A8TZhw3o jeff mills on musical inspiration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDqcyJ8s3NQ jeff mills on Underground Resistance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APREuxv_0yw jeff mills on moving to production from djing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAQ-OuWliZ4 Jeff Mills on electronic music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiNVxeasatk jeff mills on production standards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBcK37VJEMQ Enjoy
