Matrixsynth

cypod — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:33:43 GMT

Recently got wise to a cool synth blog from an undisclosed email list:
http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/

This one has lots of nice synth pictures, some text and even youtube videos for some articles. The question I ask you, is where are the samples. How do we know that the blogger isn't just copying images from the manufacturer's webpage and post them online? Over all this blog seems fairly active and could be worth subscribing, to keep up on the world of hardware synths.

Where is the drummachine archive online?

looppool — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 23:21:22 GMT

I read that it had been put back up and I can't find it anywhere in
a google search.

Also, there seems to be no mention of it in this tribe which seems strange.

I was trying to show a student of mine, this impressive collection in talking about
drum machines.

Rebirth of the Podcast

cypod — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:22:52 GMT

Yahoo decided to shut down webjay, they say to get more people on yahoo music. As a result electo-net has moved over to Odeo.com, and we have a new format, with song tittles and artist's being announced. This episode feature: Cypod “Nintendo Girl”, from the Daly City Records Mochipet remix competition; Saturnines “Ride Bikes” from the peloton-musique 2X-LP bicycle compilation; and Mystified “Leakage”

do you want a side gig?

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 22:51:20 GMT

that would be great...thanks

it is important that the person can also handle the other 'tech support' stuff...but, really, estalbishing a relationship with Mick and getting h im interested in learning more about what makes his computer tick and how to use it for music would be the main thing.
And since he's 14 and all that...well, 'nuff said.

Hacktivity

cypod — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 18:27:32 GMT

What is with all these hacks? Do hacker's have ethics. It's like graffiti on trees, Not cool! Hopefully the taggers will learn that rooftops with phat peaces is kind alright, and digital hackers will stick to gunning for fox news or the army. Seriously low budget artistic sites don't need it. Electronic video music needs more venues and content, please stop fowlling up the ones there are!

resently hacked sites: What they used to be:

Hi DMM!

So, I work at http://www.techsoup.org now and we're doing this project called NetSquared. The site for the project is here: http://www.netsquared.org. It's a pretty cool project, based on Web 2.0 application in the non-profit sector.

I'm writing to:

2) Invite you to collaborate with us. VJs, Electronic Musicians, etc. - please let me know if you're interested in participating in upcoming events and I will plug you in with the right people.

This is a great opportunity for networking and community building. I also think the WhiteBox Project could lend itself as a good model for documentation on this project.

Anyway, info below on the event next week.

I hope this finds you all well in the land of the beeps.

Who Owns the "Tenderloft" ?

cypod — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 17:48:54 GMT

Apparently someone is listening, here at DMM.tribe.net we have received some fan mail, DJ M writes:

I started the Tenderloft with some friends back in January 2002. Since then the space has been taken over by M***** T and the Drum Machine museum guys. Could I trouble you to discontinue referring to the space as "Tenderloft" in your online promotions? I've spoken with people at Drum Machine Museum about this in the past and they have consented to do so. From the perspective of the original residents, the Tenderloft identity went with us when we moved out, and we reserve the right to the name. Perhaps you could call it "Drum Machine Museum" or simply "142 Taylor?"

Thanks, all the best

Response:
First off, dmm.tribe.net would like to apologize for any confusion regarding posting to online message boards and the use of the "Tenderloft identity." At the same time, DJ M in his letter does not claim to have thought up the name; rather, he and his friends merely used it. This seems some what unlikely, since he has 0 friends; maybe they're not on tribe?
Does anyone know who thought up the name "Tenderloft"? How does DJ M feel about http://tenderloft.tribe.net ? Understandably DJ M does not claim to hold a copyright on the title, but as creative people dmm.tribe.net wants to do the right think and respect people's intellectual property. The question is, does DJ M own the title or is it in public domain?
On the other hand since dmm has the space now what should we call it to?
One suggestion that I thought of was, the "Sky box." This would be in reference to earlier dmm events known as the "White Box."

It seems that that particular part of the SF theater district is changing rapidly; almost ever venue on the strip has been renamed in the last few years:

Now The Arrow Bar (Neon Cobra) vs Then The Charleston (dart board)
Now Lit (pool table) vs. Then Pow (playstation)
Now Anu (Straight Irish) vs. Then Ginger's Two (Gay Afro-American)

And lastly why do I keep changing out at all these dive bars?

I hope everyone had a good night out. My was mixed. Mile Tileman displayed a full frequency understanding of Logic Audio during his workshop, and the Audiovoid set was real cool to vj too. The introduction of live action painting really added to the party vibe thanks too Brian Barnelco. If only everyone was into listen electronic music, on the way home I got jacked. Just off bart in East Oakland five guys jumped out of a car and went after me. The bloody me up a little (I'm typing this up with a sprained hand), but all they got was a skateboard and my left shoe.

A Tale of Two Laptop Performances

cypod — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 01:01:03 GMT

A tale of two point one laptop performances

Monday night after work, a small crowd gathered in the Mills college concert hall for the Song Lines series latest offering of Tim Perkis and Wobbly. Some of the of the audience members may have been surprised to learn that Simon W. Smith would not be playing, but all were excited about the substitution of two well established local artists. The music began in the ethereal ambient style, which evolved in to a serial medley of processed sounds and impulses.
The second movement of the evening was very quiet, at times I was wondering whether we were listing to an extended reverb effect or someone from the practice rooms down the hall. And then deep, fast and hard rhythmic thumpings came through the spatialized Mills concert hall PA. These beats lasted only long enough to establish their rhythmic intent before being changed up into still yet alternately timed stylings.
Ultimately the performance expressed a great deal of freedom from structure. The duo’s sound would most likely falling into the sound effects genre. Of particular interest was the artists use micro tonality in manipulating the samples and ever shifting downbeat for a rhythmic base. The group’s instrumentation consisted of one laptop performer and on CDJ, sequence sampler performer. The usual question and answer period instead becomes a casual networking opportunity for an audience almost entirely composed of electronic musicians.
On the other side of the bay, some time after midnight Sunday morning a veritable chamber ensemble entirely composed of Laptops gathers. The group consisted of (from left to right): Abe/Damiak (konstrukt), Daniel/Twittering Machine, David Molina, Mochipet, Jason, Andy Highland, Gavin, Terrac and was collective called the mochipet techno orchestra. The group is there to put a close to the afternoon’s workshop on Circuit Bending hosted by the Drum Machine Museum. Already a well established alternative space, the venue formerly known as the Tenderloft is host to a variety of people including party goers, break dancers, electronic music nerds and other colourful characters.
The music is very steady, a testament to the number of laptops that can be slaved to the same MIDI clock. The sounds mostly stem from clean banks of samples of short drum sounds. Another impressive feet, is how some many laptops can fit together with out making the sound too dense. Assumedly each one is providing just a short rhythmic phrase. Though they played but one long song, it subtly changed as the different rhythms reconfigured them selves to provide added nuance and variation.
The crowd loved it as the dance floor filled up and arms plus legs swung around in time to the beats. I guess the old saying about after midnight is true. It is good to know that music is still as a social catalyst; though, in each case for subtly different groups of people.
