here is your oppertunity! Bremzen and me are going to 'host' an evening of live electronics in a free jazzclub (Sju Huis) in Utrecht, the Netherlands.. we are looking for people in the Netherlands to invite to come and play. the setup would be like this: you bring your equipment, we decide on the night who plays with who and for how long and there you go! only electronics allowed, no acoustic instruments. at the moment we don't know the exact date, it would be somewhere in january or february (2003..). if you're interested, contact me at qrter@@quickhosts.com and we'd like to hear some of your stuff in mp3-form.. don't worry, any style is allowed, as long as you like improvising and playing together.. hope to hear from you.. :) |

yes, playing together is the key here...:) |
||||||||
|

Damn, I'd really like to do that, but I have no way of getting there. What do you mean, "yes, playing together is the key"? - haven't you heard Jazz ;) I'd love to do something like that... |
||||||||
|

|
|
shame shame Ceri Jazz players play together almost more then anyone else. you gotta listen to whats goin on around you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah but you haven't played at this club before.. ;) we played there together with the acoustic jazz people.. that was quite awful.. everybody playing at their loudest, nobody listening to anybody else, nobody giving way.. thats why it'll be only electronics, and only people we invite.. :) |
||||||||

wellllll, we already played at an improv session there before and it was a complete MESS. everybody on stage trying to wank off their one man show, whilst qrter and i every once and a while blurted out some samples... no fun that evening |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
damn you for being quicker than quick qrter:) |

I know, I was ribbing. People always say it sounds like they're playing different stuff, but you're right. I imagine it must be the one of hardest types of music to play :) |

it is man when i took my jazz ensembles last year, it was like... christ everyone just comes up with thier own part, and they have to compliment each other. i must say im glad im finished with those classes. wasnt my thing at all. im not one for on the spot kind of stuff. i like to take my time, plan it out etc. but not putting jazz down. just not my bag |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
um just to be clear.. we're NOT going to play jazz there.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
jazz fun music to play but just for the record: this session next jan/feb won't be jazz |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||

about jazz playing styles, that's one thing i love about the metal band Meshuggah. they use a lot of polyrhythmics in their songs, which adds for an incredibly complex and unusual sound. bizarre time signatures too. if you're feeling daring, download the song "Future Breed Machine" or "Rational Gaze" by Meshuggah |

Some local guys were talking about doing a drum machine circle. you know like hippie drum circles but with drum machines. But my thoughts are that unless there was one person in charge of running the sound board and everyones mix it would end up being a huge volume competition and end up sucking alot. local is california. |

hey C738, got your e-mail, thanks.. I'll get back to you in the following few days.. john is fast: that does sound like it would be just a wall of sound.. |
||||||||

|
|
ba-da-bump.. although no dutchies except me will be awake, I guess.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
dude, what about like, an online drum circle? one person could put a beat down for like 2 minutes, email it to some one else, they put beats down, email it, etc :D pretty cool, i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would actually be possible.. could do the same thing with any samples, really.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, I'll be waiting for the email. That drum circle thing is cool too. Emailing things through and stuff. I prefer that above the goodluck-chainletters. Does this have the same construction? when you sent it to eight people you get a record deal?? -C- |

Though I make electronic music, I'm not able to play live (I just use sortware, have no hardware), but I'll be there for sure. Please keep me informed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can still play live w/o hardware (apart from a mouse) just use re-birth :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed, but the style you get with using Re-birth is not exactly the style I like, but I still have to check out Ableton, which seems like a nice software package to play live with. |

qrter and i use cubase, works ok. you can drop samples in a large loop, play around with effects, or with a reaktor patch... it's fun, and you can go on for hours and hours:) |

last time.. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Id like to play, tho I dont know how...!? Heh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll have a look at Cubase, see if I can figure it out before january/february/march. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm.. cubase is very good.. at first, it seems kind of complex, but yoú should get the hang of it quite quickly.. but you can use anything you like, just as long as you can add/remove samples etc.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could use fruity loops for example.. *shudders* |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
...or logic...or ableton live... |
