Basically the album is a free download , but you’re presented with a donation option, with all of the money going to the Dove House Hospice, England.
I’d say go ahead and donate at least 10 times more than the paypal cut (30 pence) for this download, it’s a really heavy release, this one. They could also have kept at least a small cut for themselves in my opinion, but hey, at least karma won’t punish them (“hi crabman”) for it.
You one of those long haired dope-beat fiends? Then you’ll like nodding your head the free collection of beats produced by St. Petersburg, Russia based Fama87. Off you go to download it, it’s worth it!
All these new methods of turning the principle of a dj set into a live performance surely can make you feel insignificant just playing out records the oldschool way. In comes Daedelus, and blows my mind with a 10 minute liveset using the monome 64 and 256 button versions. According to the man himself he hooks it up to Max/MSP using a max plugin/app called MLR to cut up samples and play back the splices on his monomes. Fucking wicked.
So, after a little research it turns out, we can all use this magic. There even used to be an iphone app around called haplome which, you guessed it, emulates the monome on the iphone. Sadly it seems it is discontinued. But keyboard/midi control is possible, so here goes
Auch wenn das hier nur als Draft aufgesetzt war, bin ich mal so frei, und poste es trotzdem, denn das Video ist sehr sehenswert/educating.
Ein komisch aussehender Producer namens Jim Pavlov baut mit Originalsamples Prodigy’s “Smack my bitch up” in Ableton nach.
Und dann als dreingabe für diesen Tontechnikerpost, gibts hier eine Klomessage, die garantiert Musikinteressierte davon abhält sich dort schick einen abzutaggen (so gesehen in der Glockenbachwerkstatt, wo es übrigens jeden dritten Freitag im Monat eine kostenlose Jazz-Jamsession gibt).
JohnBeez hat den Prototypen eines Crossfaders gebaut, der zu seiner normalen Misch-Funktion noch über einen Pitch über zwei Oktaven verfügt.
Das ist die Zukunft!
Good morning Susie Soho! It’s monday (again) and the office for filing me thesis application is closed today. So I had to revert to post this little gem of a song, “Ambling Alp” by the Brooklyn based (yes, in Brooklyn nearly everybody is a 22 y/o American Apparel dressed musical innovator/designer/artist. everybody else provides the former with drugs.) Yeasayer together with its stunning video.
After this, if you want to spoil a perfectly fine start into your week with a severe case of global bad conscience, watch the newly released Vice Guide to Travel’s “Vice Guide to Liberia”
And it was full of apples, and pudding. On a scientist’s list of favourite things, right next to coffee and a filled stapler, there’s cake. So I experimented with a few apples and some pudding, making my whole research group a bit happier. Turned out quite well, indeed.
So here’s the recipe lest I forget and so that YOU might make your colleagues happy too. I used the recipe by nreif on kochbar.de, and added a lot more flour than originally proposed.
Apple Crumble Pudding Cake
Teig
125 gr. Butter
125 gr. Zucker
ca 300 gr. Mehl
1 TL Zitronenschale gerieben
2 Stk. Eier
1 Pk. Vanillezucker
2 TL Backpulver Füllung
1 Pk. Vanillepudding
500 ml Milch
30 gr. Zucker
1 Stk. Ei
1 kg Äpfel Streusel
200 gr. Mehl
100 gr. Zucker
125 gr. Butter
1 Pk. Vanillezucker
1 Prise Salz
Teig: Butter geschmeidig rühren, Zucker, Vanillezucker und geriebene Zitronenschale unterrrühren. Eier nach und nach zugeben und gut verrühren. Mehl, Backpulver mischen hinzugeben und nochmals gut verrühren. Den Boden und Rand einer Springform 26cm damit auslegen.
Streusel: Alle Zutaten mit den Händen durcharbeiten, kühl stellen.
Füllung: Puddingpulver, Milch, Zucker, Eigelb glatt rühren und aufkochen. Eiweiß steif schlagen und unterheben. Erkalten lassen.
Äpfel schälen, entkernen und würfeln, wenn sie recht sauer sind mit ein wenig Zucker vermengen.
Den Pudding auf dem Boden veteilen, darauf die Äpfel geben. Obenauf die Streusel verteilen. Bei 160 etwa 60 Minuten auf mittlerer Schiene backen.
Oh, now if this ain’t sweet: Carl Craig rounds up all remaining members the 70’s Detroit Tribe Records, produces a new album with them (which was released on his own label planet e in 2009) and then tours together with them. You can watch a very high quality cover of their gig at Jazz à la Villette (Paris, September 2009) right below – and you should. But behold if you’re expecting Craig to pump out his old 4/4: this is a Jazz concert – a bit on the fusion side maybe. You might even have a hard time hearing wether Craig’s doing anything at all (except some strings and bleeps here and there) but the original band members make this still highly recommendable.
