faild! http://faild.de - "Munich we love you, but you're one stuck-up bitch. Pull the stick out of your ass and get laid." Fri, 07 May 2010 14:39:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Little Jimmy Scott http://faild.de/2010/05/little-jimmy-scott/ http://faild.de/2010/05/little-jimmy-scott/#comments Fri, 07 May 2010 14:22:42 +0000 flinz http://faild.de/?p=1269 I’m seriously baffled here. Just listened to the latest Gilles Peterson’s “Cinematic Orchestra Film Soundtrack Mix” (DO check it out) and heard this familiar tune from Twin Peaks, called “Sycamore Trees”, performed by Jimmy Scott. She really has the most beautiful voice, and.. Hold it right there – she’s a “Jimmy”? The FUCK?

Turns out she really is a Jimmy.

I present: “Little” Jimmy Scott, a singer who never had puberty take the angels out of his voice. He is a-mazing. Seeing that body and that voice together just gives me the shivers.

So the old man singing with a womans voice in the reknown Twin Peaks scene is indeed the performer himself, and not yet another Lynchian mindfuck as the psychedelic scene might suggest.

Here’s a live performance of Jimmy Scott. Close your eyes –  don’t you just want to fall in love with that voice?

Star Wars’s main cast as in the samurai movie directed by Akira Kurosawa (had he made it).

This is so cool on so many levels that it makes my geek-glands pump hard. And it goes on! Check out his costum figures section for the awesome Steampunk Star Wars, to name only one.

Just came accross this new I.D. & Baobinga release called Bass Music Sessions.

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!

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

  1. download and install the max/msp runtime
  2. download the patch nonome
  3. start mlr and nonome (both included)
  4. play around and have fun.

Damn this is exciting. I’m off to work now sadly.

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).
