We don’t need no library

  • #26
  • 19/06/08

We will cancel our Library …

Saturday 28 June, 16.00 – 21.00

Sunday 29 June, 12.00 – 17.00

Mediamatic will give away all its books. We will cancel our library in protest to skimpy Dutch art funding policy.

All members of the mediamatic.net community (and other book lovers) can pick up their favorite books for free. You just have to publish the ownership on your profile. And promise that you will always honor a lending request from an other community member. Et voilá, a distributed library.

First come, first serve. We have a library with thousands of books, magazines and multimedia. And there will be a bookbar and some music.

Location

Mediamatic office, Post CS building, Oosterdokskade 5, fifth floor, Amsterdam

Will Mediamatic fall a similar fate as STEIM? Will the Dutch government concede and cough up more tax payers’ money? Read more here.… Continue reading...

This is for Autumn, and all it leaves behind

  • #19
  • 24/10/06

Autumn is beautiful in Delaware. White Clay especially.

This started off as a minimalist experiment but turned into a layered extravaganza. I am considering reworking it without drums and going with my inital minimalist vision with just the Winds and perhaps the Dyna Rhodes. As is, it has a Winds section, a Western Flute, Organ, a Shakuhachi (Japanese end-blown flute), a newspaper, footsteps coming down the stairs, a whistle, the click of a camera, and a door slam shut. Oh, and some programmed drums of course (though I didn’t spend as much time on these drums as I did in Fortune Cookie).

Messing Around

Instead of eating, I decided to mess around on Reason. Bad news though. My mp3 plug-in expired and now I’m exporting to realmedia format… BLAH.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! 

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.  And you know what you know.
And YOU  are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets.  Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen,
don't worry.  Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll  start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the

Thursday Mixer

  • #11
  • 15/09/06

Mr. Magoo’s Poop Experiment – Thursday Mixer (Featuring J-Ali).mp3

This song was fashioned through the use of copy and paste layering. The mixer is the the only active instrument in which the mute button’s are mapped onto keys. Steve Zigler showed me this in Reason and I thought I’d create a song showing it’s power. It is similar to what artists would do with an analog 8-track mixer and use of up/down-sampling.… Continue reading...

I Don’t Sleep/Fall With Me

  • 13/09/06

I’ve changed this song around alot and finally got something that sounds better than that crap Viola patch (I used to have ‘I Don’t Sleep’ on here but have reworked the song). The distorted guitar sound is the same patch I use in “Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Stars” (Bass Plucked Pizzicato) except with a Scream4 distortion filter ontop. Here it is:

Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Stars.

Mr. Magoo’s Poop Experiment – Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Stars.mp3

I had to experiment with the Bass Plucked Pizzicato patch I picked up for the NN-XT. There are 9 wave file samples of a cello transposed onto a range of 1.5 tones. The transposed sounds are indistuinshable. The distorted guitar is actually a Subtractor Patch with a Phased Oscillator and a high frequency filter. The drums are filtered with a Tape Filter to produce a high-bass deteriorated analog sound.

Performing Directions:

All performers play from the same page of 53 melodic patterns played in sequence. Any number of any kind of instruments can play. A group of about 35 is desired if possible but smaller or larger groups will work. If vocalist(s) join in they can use any vowel and consonant sounds they like.

Patterns are to be played consecutively with each performer having the freedom to determine how many times he or she will repeat each pattern before moving on to the next. There is no fixed rule as to the number of repetitions a pattern may have, however, since performances normally average between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, it can be assumed that one would repeat each pattern from somewhere between 45 seconds and a minute and a half or longer.

It is very important that performers listen very carefully to one another and this means occasionally to drop out and listen. As an ensemble, it is very desirable to play very softly as well as very loudly and to try to diminuendo and crescendo together.

Each pattern can be played in unison or canonically in any alignment with itself
