Bill Van Loo recently posted on the Ableton Live Forum about the USB keyboard he re-purposed as an Ableton Live. This is an awesome idea - the only drawback for me would be that I’d currently have to take my powered USB hub to Logickal gigs, something I try to avoid (but also something that could change in the future). You can check out all of the photos of the controller’s construction over at Bill’s Flickr set, and make sure to check out his Website, Blog and Music while you’re at it!
Alright - A quick pre-Thanksgiving reminder to all you ATL folks to come out to Nophest, a weekend-long festival of music and crafts being sponsored by our good friends at Nophi Records. Friday night’s entertainment consists of a large number of laptop/electronic performers inside, including yours truly at 10:30. It should be a wonderful evening for all kinds of glitchiness, so come out to the 11:11 Teahouse - everything starts at 8pm on the 24th, and costs $10 a day or $25 for a weekend pass.
In other Logickal news, DJB is getting video up from the Buzz and Click show back at the beginning of the month… You can check out the Logickal performance in Real Video or Windows Media (what, John??? No Quicktime!?!) or head over to the Buzz and Click 4 page for the rest of the artists… 3kStatic should be up in a day or two, methinks.
So, happy holiday - and hope to see some of you in Atlanta!
Ok, so any New York City types should come out tomorrow night (that’s the 17th of November for you unobservant time-traveling types)to the Ace of Clubs (9 Great Jones Street between Broadway and Lafayette) and say hi as 3kStatic brings the noise to the Big Apple for the second time this year. Doors open at 7 for this $10 show - also on the bill are Adam Lippmann, The Energy, Scarlet X and Telenovela Star (looks like 3k is the only electronic noise on the bill).
Update: Looks like the logistics are in, and I’ll be flying solo for this one! Come out if you’re in the area, and stay tuned for more exciting NYC 3kNews on the horizon!

Logickal is finally going to get some ATL-style love courtesy of our friends down at Nophi Recordings, who are hosting the first ever Nophest over the weekend of 24-26 November. Big, huge, dirty ups to Threv and R_Garcia for inviting me down. Although the page lists me at 1:30-2:00 AM on Friday, I think I’ve been moved to 10:30-11:00 (also Friday). Hope to see some of my Atlanta-type friends out there for the free beer!
Vlad Spears of the 2Second(fuse) blog has developed an absolutely incredible collection of VST/Audio Unit plugins for OS X - Daevl.Plugs. I’ve been working with them non-stop for the past week or so while they were in beta, and have not been so impressed with a collection of audio manglers in quite some time. Thanks to Vlad for the incredible plugs and the opportunity to join The League of Extraordinary Beta Testers - I’m working on a full review right now, but you can run over there and grab the demo and get to Daevl-ation.
In the meantime, I’ll remind any Nashville-area folks that you’ll be able to hear these plugs in action at Buzz & Click IV, coming up this Saturday…
Yes, it’s a day late - but found this on the Create Digital Music comments…
Also as a personal aside, on All Saints Day in 1990 I saw Skinny Puppy for the first time, at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, MO. Just thought I’d share.
