10 Minutes

What a great weekend… I know there are a few people waiting for me to post the screencast of my presentation at the Nashville Ableton User’s Group, but it DEFINITELY needs some editing. I also need to render off my set from Ombi Friday night. In the meantime, here’s a treat for everyone. Motivated by the length of time he can spend in his unarirconditioned office, Chris Randall over at Analog Industries challenged us to create a track in under 10 minutes, from soup to nuts. Inspired by Friday’s sessions, I ended up going through the process twice, creating screencasts of each one. In fact, a lot of the things I covered in the user’s group meeting are demonstrated here as well. I should note that it should be a given that I want a copy of their new plug in, Automaton.

So without further ado, I present two off-kilter hymns to last night’s full moon: Fullmoonskeever and Fullmoonmachines.

Weekenders and a little bit of music.

Nashville area robots: Tomorrow (Friday 8/15) I’m going to be out on the town doing a couple of events! First off, I will be presenting at the Nashville Ableton Live User’s Group at SAE starting at 6PM. I’ll be talking about using Live for performance from DJ-based sets to total sequencing improv. I’m thinking about also delving into some Racks/Drum Racks/Slicing fun.

Afterwards, I’ve been invited to do a set at Forward>>, taking place at 10PM at Ombi on Elliston Place. I was originally planning to do a DJ set, but the flyer says I’m doing a performance, so I might be going all out… There’s no cover, so be there!

In the meantime, here’s a bit of music for you… CDM wrote up a bit on a newish Mac-based generative music application called Nodal. My friend Vlad at Daevlmakr.com turned me on to this some time ago, and I tinkered a bit. I’ve not had the time to get incredibly deep, but I was prompted (via Twitter) to go back and play around a little bit more. This piece was created with Live, where Midi clips were created from the output of Nodal, with a little bit of Follow Actions thrown in for good measure. Hope you enjoy it…

Recorded by Logickal the morning of Saturday, January 12, 2008. Improvisation built entirely from triggered sine-wave synth notes that begin the piece, permutated using Live’s Sampler instrument and Follow Actions. Featuring a cameo appearance from some of the Daevl.Plugs for good measure. The structure of the piece flows through the permutations in a fairly linear manner.
