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.

To this day, I have an enormous musical crush on Delia Derbyshire’s work. I simply CANNOT wait to be able to browse this archive, and if anyone involved in this planned project to commission new peices inspired by her work is reading - sign me up.

Create Digital Music » Archivist Responds: Yes, Virginia, Delia Derbyshire Really Was That Awesome

David Butler of the University of Manchester was one of two archivists who started undertaking the work of assembling a library of Derbyshire’s ground-breaking work. He writes in CDM’s comments that this is no BBC special effect: the recordings are very much real. He also clears up some of the confusion about their discovery, and offers more on the tantalizing cut “NOAH’s dance.”

Everyone should RUN, not walk, to 45tribute.com and donate $5 in memory of Elektron co-founder Daniel Hansson. Your $5 goes to the World Wildlife Fund, and in return you get 30 tracks (with an additional 31 tracks available for free) from a seriously incredibly group of artists. It’s good music for a good cause, so what are you waiting for?

David Byrne’s Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists — and Megastars

What is called the music business today, however, is not the business of producing music. At some point it became the business of selling CDs in plastic cases, and that business will soon be over. But that’s not bad news for music, and it’s certainly not bad news for musicians. Indeed, with all the ways to reach an audience, there have never been more opportunities for artists.

Everyone should read this:

But it was really good. It released us from something. It wasn’t nihilistic, implying that the music’s not worth anything at all. It was the total opposite. And people took it as it was meant. Maybe that’s just people having a little faith in what we’re doing.
