Live Online #131: Patience

I’ve ordered myself a little boutique synthesizer kit from France called the Shruthi-1. I think it’ll play along nicely with my Doepfer Dark Energy. I’m hoping to play my windcontroller through it, provided I don’t bork the assembly. Now that I’m starting to get a handle on programming sound in Pd, it’ll be fun to get a little insight into the hardware side of things, too. Better start warming up the soldering iron!

Live Online #130: Data

Over the weekend, I started to get familiar with Pure Data, a free programming language for music and visuals. I was first introduced to Pd by Lee Chun in 2008, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it at the time. I’ve since discovered awesome tutorials for Pd on YouTube (the ones by Dr. Rafael Hernandez are especially great) and it’s really helped to demystify Pd for me. Watch this space!

The Big Question – update

Thanks to Chuang Tyng-Ruey for the photos (used under CC Attribution license).

Nice! The Big Question performance went pretty much as planned. I was very impressed by the sounds Lee Chun coded up in real-time using Pure Data, and I hope we can do something together in the future. I did a twenty-minute solo set before being joined first by Chang Jui-chuan and then Kou Chou Ching. I love how adding more performers to the mix bumps up the energy levels. People were on their feet and dancing for Freedom Zen, so a nice first live performance there for Jui-chuan and me. And speaking of bumping up the energy levels, Kou Chou Ching really let rip! My big thanks to Jui-chuan, Fan-chiang, Fish Lin, and DJ J-little. We had a small meeting before the show and solidified some plans for a joint album featuring Kou Chou Ching, Chang Jui-chuan, DJ Point and myself to be released around June 2009 – watch this space.

The part I was most nervous about was doing the Ableton Live mix – live in front of people.  Before the show I’d gone around recording random audience members, asking them to give me small sound bites to use in the mix. By the time I got to do the live mix, the audience had shrunk considerably  and remaining audience members had had ample helpings of the Free Beer (ie. brewed according to a CC licensed recipe) – I was very relieved to have the pressure released somewhat. I thought the live mix sounded pretty cool, thank you very much. Keeping in mind how I’ve been at it for less than two weeks. Unfortunately the recording I made didn’t amount to much, so I took some time yesterday to recreate the mix using the same sample-pool. What you hear is 95% the Live mix with about 5% sweetening added because I couldn’t resist. I think it’s pretty cool to zone out to.

You can listen to the whole mix and download a copy from the SoundCloud player below.
