N.A.S.A. - A Volta
Crazy 3D video from N.A.S.A. - A Volta [ft. Amanda Blank, Sizzla, and Lovefoxx]
That’s some gansta shit for real.
Squarepushin on the APC 40
Video of what appears to be Beef Wellington using his new APC 40. He’s basically set up a drum loop on each button and then for each square set up varying effects. I think he has it on a 1/8 or 1/4 quanitization so that nothing he hits can be that off and he just sort of mashes away from there.
His comments as explaination:
It is pretty random actually, for the most part. With everything prepped correctly, it’s hard to make something that sounds bad. I know the sound is bad on the video, but if you listen to the individual clips at the beginning you can see how it is laid out. There is a kick with repeating high hat, snare with repeating high hat, which create the foundation. Then different note variations (repetitions, reverses, etc.), and the Apache loop segments to add as accents.
5 tracks of clips with outputs routed to effects track. On that track is an effects rack with Knob 1 as chain select on autofilter, beat repeat, chorus & reverb. Knobs 5, 6, 7 were for one parameter on each of the first three effects.
Some of the clips are actually doubled notes. A clip’s length cannot be shorter than a 16th note, so I made of the clips 2-32nd hits, and some 3-16th note triplets. So those fast repetitions are just prepped samples that are a 16th note duration.
Akai APC 40 Customization
I just got the APC 40 and so far I’m really digging it. I did notice that there were some ideas/features that they didn’t include. I’ve been looking at it but so far haven’t ventured off to create my own templates yet. This guy did, good for him, he’s a real winner. Enjoy.
NEW ALBUM - FREELAND’S ‘COPE™’ - Topspin
Taken from Paper Buddha wrtten by Gary O who is a Sr. Director on the Marketing and Artist Services team of Topspin media. Topspin has been helping Freeland promote his new album and I’ve been really impressed with their web widgets. I think they have a viable business model and can help put artists in the driver seat for selling their art, bypass the major labels and connect people directly with the artists they love.
Back in March, I published a post re: the lead single from Freeland’s debut release ‘COPE™’. The record debuted today and you can stream it from end to end in the streaming player below. I really like what Adam Freeland has done with this new band and the cast of contributiung artists makes the record that much more diverse and unique (Jerry Casalefrom Devo, Brody Dale fromSpinnerette and Tommy Lee, to name a few). The record is getting great reviews, like this one from musicOMH which dubs ‘COPE™’ a modern counterpart to The Prodigy’s third record, ‘The Fat of the Land’
You can pick up ‘COPE™’ directly from freeland.fm in a variety of digital and physical formats including CD, vinyl and and even a Deluxe Edition that comes complete wth a hardbound COPE™ book, vinyl, CD, digital (high quality MP3, FLAC and Apple Lossless) and an ipod compatible video of a complete album listening party shot in Adam’s studio with his closest friends.

It’s a matter of fact…
..that from September 2008, London nightlife has experienced a change.
A three floor, 32,737 square feet, 2,600 capacity regeneration to be exact, in the shape of a ground breaking and unique new venue.
Named matter, it’s a purpose built space designed to offer an advanced new proposition for both live music and club nights in London. Created specifically to encompass new and bespoke levels of technology and comfort, matter is an as yet unparalleled platform for any artist performing in our capital city and every music lover there for the show.
The commitment has been made to create a venue that can encompass user-friendly, state of the art-technology, with a meticulous and considered attention to every detail, no matter how minor. From the matchless soundproofing techniques - all the better to showcase matter’s next level sound and visual components - to the sophisticated electronic retrieval system operating in the cloakroom, it is a commitment that even extends beyond the venue, as matter provides visitors with SafeTrip, an in-house transport service that ensures secure travel from venue to home, no matter what the time may be.
