1Song1Week1Year - Week 15 - Busking

YouTube via DJDJSMusic — April 09, 2010 — "When I first saw the Tenori-On on other people's YouTube Videos I knew I wanted to have one, despite the negative comments some people where making on various boards (I knew that those people just didn't get it). But the most amazing thing about my sudden love affair with an instrument I didn't even know existed before last August was that I saw myself standing in front of an audience playing music with one.

Now this may not seem a big deal to you. But I am someone who spent my teen years either reading SF books or playing computer games, and who spent his professional life programming computers. I have no musical training, I don't know a "Key" from a "Cord" and couldn't hold a tune to save my own life. But suddenly I have this image of playing my music in front of a live audience. Well... at 43 years of age I guess I'm having a mid life crisis.

I have had great fun this past half year with my on-line social networking and making my YouTube videos. But there is only one true test for music and that is playing in front of a live audience.

So last Saturday I purchased a battery powered Amp. and I have spent the last week practising my songs "out loud" for the first time.
Tomorrow's weather forecast is "Dry with sunny spells" so I don't have the usual Irish excuse of the weather to stop me. Will I actually be able to hold my nerve to stand in the street and play my music, and what will the people passing by make of it?
Stop by my blog http://www.djdjs.com/ for updates :)
PS Luckily I'll be able to delete this comment if it all goes pear shaped."

A progressive theme

YouTube via attorks — April 09, 2010 — "This sequence developed while I was experimenting with my newly built Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO. Also the Buchla LoPass Gate is used to mix various sources. The Doepfer MAQ16/3 has an 8 step sequence on row 1 which is driving the Synthesizers.com, the TZ VCO and the Blacet MiniWave. Row 2 has an 8 step sequence which is driving the self-built Modular. Row 3 has a 16 step sequence driving the Roland XP-80 with a bass sound. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and the high string sound come from the Waldorf Q Keyboard."

"This is a musical exploration experience in which multiple participants simultaneously interact with a sound synthesizer by arranging a special set of pieces on top of a multitouch surface.

Pieces exhibit different behaviours when placed on the surface - some act like triggers in a drum machine, some behave like a kaoss pad, while others add extra layers of sound to make the performance really come together. Pieces are sensitive to their position and orientation on the table, so users can cycle through different instruments or modulate sound parameters with a simple twisting or sliding motion.

We believe the key here is to design a system which is simple enough for people with little musical ability to enjoy, while providing enough control to allow people with a stronger background to deliver more complex performances. It´s similar to the reactable, but provides a simpler interface for everyone to enjoy.

Hofstra Honors Herb Deutsch with Moog Modular Display

"Hofstra Honors Professor Emeritus of Music Herbert Deutsch and Unveils

A Display of the Moog Synthesizer That He Co-Created with Robert Moog,

An Invention That Revolutionized Music

Wednesday, April 14, 2010, at 11:15 a.m., New Academic Building, South Campus

Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Hofstra University Professor Emeritus of Music Herbert Deutsch will be honored for his years of service to the University and his place in music history in a special ceremony on April 14, 2010, at 11:15 a.m. The ceremony will see the unveiling of a display featuring the Moog synthesizer, co-created by Dr. Robert Moog and Professor Deutsch in 1964 –an invention that changed the course of music history.

The display is situated in Hofstra’s New Academic Building, located on the South Campus. In addition to Hofstra students, alumni, faculty and administrators, the ceremony will be attended by Michael Adams, president of Moog Music, located in Asheville, North Carolina.

Professor Deutsch, who is a resident of Massapequa Park, NY, is also a Hofstra alumnus, having graduated in 1956 with a B.S. in education. He returned to the University as a professor in the early 1960s. At a 1963 New York State School Music Association Conference, Professor Deutsch met Dr. Robert Moog , who invited him to collaborate on the design and development of a music synthesizer. Professor Deutsch received a $200 research grant from Hofstra to be used toward expenses on the project. Dr. Moog and Professor Deutsch designed the first prototype synthesizer in July 1964 and completed its construction by the fall of that same year.

Professor Deutsch is also a well-known composer, who has received approximately 15 ASCAP awards and more than 20 Meet the Composer grants. In 2007 he was named Music Educator of Note by the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. A composer of music in various media, Professor Deutsch’s work has been widely performed and commissioned works have been featured at national and regional conferences of The Music Educators National Conference, Small Computers and the Arts Network, the Society for Electro acoustic Music in the United States and other organizations.

In 1972 he co-founded and currently serves as president of the Long Island Composers Alliance (LICA). He has served several previous terms as president and is also the Alliance’s archivist. In 1973 he created the first "Music By and For Students" concert for LICA. During his teaching career at Hofstra, he founded the Jazz Ensemble, the Electronic Music Studios, The New Music Ensemble and developed B.S. degree programs in Composition/Theory, Jazz & Commercial Music and Music Merchandising.

The display that will be featured at the April 14 ceremony showcases not only Hofstra’s first synthesizer but also correspondence from Dr. Moog and a congratulatory letter from Hofstra confirming Professor Deutsch’s $200 research grant.

For more information on the ceremony, call Hofstra’s Department of Music at (516) 463-5490 or the Office of University Relations at (516) 463-6819.

This film was recorded at Roth Händle studios in Stockholm. This is where I spend my days and some oif my nights trying to record and produce music. This is a lot of fun. The studio is open to the public so if you feel like coming by for a cup of coffee or to record a triple concept album about goblins all performed on glitchy cables you are more than welcome."
