| good mornin
I am me. Dolhpins are pretty cool but they look a little to slippery for my tastes, but maybe that's a good thing.
My time is spent on school and music and other little things.
Stay tuned to find out the meaning of life as I;m stil working on it.
Yes, I cam from that vagina.
As for techno having it's own section... well I don't know what you guys mean by techno.I use it as a vague term for general electronic music. What do you see it as? |

| they're really particular about music here. Techno is electronic-based music with 4/4 beat, tempo in the 130-150bpm range, and it is generally light on melodies, but heavy on rhythms. Most people here take it as an insult cuz they say it has no soul or talent anymore. But there is good stuff out there.
Welcome to this site though! |

| thanks dude
can someone tell me what these sat mix sessions are like? |

| I'm the director of the program so I'll be running everything. I wish I could tell you what it will actually be like but truth is I have no idea. We've never done it before. We looked into it and nobody has done this anywhere!
Theoretically it'll be like a University with a 5 week semester where the Bacc students spend one sunday in a different subject to get a feel for it and try some exercises. The subjects are mixing, scratching, production 1 (hardware), production 2 (software), and then there's a bonus Urban Culture section that introduces break dance, graffiti, and MCing with the idea that those would be offered as their own subjects when this thing gets established.
Then there's the masters students who pick one subject to work on for the full 5 weeks. We don't offer the urban culture as a masters level yet. The others are on an popping.
Then there's the PHD level who are former masters students who are talented and we think they could join our staff, so we give them an audition to see how well they work and how good they really are. Since we don't have grads, we've filled these spots with talented individuals from the montreal scene who we would have made staff if we had more positions.
Finally there's the Post-doc professors and they are the instructors and councillors on the course. They are all pros and headline parties, host radio shows, produce and release tracks, and generally make positive influences in the underground hip hop, jungle, breaks, techno, and reggae communities.
Everyone gets a digital yearbook with clips and pics of the course, their audio projects, as well as the best tracks to come oout of the program. Everyone also gets a course-specific wrist band that gets them into Urban Knowledge events for free. In a couple years we want to open Urban Knowledge 416 in TO and the wristie gets you in there free too. Plus if any of our staff or alum blow up big, you're from the same roots.
I hope that gives you an idea. If you have any questions, I'm the geek to send em to.
Peace |

| The SAT Mix session is also our promotion night. There's 3 parts to the project. mix session, junior, and the web program. I needed to write that down anyway. :P Now I have a copy too!
I'm going to go tonight, but I'lll be there at 8. It's kind of hit-and-miss. Sometimes the jam and visuals are siiiick, and other times you sit there and think "maybe I don't get it".
Sorry bout the diatribe. Like I said. I'm the geek! ;)
Peace |
