seriously ... what's that for? Incase someone breaks into your house to record a set ? o_O

I did actually (in fact I know all this 'cause of an episode of Bullshit xD ) just didn't want to talk about enemas :P

... and yes, indeed :)

qft!
+ 1 million :)

Well, even though, he did do some pretty spaced-out drug-driven solos, and set guitars on fire - destroying instruments may have been getting popular at the time (see The Who) but it was still pretty original. Blues progressions or not, his style of playing was vastly different, and he marked himself as special during that period.

I agree Fred, maybe the only path to new music is new instruments. Though it's true that you need some pretty major music skills to create something new, as we mentioned perhaps influenced by Classical, some of the most innovative styles came into being because of a lack of musical education (think Punk Rock).

Geez, this is hard to get a handle on!

All I know is that any real artist spends their life-time trying to make the perfect song. They probably all die never having met their lofty goal ridden with spectacular criteria ...

New instrument + new song structure + advanced electronics/technology = the Future ?

Yeah, it was like weird non-orgasmic orgies, surrounded himself with naked chicks but didn't do much. I know it's odd bashing on someone who did alot of positive, but fuck you gotta be informed about everything as to not get suckered into thinking it was all good and become a blind follower ;)

Yup, she did some really cool shit when I played Québec city last Friday night :)

Also, I Faust DJing at Pandemonium -- I wonder if she still VJs ?

You can check out the KO (CTRL now?) VJs, they seem pretty good ...

And of course, Pocaille, great stuff!

Actually, Gandhi was a racist o_O

No one is perfect, but alot of those martyr-type heroes, like Mother Theresa, had some nasty shit up their sleeves ...

In fact, Amy's (back to the subject at hand) drug addiction pales in comparison to some people who are compared to Saints, who's semi-hidden agendas go way beyond fucking up a concert.

Illusions - who still has 'em?? Right, delusional people who still look up to religious icons ...
At least with pop-stars and rock-stars you know what you get: songs + sex drugs & rock'n'roll.

Better you than that SRSLY GUISE dog! ^

made: got my first cell phone!
ruined: can't really use it, it's the info-line for my party

made: finally getting around to making music
ruined: oh fuck I'm ravewave instead of FL studio ... xD
made: *goes back to making music*

oh noes you said the P word! *runs and hides*

... And the ravers lived happily ever after. XD

ha! wtf ... Glad you got it running =)

There are some people in the breakcore scene trying that stuff out, gets some cool results! Audio/visual mash-up from break-head types is also on the brink ...

Interesting! Playing our currently futuristic sounding music on sci-fi looking instruments could be our only way of moving forward ...

I'm still waiting for cybernetics and bio-tech to come up with a cable I can jack into my brain to translate the music in my head ;)

Oddly, nothing will ever beat the sound of a guitar and some real drums ... sound created in our real environment has a special human attack to it. But, with limitations - unfortunately. We have to do more to filter that stuff through electronics, get the best of both worlds!

AND, listening what's going on outside right now, we have to find a way of harnessing the sound of thunder!! (not à la ac/dc xD )

(Now I'll work on a track, and pretend I'm in the year 2056 :p )

Maybe then people should be trying to create new sounds (actual sounds, not styles of music) ?

I know all frequencies have been explored, but with all the filters, effects, synths, and technology, I suppose there is some sort of sound out there waiting to be discovered ...

In some sci-fi books I've read recently, the only music they mention is either dub or frenetic jazz ... in sci-fi movies they tend to throw in electronic stuff that sounds like the 80s. (not very innovative since they're supposed to be *whatever number of* years in the future xD )

What the fuck could possibly sound futuristic now? Just another variation on Techno?

Only the best for my dear Montrealers ;)

BTW: I'm considering a 5$ discount, with proof of residence, for people coming in from Ottawa, Toronto, or Quebec City .. if enough people from those cities are interested! Let me know :)

Info-line is up! Follow the calendar link in the first post, call the day before the party :)

parts are awesome. I approve ;)

ass? xD

well, if anyone brilliant AND mature posts on ravewave, Noah's gonna have to shut the site down :P

haha xD .. wait are you serious? o_O
Ich Bin Ein Recorder!

You might have to go back to putting out mix-tapes :P

yeah, those old guys get younger everyday :P

Music has come a long way in the last 100 years. Technology has been changing its face for a while now, and presently music seems to have met it's boundaries, every aspect of sound explored, to the point where an amalgamation is the current solution (dubstyle, industrial-metal, rock-techno-remixes, drumstep, psycore, etc.). We all know dubstep is the big thing right now. Every style has a hundred sub-genres ...

But what does the future hold for music? What would you want to hear in your tunes? What would sound futuristic to you? What's the next step?

Music has alot to play with - digital/analogue/organic, tempo, time-signatures, distortion, rhythms, vocals/samples/instrumentals, mood, ambiance, beats/ambient, etc...

I think pushing music further might have to include going back to really old styles, beyond retro, into classical. Using the interesting and nearly forgotten techniques, and abusing technology to explore new realms that couldn't be touched by those old geniuses. Hardcore Techno with a new time-sig and orchestral structures, topped with a yet-to-be-discovered synth-sound.

Even though production value has increased dramatically, and very interesting sounds are being created, the basics of a song are becoming stagnant ('specially in the pop world) and people mimic what can make 'em famous instead of forging new sounds. Then again, it would seem as though everything has been tried ...

Once the present music comes to a head, what's next?

(ps. I'm not talking at all about erasing or disliking existing genres, just wondering what you people think about the future)

Well, honestly you're all my friends online too, we just can't share a beer and have a proper chat in a forum xD

I think it's obvious that I'm the same person on 'net or in life, but I guess some people feel the need to express themselves differently in different environments ... but that's why sometimes you have to appreciate the person behind the keyboard to understand the persona coming out of the other side of the wiring.

Still, being a bit more of dick online is much better than pretending to be an 8 year old girl when you're really a 42 year old man ... know-what-i-mean?

This thread needs some love:

Y'know, I don't care how much you all hate on eachother online, you're all my friends in the really real world =D

''If you get rid of all the cock-suckers, who's gonna suck all the cock!?''

Maybe it's just one of your wires. When I record the vocals for my radio show, the jack I use the plug the mic in has recently been acting up, and I get these big clicky sounds. Gotta play around with the adapter to get it to sit just right so I don't have the noise.

Wires are assholes. Almost every single noise/sound-fuckery problem I've had over the years with gear has been faulty/broken wiring.

Under all circumstances:
Trouble-shooting step 4 - change the wires! xD

Can't you get a RCA to 1/8 inch wire, and plug your mixer into the mic input, then record with something like Soundforge? Does that not float your boat 'cause the recording will probably be in mono?

Along similar lines, can't you use that Soundcard with another program to record with? It might Give you an idea as to whether the problem is purely Hardware or Software ...

Obviously I don't know much about Traktor stuffs ... but getting clipping sounds without clipping seems to be a very strange dilemma o_O

Reminds me: I had a long dream once, I was playing in some giant absurd venue, and they kept on changing where the DJ set-up was in the place, and I couldn't find my music .. Kind of dream that has you wake up fucking frustrated. Oddly, I have bizarre party/Dj dreams when I don't get booked for a while xD

Sometimes I'm happy that I toke to sleep, so I don't dream much, but the dreams come in the morning just before I wake, so it's pretty bad when they're shit 'terror' type dreams, 'cause I start my bay feeling either pissed and/or weird ...

*jazz hands*

:p

haha xD And those are things people say when they don't realize that we talking about tits 'cause they have too much cock on their mind! :P

Yup! I don't fuck around, there's just 1 low price! Plus it saves room on the flyer :P

Space/tickets will be limited, so get your tix in advance!

H A R D C O R E !

Ok ok, so as you told me earlier, apparently he did a short surprise impromptu set at New Breed a long time ago, but that was as Jappo! :P In fact, I played that party and don't remember that at all! (sucks to be me xD )

That must've been 'round the time he was in the States, solidifying himself as a turntablist ...

As Unexist, first time ever! ;)

Thnx for noticing ;)

Okay okay, so you're all funny, and you're all right - from Cutter to Kishmay, to Moloch, to V2-1, to Masa, DynV, etc.
Isn't that weird, how so many of us can have different opinions, and still all be right and get the lolz?
Damn, we live in a fucked up world ...

not if you're into auto-erotic asphyxiation! :P

Hmm.. Agreed. But, if good people are reacting harshly and posting shit in response to him, aren't they then also altering their behavior for that one person? It would probably be easier if the people who find him nonsensical or offensive just ignored him ...

I dunno. I guess I'll just go back to not interfering in this clusterfuck of user interaction ;)

Excellent! Some massive speedcore - great lyrics ;)

Settle down people .. he's not inherently evil, and neither are any of you. But, the more you crank him up, the worse this gets.

I've spent a decade watching my friends bitch my other friends, and I'd love to see it end. (no hope in that, but fuck, I wish it anyway)

I don't want to be patronizing, but some things are better dropped -- like phat kick drums! ;)

Isn't that kinda how the dude from the Grateful Dead died -- years of drugs, then dies in rehab. (no connection intended with subject's hit song)



noted - sorry for misinterpreting! :)

Her death is just as tragic as her recent stage performances. Just like the deaths of starving third-world peoples are just as tragic as their lives. Death is always tragic. As life can often be.

Humanity has developed a sense of respect for the recently deceased, for good reason. After the dust has settled, jokes can be made. In fact, most of the time the dead would probably appreciate the humor, rather than expect people to mourn eternally.

Even though I agree that it's irritating and nearly disrespectful the deaths of others when some super-star's (or any famous person) death is treated with much more importance than a 'regular' human, it is simply a symptom of our modern society - on top of which rests the fact that those famous people touched the lives of many more other humans, and therefore automatically illicit a bigger response.

There is no right and wrong here, there is only a large difference in points of view, and how people view death. I wouldn't always call someone who dismisses death as a sociopath, though it could be, but I'd say they were desensitized. I am too, but I still feel emotion in the face of tragedy. Unfortunately, everyday is tragic, every death intolerable.

I guess that if you're neutral towards her death, stfu. If you were a big fan, express your anguish (hell, I was really upset when Cobain died). If you're just looking to get attention by talking about a popular death on your FB status, then you're an assshole.

My half-a-cent. Keep the change.

size has nothing to do with beauty :)
