I would encourage you to develop those FX during your set to keep that vibe going.

yeah I've been working on this actually, I'm totally down with the concept.

I'm building a little midi controller right now with arcade video game buttons, something I can use live that will be visual and what not. tapping out beats or triggering loops with it.

like when The Secret Life (my old band) would "run out of beats" we'd get an unsuspecting audience member to come up and give us beats via beatboxing and we'd sample it into live then run it thru beatrepeats and subatriggas.... lots and lots of fun!

word to live idm regardless

Hey MAAN!
What is subatriggas ? ; some kind of wild triggersystem or just you beeing big?

So what?

call me when he teams up with a couple other guys and makes some music.

Really? I think it's a great step FORWARD, I'm getting tired of watching guys launch loops, even the slightest real time effect tweak turns the crowd on, let alone a f-ing CHIN tweak.

I hope this shit becomes the new standard, ja know mang? It's enough for me to rip the wireless card out of my laptop and get down to bizness. Very inspiring.

There's a COOL tip in there I learned long ago (but haven't applied). Assign drum notes across a RANGE of keys, not just one key, then you can beat the shit out of your keyboard and focus on rhythm and not hitting one key.

what i'm saying is that it would be great if he was with a few other people. Maybe someone playing a synth or two, or doing textural stuff, or something.

just a spare keyboard drum solo dosen't cut it for me.

frankly, i don't give a shit how somebody does what they're doing, i'm listening to it, not watching it. That said, this guy is obviously tight with the finger style drumming, but why not get someone to play some melodic shit over top of it?

He never seemed to get a cohesive thing going - some of the beats were cool, but he never built on any of them...and the effects stuff...it was kinda interesting for about a minute, but reminded me of the shit I used to do with a guitar & a digital delay...

yeah I agree

i would have been far more impressed if he could keep a good beat going you could groove to then used the shit he did as fills and incidentals

If I was in the crowd I probably would have left, it must have sounded horrible over the PA up loud

Gyu - does this dude have a myspace or something? Good points, it'd be cool to see him stretch out in a combo.

Great when electronic artists actually play live,
but apart from that.. boring

anything sensei can kick down to gasshopper is most appreciated.

putting together my own drum kit is on the list, I've been in a 'twidding about' stage for too long, time to get back to the roots. <guitar, scales, chops, more jamming, less internet, Live as a tool that fits 'somewhere', been too lost in the details>.

holy mother of god Anderson Valley Pinot is a great f-ing wine...
