Starting Hudson Valley Users Group

[Nailosity]

Yo Peeps
I'm starting the Hudson Valley User's Group - anyone from the Hudson Valley are of NY State is welcome to join! Planning our first meeting for December of this year. Tweet me at @AbletonHV, or FB at https://www.facebook.com/groups/254315691271837/

My name's Neil Alexander. I'm a jazz synthesist and composer, using Ableton in a live playing environment. I also have a group with Drummer Ray Levier where we're both using LIVE and playing.

ALl the best -

Hey, there. I'm over in Poughkeepsie.

I finally got a MacBook with Ableton on it, so I'll be discovering what I sound like live. (I'm guessing I'll start by sounding like this track, which I did with Ableton Lite on a Mac Mini, and then progressing from there.)

But re the group, well, I don't do Facebook.

I'll keep an eye out for your live dates, 'cuz I want to see how people use this stuff on stage.

Hi John! Great to hear from you. I'll definitely keep you posted on shows/clinics etc. Right now I'm working on getting a date over at SUNY New Paltz to do a workshop. Next week I have a gig in Nyack nY (kinda far, I know) with Red Slider, an improvising acid jazz duo where myself and a drummer are both using Ableton clocked together.

I understand you're not using FB, so I will make sure to post things here as well.

Have a great day!

Since we've added each other on Tumblr, that's probably a more reliable way to get my attention.

Understood.

FYI, will definitely be setting up a meeting this summer. Trying a to find a space; a connection at SUNY New Paltz has not panned out yet so considering alternates. Will keep y'all posted.
