LISTEN HERE

Auditorium is a loft party for lovers of ambient, experimental, downtempo and slow electroacoustic sounds. Expect an inspired soundtrack, immersive eight-channel sound, enchanting lighting, mountains of rugs and seas of pillows. All music is performed live.

HALLOWED HALLS

Our venue is the Bobby Redd Project space, formerly St. Marks Lutheran Church. Built in 1892, this Victorian Gothic hall of worship comes complete with stained glass windows, murals of the rapture and a working pipe organ.

AUDIOLOGISTS

DOK GREGORY (DOKTOR 23)
Dok has been composing, performing and recording experimental/electronic music since 1983. His current projects include Zero Gravity Thinkers (NYC), Silence Corporation (NYC/SPb, Russia). He has been a member of seminal NYC based audio visual group Amoeba Technology since 1997, toured and performed in festivals throughout the United States, Europe, Russia and South America.  Dok’s audio-visual works have been featured in programs at the Forum Des Images in Paris, Basel Art Fair in Switzerland, The Kitchen and Lincoln Center in NYC, to name a few. In 2007 he began work on the ISRS system (a shortwave radio synthesizer) and continues to research, develop and deploy the technology. Dok has also toured and collaborated extensively as a member of Incidence Transmission Network, Psychic TV, Akashic Currency Bureau, Trance Pop Loops and the Ransom Corps. http://zgt.me/

At Auditorium he will perform with a VTOL (vtol.tk) modular synthesizer system, Theremin and analog synthesizer.

FUTURE DREAM TRANSMISSIONS - a collaboration of Masha Gitin  (text, voice) and Dok Gregory  (live electronics). An exploration/contemplation/communication of dreams from the future through present time exercises in text and sound.

MASHA GITIN is a painter, muralist, and works with mixed media . Recently she began working with found text and phrase samples that explore a visual wall of pattern and information connected together through an exercise of selective association. Excerpts of these collages when read aloud, take on new aspects of meaning and form. www.mashagitin.com

HURHUR
Hur Hur is a solo music project by Helsinki's Timo Viialainen, featuring instruments such as hurdy gurdy, acoustic/electric guitar, trombone and different percussions & bells. The compositions combine looping and processing the sound of these instruments to form a backing material for improvised live performance. The result could be described as cinematic/cathartic ritual with the aim to create a powerful and psychedelic outcome. The influences of the project lie in the field of apocalyptic folk, primitive shamanistic music, electroacoustic experiments, drone & punk.

MILLIONS performin on synths, guitar, mics, CDs and effects.
David Suss is the sole party behind Millions, and his monstrously dense and overpoweringly gorgeous take on the peaks and valleys of drone is remarkable for a solo project. He has tuned into a truly cosmic channel since 2006, sculpting a brilliant body of work across labels like Tape Drift, Blackest Rainbow, Peasant Magik, 2:00AM Tapes, Stunned Records, Install, and more.

JEREMY WINTERS
Jeremy Winters composes music with shifting layers of delicate, electronic sounds.  He will be performing using his homemade controllers, the "tabletar", a drawing tablet based guitar like instrument, as well as an array of infrared sensors.  Jeremy has been working on electronic music and art for 15 years, self releasing his own CDs, building electronic thingies, performing live shows, and collaborating with artists such as The Perpetual Madness Machine, Lullabelle, and Left Sensory Bypass. http://www.themoodchannel.com/projects.html

ZEMI17, or the person known as Aaron "Taylor" Kuffner is Auditorium's music curator, resident artist and creator of the 8.4 surround sound system.  He creates very visceral live compositions, weaving found sounds and homemade samples into syncopated tapestries, occasionally performing on midi breath controllers, saxophone, voice and robotic instruments. http://zemi17.net

COMPUTER MUSIC / DAW opinions with a slant toward midi editing on a mac
« on: January 29, 2012, 01:49:12 am »
I have been using DP for years (still on DP5)... and I am quite happy with it for audio editing... but I have never been a huge fan of the midi editor, as I find it to be far too detailed for what I want to do.

I love the simplicity of the midi editor in reason... but of course reason doesn't allow for plug-ins or other advanced stuff.

so I'm considering moving to another daw which will allow for me to do the advanced stuff when needed... but in general has a clean and simple interface for midi editing.

I downloaded reaper and it is part way to what I'm looking for... but I'm not happy with the way it opens up a separate window for each track (maybe I didn't dive deep enough?).

I'm also looking at logic pro (which is actually cheaper than reaper) but it doesn't seem to support vst.

opinions?  other options I should consider?

jeremy winters - tiny treasure boxes

my latest EP is a free, high-quality mp3 download.  I'm not really into using fancy college talk to describe my music... so I hope you'll just skip directly to downloading and listening.

all the tracks can be downloaded in one zip file...

http://www.themoodchannel.com/music/tinytreasureboxes/tiny_treasure_boxes.zip

...or you can download the individual tracks... as well as other music I have made... from...

please let me know what you think!

thanks!

COMPUTER MUSIC / Re: linux?
« on: August 03, 2010, 04:09:13 pm »
I suppose there is just something attractive to me about it being all open source and free from any corporate influence, and I am interested in seeing if switching to the alternative would be possible.

I hear you on that in principle... but my experience has taught me that commerce drives innovation... especially in software.

to billy's point you can get good performance with the lightweight OS.  plus the lack of license costs could be helpful in the world of art installations or if one is planning on building a product based on a miniITX or the like.

I would look into chuck (though it runs on mac as well)... and also check the electro-music forum as they have a linux sub-forum which may be a good place to get better answers.

personally... I've never seen anything on linux that I feel like I'm missing in my mac life. 

is there any software you're considering in particular that has something special?

ART / Re: 3D waveform speakers
« on: June 08, 2010, 02:00:58 pm »
if it were real it would have to be moving incredibly fast... plus the issue of phase... as it would essentially be an oscilloscope...  also... how does the third dimension come into it? 

but of course the idea of using it as a controller is excellent!  like the waveform design features in absynth.  if the waveform had a home position (sine wave, or example)... and you could temporarily distort the shape of the wave having it return to the original position.  of course it would be difficult to raise a pin to a higher position.

still... could be a lot of fun!

COMPUTER MUSIC / Re: homemade controllers
« on: June 03, 2010, 03:22:56 pm »
thanks, guy!

I do play the tabletar on my lap sometimes.  what I really need is a strap...  though I've had it for a while... I haven't played with the IR sensors as much... mostly because I like the subtlety of the joysticks on the tabletar.

COMPUTER MUSIC / homemade controllers
« on: June 02, 2010, 04:29:45 pm »
figured I would share a couple of controllers I recently built.

this one is a "tabletar"... a guitar form with a wacom tablet and other goodies...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_uxtndtLO0E

and here is a relatively simple one... an array of 5 IR "theremin" controllers...

both control max patches on my laptop.

wow... that's really affecting.  seeing this makes me feel as though it's easier to be numb to sensationalized imagery but something like this showing the calm aftermath and all the little things seems much more difficult to ignore.

I suggest sticking with "commercial" grade drives and focus on having a good backup system.

I have a mac pro and my drives are replicated nightly using a program called superduper.  no raid or anything like that... just two discs replicated to two backup discs on a nightly basis.  they can be triggered manually as well.

OTHER MUSIC / kyoto, tokyo, bangkok?
« on: April 04, 2010, 12:01:00 pm »
I just realized I'm a little late to the game since I'm leaving tomorrow... but I'm going to be in japan for a week and thailand the following week.

we'll be in kyoto from 6-10... tokyo from 10-13... and bangkok from 13-15.

I figure that many of you are either seasoned asia travelers or locals so please let me know anything that is unique and interesting with regards to music or anything else for that matter.

thanks in advance!

OTHER MUSIC / Re: Does (minimal) ambient music need a new impulse?
« on: March 31, 2010, 01:03:47 pm »
if everyone just drops one album that is "of the style" at the current moment, there will be no development in "the genre at large,"
That definitely would be a problem, but I'm not sure we've come to that point yet. I don't think one-off projects have become the norm.

I don't think newness is essential to music anyway. Forced novelty isn't going to be any good for any style, just look at what happened to electronic dance music in the past twenty years. The constant emphasis on newness for the better part of a decade has resulted in mostly lifeless crap more concerned with compressor tricks than making music.

I think that newness *is* essential... but forced novelty is not newness. 

you can't force this kind of progression... it has to flow from creativity.

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Re: FW audio interface
« on: March 11, 2010, 03:27:27 am »
I would like to assume that their higher end goods are better quality... but I have a saffire LE and I am quite disappointed with...

...instability (clicks, pops, requiring restart of the device to correct)
...monitor knob doesn't go to -inf
...when attenuating with the monitor knob... stereo field is noticeably lost! ... !!!

I know that focusrite is known for their preamp sound quality... but I would be wary of their digital goods... as they are likely to use similar firmware and software for their range of devices.
