Very Short List. The Dummy Guide To Cold Wave | Dummy » Features. This March, Angular Recordings will release the cold-wave compilation COLD–WAVES AND MINIMAL ELECTRONICS VOL.1. The idea of Cold-Wave as a genre remains a difficult beast to try and capture, file or contain. The music often collected under that banner is strongly associated with the evolution of late 70’s French and Belgian punk bands, but it also grew to take in electronic experimenters from Canada to Austraila as well as UK Industrial acts and American minimalists.

As its primarily signifier is and was the use of newly affordable electronic instruments there’s an argument to be made that the ‘genre’ should embrace Eastern European bands cut off by Cold War politics from any pretence of a francophone ‘scene’. And so, from our lofty 21st Century perspective, Cold-Wave appears to mount repeated incursions into an almost unknowable number of previously well guarded genres: EBM, Synthpop, Techno, Italo, the brutally minimal punk of Joy Division, the electronic Futurism of Kraftwerk.

(Last updated 06/08/2007) Under Construction Introduction The latest models of handheld and portable two-channel audio recorders use removable solid state memory (e.g., Compact Flash, Secure Digital), hard disk cards (PCMCIA/PC Card, Microdrive) and internal hard drives for storage instead of tape (e.g., DAT) or rotating optical disks (e.g., MiniDisc, CD-R, DVD-R). They are: All of these recorders are starting to get popular for concert and general high-resolution audio field recording. One exception is the Apple iPod Video 5G. Even though it is not a high-resolution recorder, since there are so many of them out there and we are frequently asked about it, we chose to include it anyway. In addition, Sound Devices has released their 722 recorder. We've included notes about the low cost Zoom H4 recorder at the end of this comparison. We solicit and appreciate corrections to this document.

Opinion - Measure for Measure Blog. I recently played a show where I did something I hadn’t done in years: I performed songs by the band I founded, sang for and became quasi-famous in — Soul Coughing, I put together Soul Coughing in the older, dirtier East Village, in 1992. We eventually recorded three albums for Warner Bros., and a few of our songs made it onto MTV.

Behind that success, though, the band was a dark marriage that, among other things, solidified my enthusiasm for drugs. To multiply my unhappiness, I signed away — to my older bandmates — the rights to the music I’d written. When I finally left the band, I got clean and spent the next few years driving alone around the continent playing solo acoustic shows — 9,000 miles on my first tour, in 2000. I felt wildly liberated. Acting upon a suggestion from the legendary New York Dolls frontman David Johansen — “Have you ever written a song that’s like, ‘Oh, booze, how I loved you, booze?’” I’m going to try.

Modulate This! - A Blog for Electronic Music Artists: U-He Zebra 2.5. I’m just now getting around to experimenting with some of the new features in Zebra 2.5 which was released in December. A couple of big new features worth noting are: New effect plugin Zebrify that allows you to use Zebra 2.5 effects on any synth. In the picture above (click to enlarge) I’m using it to add effects to U-HE ACE but it would work with any device. I love the idea of mixing FX from one synth with sound sources from another. XMF Filter module with 15 filter types Improved preset management (Favorites, Junk, drag'n'drop organisation, collapsible folders) Unlimited undo/redo for parameter New "SR Decimate" filter mode 100+ new presets by Howard Scarr ModMatrix now supports up to 12 slots Glide2 parameter which offsets Glide for modules with an even number (Osc2, Osc4, FMO2 etc.)

Bottom line, the new features take an already fantastic and classic synth and improve it allow for even more sonic possibilities. Watch embedded video. Links: Synth Britannia on You Tube. Ableton Live Home. Blip Drums Electronic Drum Samples.
