June Solstice 2017 live streaming event

Our electricity went out about 7 hours ago from a storm, just came back on. I should be able to make my performance, but just in case, I posted a copy of my "backing track" that runs for 30 minutes here:
http://acad.kutztown.edu/~parson/DBN_MULTI_Mixdown_1.mp3
It is about 5/6ths of the planned performance in terms of density, so it is more than a backing track. I plan to announce the piece and improvise over some of the quieter sections, but if the electricity goes back out and I don't reappear within 30 minutes of my performance time, please stream this. Thanks!
Dale

Event still not over, been brilliant so far and probably some more brilliance to come.

Here's my set. Main part is a set of four slightly randomized sequencers, each playing a unique note occasionally transposed an octave down or up. These sequencers were routed to four different synths, that responded in different ways to the notes.

On top of that were some traditionally sequenced synths, and live looped piano and guitar.

Thanks for organising and keeping this amazing tradition alive! xxsun

Great concert as always. Thank you to all.

Here is my performance of Family Reunions with Ben Fisher and Nate Fisher, May 29 & 30 and June 1 & 24, 2017, as described earlier in this thread. I improvised live on the Allen & Heath ZED 12fx mixer and Mod Core fx box more than I had planned, especially when the 30-minute recording ended at 20 minutes for some reason. Shocked

I am getting better at improvising over such surprises. In this case I restarted the composite track, and then time-stretched and pitch-shifted it, and continued playing over that for the final 10 minutes. The piece has somewhat of a flavor of feedback-free-jazz, which is just fine. Razz

Thanks to PHOBoS, Jan, and Stefan for managing the stream, and to everyone for performing and listening. I got to hear about half the performances in real time, and look forward to listening to the other half. Cool

I love these events!

I have a question: What was playing during Jack Tamul's time slot? I talked with Jack via FB after the event to tell him how well that performance went with some processed-nature-photograph visuals that I am preparing for an eventual ambient piece in the planetarium, and Jack told me that he didn't perform because of a technical problem. My wife Linda also noted how well that music paired with my visuals-in-progress, without any prompting from me. What was it?

Thanks.

kkissinger · Posted: Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:23 pm Post subject: The first work on my set

Here is a video taken while I improvised the first work on my set. It features the MPS (Mega Percussive Synthesizer) and the Klee Sequencer.

This work continues my approach to live-looping wherein I start out minimally and build the texture slowly over time.

I will post an MP3 of the entire set but thought you might enjoy a video version of this.

After doing this I decided that, as much effort as it takes to do video, I'm going to get a better camera. For now, all I have is my old Digital-8 camcorder video.

Thanks for posting it, Kevin! Can't wait to show my wife. She didn't believe it was all synth. Very Happy

Here is the serene section of my set that features my synth with some Native American Flutes.

Here are some technical notes:

1) I used the Aries AR-313 keyboard's two-note polyphony feature to vary the oscillators' tuning interval.

2) I used the Aries AR-329 Phase/Flange module to impart a stereophonic quality to the synthesizer's sound. The AR-329 has an Aux output that, when panned to the opposite channel of the Main output allows a mono input to become a correlated stereo output. The AR-329 (as are most 1970's phasers) are kind of noisy and can at times be a little tricky to use.

3) I used my trusty Lexicon MX400 for the reverb and my Looperlative LP1 to accomplish the live-looping.
