Computer wizard and musician Tim Shaw, a.k.a. Exile made a mash-up instantly from the live coverage of Obama's inauguration speech. He used his live remix/mashup/improv machine which he made for Reaktor:
The NAMM Show is the largest music products trade show in the world. It is held every January in Anaheim, California, USA. Here all the new music products for 2009 are showed to the public. This year two interesting developments draw my attention. First, it's nice to see that AKAI's 20-year-old concept of the MPC rhythm machine is still inspiring today's developers. And second, the innovations in digital dj'ing now really take off.
Native Instruments Maschine: A hybrid harware/software groove machine
MOTU BPM, an MPC style virtual instrument
The Akai APC40 (Ableton Performance Controller), a dedicated controller for Ableton Live
The new digital DJ SC System from Stanton
The NS7 Controller - Numark's dedicated controller for Serato ITCH
Let's do some trendwatching for 2009. What kind of electronic music will rock the dance floors in Amsterdam? It could be chipmusic. For now it's still a little subgenre in electronic music but it's popularity is growing, especially in New York.
Chip musicians use exclusively their archaic game and computer hardware to produce their songs. Popular devices are the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Commodore 64, Atari ST and the Nintendo Game Boy. The old computer technique (8 bit) gives the music it's characteristic lo fi sound.
The annual Blip Festival in New York is the biggest gathering for the international chipmusic community. It took place last december and showed that chipmusic is at least a very funny gimmick. Watch how 8-bit hero Bubblyfish rocks the place. Don't miss the 8-bit version of Sweet Dreams at 05:15. Crowd surfing computer nerds all over the place:
Especially for his first album Music by Cavelight I am a great fan of the melancholic hip hop of Blockhead (Ninja Tune). Lately i was looking on YouTube for his song Insomniac Olympics, when this strange alternative video came by. The old black and white footage suits the song very well. Maybe it's even better than the original video. Did i already mention that this kind of alternative material is the reason i still love YouTube so much ;)
Very impressive live show of Etienne de Crecy from 'the top ten of best concert visuals of '08'. With his first solo album Super Discount from 1996, Crecy is often considered as the founder of the french house sound.
