An octet of music related links for your cogitation:
- “I’m like the guy, the old white man that comes out with a cane who’s all dressed in white with a white beard”. Robotperson hero, Timbaland compares his very bad self to Gandalf on musicthing. Some good info in the comments.
- Vestax Groovecaster. Prototype, but for real. For DJ’s who want to grab some of that axe action.
- The death of dynamic range. Detailed article on how overly loud mastering is rendering original cd’s lossy from the outset.
- Overkill. Alt / bleep style music fest coming soon to Brighton fringe.
- Slightly off topic: why the iPod is like a bath. Link thanks to Simon.
- Hip-hop karaoke London. Reee-spec to sometime robotperson social interface unit, Craig Biggest Irish (a.k.a. Dominic Diamond), at the helm of the dopest (ahem) night East of Noo Yoik. At robotperson we be on for some Big Pimpin’
- David ‘Elsewhere’ Bernal is one of the dudes behind the dancing in the recent, highly memorable Volkswagon / Singing in the rain ad (.mov file, 5.8Mb). The guy is an incredible mover; good popping is amazing. Some Googling turns up more Elsewhere at oyemag, and links to clips of Elsewhere at detoursvideos. Like robotperson, he’s into IDM (hate that label, though)
- Which links nicely into this excellent article on the history of Techno at Wikipedia.
