This June 5th is Bandcamp waiver day.

Lisa and I will match our bandcamp  spend with a donaltion to the bailout funds.

The two purchases I'm most looking forward to are

Subscription to the Label: NonClassical

And

the Digital Discography to Russian Hip Hop Label : RMixed

• Stratetegic Tapoe Reserve
• Submarine Broadcasting Company
• Wormhole Record
• Ratskin Records


 

These are all amazing tape labels doing amazing things. And we at EMC23 want to be part of it

Bandcamp is great. It's a lot like the Archive.org but with commercial angles as well as community and underground music. As a fresh alternative to Spotify- I love it. It's a great way of getting material for #theConceptMixtape.

In a Live studio I'm not going to be jumping through plugins so generally the plugins I use will be pre loaded and serve a particular function.

Each instance of ableton (there are three) has 8 channels maximum to avoid horizontal scrolling with an apc or push. The main Ableton instance (HAL) has 5 Live templates, all of them are preloaded with reaktor  and a generative patch on channel 4.

I started off by using one of each of the following patches

A ten year old scene based aorund plunderphonics and 90s mall culture and it is punk as fuck. How did I not hear of this before. Well obviously I've been living under a rock past 10 years and that's ok.

Born of bandcamp (think Archive.org but cool and with payment systems) living on the fringes of legality it usually involves the slowing down of muzak, Jazz and 80s pop classics (often with no other treatment).

This is crazy! The genre is Vaporwave. A very punk anti capitaslist genre borne of the Internet- and I love it. Slushy Slowpaul fxs with referecnes to 80s Malls, Windows 96 OS, Greek and roman statues.
