“Mass.Deconstruction - Evolved DJing with Live”
Part DJ set, part live performance, ” mass.dstrction” is Scientific American’s latest incarnation of how he presents music to an audience. For this edition of the Seattle Live user’s group, we’ll take a tour of how Live can be used to take the concepts behind traditional DJ’ing and combine them with Live’s unique sound manipulation capabilities to continue the evolution of what defines live laptop performance.
We’ll discuss
- Project organization
- Deconstructing tracks into constituent elements.
- Using dummy clips and automation curves for automation experimentation
- Hardware interface integration
from writer jonathan lethem, as published in harper’s in february of 2007. a lengthy essay on the abuse of copyright and its impact on artistic development. this strikes right to the heart of what mass.dstrction is all about.
click the flyer for more info on tel aviv’s soulico. something about mixing politics (even if only via locale of origin) with drunken party music makes me psyched. soulico brings it, so come and contemplate the palestinian vs. jewish isreali controversy while dancing and getting your drink on with a dj crew that has to live it every day. we’ll be proud to open this one.
