I feel upper class

I got fed up recently of never having a way to pass on info regarding the whole ChineseSpiders 'thing' so I finally decided to get some business cards printed up.

Thats all I have to say for today.

Oh and I put a new banister up for my Gran.

MashTastic

Browsing through a few tweets today and stumbled upon this little gem of a VST!

The creators claim it is able to separate individual audio elements from a stereo field. 
The plug-in has been created by a company called QuikQuak, who, if i'm honest, i have never heard of.
I saw something similar to it a while ago and the possibilities with a tool such as this are limitless.

Cue the record companies complaining about copyright infringements.

Heres the blurb from the creators themselves:
MashTactic is a plug-in that can separate various parts of a full audio mix.
Many sounds, include vocals can be cut or isolated from a track.
* 8 stereo areas of sharp cut-off filtering.
* Adjust levels separately in all selected zones.
* A great tool for mashup music makers, as vocals and other sounds can be identified and manipulated within a full mix.
* Works on transients, allowing the user to emphasise or cut percussive sounds giving control over punch in drum tracks.* Great for analysing balance and frequency mix of a track you're composing.

Wiener Kernal

Drama, drama, drama.
This composition is my expression of drama.
A live electronics set using circuit bent toys and hardware samplers.
This piece explores drama as a musical concept.
There are 2 halves to this piece, the first is completely indeterminate with the second half using structure to bring the whole piece together.

David Kusek is the new Mystic Meg

I read this book a few years ago while writing a dissertation, but really wanted to give it a mention as I flicked through it recently. From publicist to consumer, this book looks at previous trends and makes well informed judgments to the way the music industry is headed.
They also have a website to accompany the book which is constantly updated.
Don't fear change, embrace it.
