relatedly: south by still worth attending? I’ve never

madeofoak · 2017-02-22T23:19:56.463Z

absolutely not. that said, as an artist there are finally ways of making money there albeit thru corporate-sponsored shows, which is pretty much all of the shows these days. we’re announcing a record soon so we’re only going to get a bunch of press done in one place.

i would never consider subjecting myself to austin during that week just as a fan. it’s the deepest kind of clusterfuck. eaux claires is the only US festival worth attending, and that one i highly recommend.

The project is called Midcentury Modular.

Trying to do shows ~once a month. Waiting to hear back from a friend who’s trying to set up a show in April at the Carrack. I hope that works out because the vibe of their new space near Golden Belt is really great!

I help out with the Raund Haus series every month, there’s one on saturday at the shed if you want to come by. lots of beat/electronic people, both young and old.

Thanks for the tip! Funnily enough, I was at the record store this past Sunday when someone came in to grab their records for the bargain bin challenge. Haven’t decided if I’m going to Night 2 of KNC’s Double Barrel, but if I’m in Durham, I’ll swing by.

Just got an email from moogfest. Looks like some pretty cool instrument makers are gonna be speaking:

We are also excited to unveil additional Future Thought daytime programming…
Dave Smith: The iconic instrument innovator will lead our Instruments Innovators program and host a headlining conversation with a leading artist revealed in next week’s release. He will also host a masterclass.
EM-u Systems Founder Dave Rossum, Ableton CEO Gerhard Behles, and LZX Founder Lars Larsen will also take part in conversations as part of the Instruments Innovators program.

Here’s a really cool tutorial video explaining the functions of the LZX Visual Cortex module by mangling a Buffy DVD.

The fact that they have killer line ups every year is a blessing and a curse… I want to go so badly, but I know by the time I can afford/have time to get over to the US in a couple of years they’ll still be putting on amazing speakers/acts/workshops.

GoneCaving · 2017-03-08T21:19:16.260Z

I went to this the year it was in Asheville, and it was lots of fun (Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, and so nice to meet the Make Noise folk). But this year if I was that side of the pond I would have gone to Sync02, or to DonFest (how cool is that going to be!!!)

bradfromraleigh · 2017-04-06T04:55:57.040Z

Schedule is announced! Any thoughts on what the hot workshops will be?

jlmitch5 · 2017-04-06T20:20:03.344Z

Nice! I looked through quickly and the things immediately stuck out to me are Elysia Crampton’s & Marisa Anderson’s workshops. The CSound/Nebulae workshop. Some of the spatialization workshops.

I need to actually buy a ticket so that I can schedule attendance before these fill up…

dudadius · 2017-04-06T23:07:44.667Z

I’ll be there Friday am through Sunday afternoon! Love to have a Monome-oriented meet-up/geekathon.

bradfromraleigh · 2017-04-07T13:33:22.514Z

I’ll be there for the entirety of the event and would love to meet some of you folks. I’m terrible at coordinating people, though. As the event gets closer, we can take a head count and maybe designate a spot.

Evan · 2017-04-07T13:46:27.062Z

I’ll be there the entire time, as far as I know. Unfortunately I’ll likely be stuck at a booth for most of the time. But I’m definitely going to try my best to make it to some of the performances/talks.

bradfromraleigh · 2017-04-07T14:34:26.221Z

I wonder if it would be useful to compile a list of Lines members that are vendors/supporters this year so folks can stop by and say hello. I can add a list to the top post for easy reference.

Evan · 2017-04-07T16:39:18.364Z

Good idea! I’ll be with Keith Mcmillen Instruments.

jlmitch5 · 2017-04-07T18:31:14.576Z

If we need some space, I can see if we can host a meetup in the Red Hat (Ansible) office (in American Tobacco right next to registration/modular marketplace/all that).

Also down for something less formal.

glia · 2017-04-07T18:43:40.958Z

I wont be there but suggest you check these workshops on my behalf

bradfromraleigh · 2017-04-07T19:29:32.883Z

Is anyone doing the Engineering workshop?

jlmitch5 · 2017-04-07T19:45:33.992Z

I ended up deciding against it.

Instead I’ve built up a set of nicer soldering tools than what I had and have done a few kits (L2A reamp box & god’s box humpack filter)…working on the Befaco Rampage right now.
