Hey,
Having recently passed thirty, it's time to acknowledge the fact that I no longer know whats happening on the internet just by automatic. I've been struggling to get to grips with this social networking, web2.0 revolution with varying degrees of success (and confusion).
I know what the blogs and podcasts are, alright, but something else seems missing. It still feels like strangers writing journals that I am reading, and not a network of people I know and share parts of my life and music with. em411 comes close to that, and facebook keeps me in contact with a few people I know 'for real'. But what else is out there? Is this the extent of the communications revolution?
What have I missed? How can we, as musicans (and 30 somethingers for the most part) deal with this new stuff? With Miro I can subscribe to video podcasts that automagically download and present me with the latest cool TV stuff. My iTunes sells me music direct through my mp3 player, and even downloads some podcasts.
But.
Where the hell IS everyone? Is it just me not making any friends, or not surfing the right areas? This technology is Bloody Wonderful, and I love my daily dose of downloaded videos and mp3s keeping things fresh, but I'm not particularly finding people out there to talk to!!!
We _have_ the technology to hook all our studios together live. We could be automatically sharing all our loops in automated, rss'd downloads to each other. Why are we distributing our releases as mp3s when we could share multitracked formats with warp markers, ready for remixing?? Where where is the LIVE FUN?! What is wrong with this current picture!!!
I want to watch you, yes you, live on webcam just messing about with your synth. If anyone wants a tour of my studio, watch me test out a machinedrum or do a spontaneous noise show with a bunch of circuit bent instruments live then I'm happy to switch the cameras on. Do you DJ? Can I watch you practicing a set at home? I would LOVE it
None of these things need to be of technical brilliance, high quality audio/video or rehearsed perfect performances to be FUN!
Many of us noodle and never finish things, and so never release this work. I'm giving up the idea of finishing shit, and wanna aim for live jams instead!! Plug stuff in, make noise, hang out and socialise using this technological stuff instead of a keyboard and the same old forum and same old irc channel method that I started with about some 14 years ago. JAM SESSIONS!
So, please, someone join me in exploration of new tools and ideas? RSSing the studio, online realtime work, live events and so on..?
by the way, you should have rss for the mixits and quixits.

I've had a padkontrol for a while (more of a finger tapper than a keyboard player anyway)... also it's a lot easier playing something straight chopped as opposed to laying down multiple drum elements where you've got fingers on multiple pads simultaneously (e.g., Jel). Definitely fun tho, glad you enjoyed it. hah

it would be nice t have a network shared HD for this stuff. This would mean you acces any loops or audio saved on the HD would be open to any one in the network. Its something i've done with friends using a local network.
