Im part of a small comunity of electro freaks called: Dogma Noveau. As you might guess we use rules for music making.
About once a month we meet at someones home, eat dinner and present our music to each other. Every month there is a new rule, decided by the host of the last Dogma.
I joined DN after this summer. I have made music for many years. Mostly on my computer, but lately more hardware based. The last year or so I have felt a need to hok up with others to get inspired and playing live to some degree.
DN 9 was my first. The rule was to make a tune with, not too distorted vocals. Thats a challange for many of us instrumental electro nerds. It was very fun though and the results turned out surprisingly good.
DN X was a live based dogma. The rule was to perform in a studio in Linköping(Sweden) called Bassline. Backtracks were alowed, but something had to be performed pure live. link (all trax from DN X)
I decided to perform completely without computer. Others only on computer (Ableton Live) or a combo. I used my Elektron Machinedrum UW and Monomacine. I also threw in a few chords with my Alpha Juno-1.
My set was a structured but improvised tree part set called "Novemberdjur"
Part I: Giraff
Part II: Zerbra
Part III: Antilop

that sounds like a really cool way to inspire each other and work within creative boundaries
i really like the sounds in those videos, especially that tone you're working with 2 minutes into video one

Thanks! Yes, DN inspires me a lot. BTW the DN 11 rule is to make a tune out of 13 min sampling from a chocolate factory that one of the guys works at.
2 mins into the vid I turn up volume on a Monomachine track that contains a compressor effect. Two other pad tracks are routed into it. LFO s/h on filter cutoff. Trigs make it sing! Cool machine! Lots of live resampling into the MD UW. cool vids man. really fun concept!
