Korg Monotron, Kaossilator, and iMS20 app for iPad

This is a bit from a day long jam session when Kevin and Mary. Kevin brought over a fretless bass and iPad with the Korg iMS20 application on it. We plugged in the iPad, my Kaossilator, and the (squeaky always out of tune) Monotron and jammed for the afternoon/evening.

I came away with 3, 25-30 minute long jam recordings. I spent time last night breaking them into 4 separate tracks.

1 is 3:29
2 is 1:22
3 is 9:39
and 4 is 25:18 (nice and long).

I’m putting up track 1 here. Tell me what you think! I think we’re getting better at this stuff. I particularly find myself listening to a lot of this stuff ON PURPOSE!!! (Imagine that shit!) It’s actually enjoyable.

Check it out. Track 1 from the Kevin/Mary/Cemego day!

It is NOT ALL THE INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE (for instance, the monotron didn’t make it into this one) but the other 3 tracks are definitely worthwhile. I’ll put them in the mp3volumes as soon as I’m settled with them. If you cant wait to hear them, either visit me or make a special request and you can get them off the FTP.

For some stupid reason I’m really proud of the noises that have been coming out of my house.

Here’s images and links to the stuff we used to make this noise. Click the image for a link to the site for each “toy”.

RUN AWAY BARACK! RUN! HE’S HUNGRY!!!

OH MY GOD! I CANT WATCH!

Are there a lot of Mormons in New Jersey?

So, the news is a buzz this morning about how NJ Governor Christie came to the defense of Mitt Romney during a campaign rally at a high school.

When reading the article, you can decide for yourself if Christie really put his best Tony Soprano on it. However, to me, when reading the article, all that came into mind was this song:

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

I am so sick and tired of the media rhetoric trying to ratchet up the fact that a bunch of catholic schools in philadelphia are closing…

WHO CARES!

Hell, they’d close my school, I’d jump for joy!

Let’s make it easier on the public. Let’s show a bunch of crying school girls! That makes it so much easier!

DAMN THE MEDIA!

MY GOD! GET OVER IT!

STUPID LEMMING FOOLS!
