Goran started knocking down walls in his house. We all rejoiced, yea, verily and merrily. And then, lo - magically - born of post-litigation, pre-barbecue madness - a jam happened.
If you’re a DJ, wannabe beat-making producer or other brand of untalented hipster not erudite enough to play a real instrument like banjo or spoons, the Kaossilator is for you. But what if you’re a snobby, woodshedding talent freak, learned musician or Worthless-Music-Degree-holding alumnus? Fear not, purveyor of the Phrygian scale! The Kaossilator is also for thee...
When I came for my pre-festival “week in the country” relaxation time, I developed a condition knowns as RITSS. It led to withdrawal symptoms such as lapsing into L33t speak and the urge to make LOLcat pictures. It also led to finding creative solutions to rural technological limitations.
What do football moms and live experimental electronic music have in common? They can both be hot and loud in a minivan. But don’t take our word for it - download this magical journey of jamtronic hotness and turn up the heat during halftime.
In my DJ-induced post-purchase euphoria, I started researching this little gem of a micro-synth. I stumbled across many interesting articles and content relating to the amazing Korg Kaossilator and thought I’d share with the class.
Watch and listen as Tim creates electronic music pieces live, on-the-spot, using various improvisational techniques on the Korg Kaossilator. This unique instrument is an iPod-sized synthesizer that fits in your back pocket, is played with one finger, has no standard keyboard and sounds un-freaking believable.
Rob, Goran and I have been jamming more often as of late, getting back into a regular routine, gaining momentum as we explore the possibilities of experimental, live electro-acoustic hybridized improvisations. As the rust comes off, there’s some pretty cool stuff underneath.
I loved it - I couldn’t stop listening to it!
