The Acess Virus Vuvuzela Song Contest

·0 comments·

Your mission is to write a song featuring either the Virus Vuvuzela patch or alternatively the Virus Vuvuzela samples provided by us. There are no restriction to the style of the song, we would like to encourage you though to use the Vuvuzela in a creative way. You will recognize that both the Vuvuzela sample and patches provided are not necessarily in tune which keeps things more authentic. In case you would like to alter the patches or samples, feel free to do so. Use what you have – this is a sound design contest after all. It is not advisable though to alter the content beyond recognition since the contest is about the Vuvuzela’s sound.

Project OP-X – Hardware Controller part 2

·0 comments·

On this day (solstice) Mario Jurisch sends us a few pictures of his new project (in progress) the OP-X hardware controller. Just before the holidays begin the controller is ready for varnish. “Through the 4 octave keyboard, the controller looks more bigger then the impOSCar Controller. But I ´m happy with the finish look”, he says. Mario has still a lot of work ahead of him as you can see. Layout is all done but now “the details” have to be filled in so to speak.

Over the years, technology-assisted musical learning has become more and more accessible to an ever broader audience. This could not be more true in schools all around the world, where the integration of creative music technology is giving students even more ways to develop and express their ideas. The Ableton Summer Music Challenge is an attempt to support this cause by asking students to get creative with music over their summer vacations and perhaps help their school out in the process.

Nerd Revolt teaches electronic music to kids – Video

·0 comments·

Sometimes we come across a story that just is too cool not to mention here. This is one of those stories. Nerd Revolt is a band from San Francisco consisting of band members the iLL.F.O. and m.0. They went out to a school and teached the kids more about electronic music. An initiative we (as true gearjunkies) totally support as we (personally) all have our roots deeply founded in electronic music as well! It would be very cool if more of these initiatives would arise.
