"Decibel and the soon to be launched Crazy Bird Record Label out of Seattle
are teaming up to bring you the NW Electronic Music Online Store (proper
name to follow). The initial concept will feature NW electronic music
artists (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, etc) with plans to expand out to
national and international acts in 2008. That being said, Decibel is seeking
MP3 submissions for this on-line music store.
REQUIREMENTS:
- NW artist only
- Must be some form of electronic music (Electro Pop, Dub,
Dance, Hip Hop, Ambient, Noise, etc)
- Exclusive content (negotiable depending on your label
arrangements)
- Up to 10 submissions per moniker
- 320k size MP3 files only (high quality MP3)
SUBMISSION PROCESS:
- Please send MP3 LINKS (NOT ACTUAL FILES) to sean@dbfestival.com
- Use the follow naming configuration for the files
(artist title_song title.mp3 )
- If you are selected, we'll be contacting you with further
information (PLEASE DON'T FOLLOW UP)
- If you don't have the means to upload / link MP3 files you can
also send a CD to:
Decibel
8816 10th Ave SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Contracts, fees and percentages are currently being negotiated. Rest
assured, the main focus of this on-line store will be exposure for the
artist, not profit margins.
The top artist submissions will be selected to perform at the VIP Lounge
(Neumos) as part of the 2007 Decibel Festival's "NW Showcase".
Let's hear what you've got Cascadia!!! :)
Cheers,

"perhaps the geekiest thing ever. a video of a song entirely made up of sounds from the Casio CZ101 synthesizer. i wrote and produce the song and put together this gem of a video. its very sexual. look at my stubby hands with fat fingers. you know what they say about stubby fingers. THICK"
Update: This was originally sent my way via Chris on 11/8/6. I accidentally double posted this. I removed the prior post as this one has comments.

Bob plays the HotHand
YouTube jkjelec. Via Kyle.
"Bob plays a modular synthesizer using two HotHand controllers from Source Audio. Sorry about the sideways part; it goes to a normal orientation about a third of the way through"
Update via Dave in the comments: "Bob Chidlaw is a legend and it was really cool hanging with him... a bit daunting maybe. It was like, 'Hi, I was the chief scientist at Kurzweil for 20 years." "Oh hi... I draw hamsters.'"
Some detail on the HotHand:
"The patent-pending Hot Hand™ family of products allows you to control audio effects through either hand or body motion. Consisting of a small feather-weight motion sensor and a floor-based control box, Hot Hand gives you a completely new means of expressive control without being limited by a pedal. Each unit groups a family of similar effects with enough selection and control to create hundreds of different sounds. Each product features a simple user interface, so there is never a difficult learning curve. These are our first 3 products, and there are many more to come."
Peace, Love, Bob
"Greetings Friends,It has been a very exciting month for the Bob Moog Foundation! As we continue build our organizational and financial base, we are gaining the support of many different and diverse groups.
Let me first thank Sound Tribe Sector Nine (STS9), a rockin' jam band, who donated a portion of their ticket sales from their April 27 show at Asheville’s Thomas Wolfe Auditorium to The Moog Foundation. Ever the socially-conscious group of guys, STS9's donation go to support the foundation’s outreach program which will bring
electronic music to disadvantaged kids. We are thrilled and grateful to have STS9’s support--thanks guys!On the other end of the musical spectrum, the Asheville Symphony Orchestra is dedicating their May 19 concert to Dad. Along with Haydn and Milhaud, the orchestra will be performing Gustav Holst’s “Planets”, using six Moog Little Phatty Synthesizers in the final movement. Innovation and creativity link these three composers, who were known for pushing the musical boundaries of their day. A fitting tribute to Dad, without a doubt.
In other news, we are excited to announce that Moog Foundation Gear is on our website! We are now offering Foundation T-shirts and bumper stickers as a free gift when you donate. Our classy t-shirts are very cool and have a lot of personal touches. The concept came from my sister Renee, the design was created by Jenny Greer of SoundMindMedia, who also designed our logo. The pocket on the t-shirt has a special meaning of its own. To find out what it is, check it out on our “Foundation Gear”! Please show your support by donating today and wearing this great shirt!!!
Get your Moog on.

243 Programmable Pulser
flickr by verbos2002."Finally finished and working. This is my custom designed and built Programmable Pulser. It's based on a 246 core, but with changes to make it easier to source the parts. The LEDs are real pretty. Like a Christmas tree. What's great about this is that there is a pulse out and pulse in on each step. So there is no need for a reset input. Any step can be the start and any one can be the end. A row can be fed into the stage 1 pulse input to make a reset row. The analog input sweeps between steps with a 0-15 volt CV."
Pacemaker Pocket DJ Mixer and Looper?
Almost didn't put this one up not seeing the synth connection. I then read the features include loop and sound effects. And get this... 120 GB. Yeah, I think I'll make an exception for this. Nice design as well. Title link takes you there. via /oscar.
Update: I could be reading into the looping aspect. Time will tell. Regardles 120 GB of recording space for your synth experimentations would be mighty nice. Simon says...
Waldorf MiniWorks EQ-27
Title link takes you to shots via this auction.Details:
"Extremely rare Waldorf EQ-27 programmable EQ. Has stereo in/out, MIDI in/thru, and comes with manual (german) and power supply. Has 14 bands that can be configured to boost or cut by 24db each. Save your presets and scroll thru them via CC if you want. Provides radical tone shaping with the sweet sound waldorf is famous for. Intuitive interface operates similarly to Pulse and Miniworks filter. Easy to use and sounds fantastic on the outputs of a synth or MPC."
BOSS PC-2 Percussion Synthesizer
via this auction.Details:
"This item is slightly larger that a standard Boss guitar pedal, and makes some very cool electro bloop and bleep type percussive sounds. There is an LFO with both depth and rate, a pitch control, sweep control, decay and sensitivity controls. Very versatile for its size. You can tap or hit the blue pad, or there is an input jack in the back that can be used to trigger the unit as well. I've used my guitar to trigger some pretty bizarre laser gun sounds. Very cool and unusual pedal."
