An Experimental Groove Box: Herbs And Stones Mousse

video upload by HAINBACH

"Herbs And Stones Mousse is a cool oddball groove box: it looks stylish, sounds rich and is fun to play. Mousse and me had quiet the journey together though, as I became an unintentional beta tester. I put various pre-production units through their paces until Herbs and Stones arrived at a solid production unit. In this video I show the process that started in November and ended just now at the end of March. Use the chapters to jump to sound demos, patching tips, and my final thoughts."

– When the Veil Lifts…

On this night between the worlds,
the Earth calls us together.

Fire, wind, water, and heart
beat in the same rhythm —
a circle of sound, transformation, and connection.

Let us remember
that compassion is stronger than fear,
and every light we share
brightens the darkness.

My new jam for Samhain
A track for unity, change,
and the magic of togetherness.

Claudia Triozzi - Ni vu ni connu

Video Excerpt - Live @F.I.S.Co. 11 - 12/4/2011

With the new caleidoscopic project, "Ni vu ni connu", Claudia Triozzi continues her research on the voice, that she considers in its physical and choreographic dimension. In this solo she's never alone on stage, as well in her internal world. An acoustic sculpture by the Baschet brothers conceived in the 60’s, a glass harp, an organ, a computer give the music a performative a vision. The voice declines in a succession of unwise monologues, of incomprehensible psalmodies, pretext for a labial choreography.

Claudia Triozzi dancer choreographer, performer, visual artist. She creates iconoclastic pieces from which dance never comes out unscathed. Claudia Triozzi always sets herself the task of putting preconceived ideas one might have regarding choreographic pieces into question."

"From the 8th to the 15th of april, Xing presents in Bologna the 11th edition of F.I.S.Co. Festival Internazionale sullo Spettacolo Contemporaneo, entitled "Segue" (Follow).

Held in various locations, F.I.S.Co.11 hosts spectacles as well as polymorphic experiences of transdisciplinary nature: not stabilized spaces where dance, performance, vision and critical observation flow together.

'I follow, I follow me'

Follow: accounts for the first time a system of returns to Bologna of some of the artists we most admire, offering in-depths to their works that also disclose personal aspects. There isn’t a particular interest in autobiography but in the weaving between individual, professional and human choices; between creations and circumstances; roles and functions; between the grounded knowledge and its reformulations.
The frame of the festival shifts the expectations of the encounter with the artists. One day on stage; another day driving a passenger vehicle; and yet another among the running crew, assuring a redistribution of the roles and degrees of relation between spectator and performer.
As Bruno Latour suggests, an actor is no more than ‘what it transforms, modifies, perturbs and creates’. An actor is what an actor does.
The explorations and personal solutions of these artists are showed in their development (together they constitute the transformation, testimony, and object of a narrated spectacle): from the performance that questions the architecture of the book; to a micro-facial choreography; to the domestic filmic remake; to the re-Butoh working session with Google to incorporate a foreign tradition; to the work about summoning the invisible; to the performance of embodied music, up to an unclassifiable psalming cabaret.
No aesthetic thread. Pluriverse.

F.I.S.Co. will take place in an elegant and dated theatre all’Italiana, the Theatre Duse, overturning it once, to return to its classical axis on a second moment; in two laboratory spaces of the city, Sì and DOM, managed by close independent companies; and in the compartment of the private taxis of Critical Cab: place/time of a critical reflection on the route that could lead to the places of the spectacle. Brainstorming Camera di Decompressione per gli Spettatori will accompany the festival on line in a space suspended between creation and fruition, strongly dependent on public participation.

F.I.S.Co.11: Zachary Oberzan (USA), Antonia Baehr (D), Xavier Le Roy (F/D), Mette Edvardsen (N/B), Claudia Triozzi (F/I), Jonathan Burrows/Matteo Fargion (UK), Cristina Rizzo (I), Michele Di Stefano (I), Massimo Conti (I), Mårten Spångberg (Sw), Luca Trevisani (I), Lucio Apolito (I), Riccardo Benassi (I)/D.

F.I.S.Co. is conceived and created by Xing, a cultural network based in Bologna with the purpose of planning, supporting and promoting products and events characterized by an interdisciplinary approach toward the issues of contemporary culture.

Partners: Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, Regione Emilia Romagna, Comune di Bologna, Reale Ambasciata di Norvegia, Fondazione del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna. Media partners: Alias, Il Manifesto, Edizioni Zero, Mousse, Kaleidoscope, Nero, Art'o, UnDo.Net, Città del Capo - radio metropolitana, Radio Città Fujiko.

The Rhizome Now Available

YouTube via Feeltune


"The Rhizome: the groove machine with and for VST has just been released.

The dream to combine the power of a PC and the ergonomic of a real musical instrument is becoming reality.

Feeltune announces the release of the Rhizome; one of the highlights of the MusikMesse when it was first presented last March. Many sites and magazines rated it best of the 2010 trade show! The Rhizome is the future of groove machines.

What are the differences with the competition? The Rhizome is a hybrid in which you install virtual instruments and effects in a VST/VSTi format (For Pc). No more limitations in terms of sounds and effects; with the Rhizome you choose the style of sound and instruments you want to play. Once downloaded you can mix your plug-in with the mixing desk; create your sequences, patterns and tracks with the multi modes and multi tracks sequencer which is the brain working behind the scene.

What are the differences with the other hybrids already on the market? The Rhizome is not just a keyboard with a Pc or a Pc Rack; it is a real musical instrument which has been designed for the pleasure to play and compose music and is equipped with software running an innovative interface with numerous displays and controllers.

The Rhizome is a real-time instrument: programming, recording, sampling, adding instruments and effects, tuning; all you do is live! There is no interruption when you play on stage or record in a studio. The objective: to free up your inspiration and creativity.

The development of the Rhizome took several years of R&D; 50 engineers and the validation of around 10 user groups. Today the Rhizome is an aggregate of the best technology and know-how.

For the Audio it is RME that does the job; it has been chosen because of its stability and sound quality which is recognized by everybody.

For the display; forget the small monochrome displays; the Rhizome offers 4 large displays (24 bit colors)

For the controllers; the Rhizome has 102 controllers in which you find 16 dynamic pads and 32 endless knobs

You get the Windows XPE which is a version of Windows XP Pro that has been redesigned and compiled especially for Feeltune. It offers a better stability and a total compatibility with VSTs.

For the effects and instruments; some of them have been developed by Ohm Force, well know key player of the market.

A Design and solid ergonomic; a size and weight that allows bringing the Rhizome with you as hand luggage when you travel by plane.

For its embedded system; you get power and reliability: Intel processor and mother board, server AC, silent fans.

Software, proprietary electronic card and box: build, assemblage and control in France.

Connections: The several in/out allow you to connect and use screens, mousse, midi controllers; hard disk and/or additional audio card.

Communication: The Rhizome is the first instrument to totally implement CopperLan; a new protocol that above the Midi transcription really revolutionize the communication between audio-video machines.
