North: "You Better Stop"

"Another of my instrumentals, played by our band "North". These are the same three players as on the M-33 track, but by now we'd also added a bass player! This one's in more of a rock/fusion style. The CS-80 plays the primary rhythmic riff (alternating bars of 4/4 and 15/16... over the drums which are actually playing two bars of 3/4 followed by a bar of 7/16... it all works out), and then lays down the harmonies behind the Fender Rhodes solo. This is literally a basement recording from the drummer's basement where we rehearsed."

Wii Loop Machine

"The Wii Loop Machine is a piece of software for making music with a Nintendo Wiimote controller. It is loop-based and performance-oriented, somewhat like a very simple version of Ableton Live. It has been featured in The Independent, MAKE Magazine and Blog, Engadget, and much more. Click the above links to read some of these, check the Facebook group for even more.

Version 2.0 is currently available for purchase for only $20. It requires Bluetooth and Mac OS X. A Windows version is planned for Summer 2008. In addition, version 1.1 is available for free download, as well as several free Wii musical software treats such as the Maniipulator and the Siimple Synth."
