Sendai - Improvisation for the japanese people

YouTube Uploaded by TouchedByInspiration on Mar 14, 2011

"I have no words for what happened by the disaster in Japan. Still there are things that even an earthquake or tsunami cannot destroy. My improvisation tells about these things that one can rediscover in all the destruction: hope, confidence, faith, courage, compassion and friendship. My wish to the japanese people is to find what cannot be destroyed...
(The recording is played live and spontanously on march 13nd 2011 by Christiane Dehmer, piano and synthesizer.)

Mir fehlen die Worte für das, was durch die Naturkatastrophe in Japan geschehen ist. Aber es gibt Dinge, die kann kein Tsunami verschlingen und kein Erdbeben zerstören. Diese Improvisation erzählt von diesen Dingen, die man in aller Verwüstung neu entdecken kann: Hoffnung, Vertrauen, Glaube, Mut, Barmherzigkeit und seinen Nächsten ... Mein Wunsch für das japanische Volk ist zu finden, was nicht zerstört werden kann...
(Die Aufnahme ist spontan und live gespielt am 13. März 2011 von Christiane Dehmer, Klavier und Synthesizer.)"

#3: The bluebox synthesizer. Interconnection with a MIDI controller

YouTube Uploaded by dd49ll on Mar 15, 2011

"The bluebox is a stand alone instrument by it's own. But the possibilities with the bluebox comes in many flavors, as it has MIDI-in and MIDI-out capabilities. Play on it with your master keyboard. Let it control your favorite synthesizer. Connect your bluebox to a MIDI-controller and get as many knobs as you want. Record you sounds and notes in your sequencer. And let your sequencer play your favorite basslines with glide and accent on the bluebox. Only your imagination will expand it's possibilities to the fullest.

The breakout cable is a accessory to also get a MIDI-out port on your bluebox synthesizer. With this the bluebox can send program change, notes, modulation wheel, CC messages, dump sound patches to save in your MIDI files, and much more.
