I'm somewhere between pitching a tent and putting my tail between my legs...

LOL - too much!

When is everyone getting in? I'll be driving out Fri, driving home Mon....

That is one scary piece of gear!

YES! I'll be bringing a MH2882 and an X-Sum mixer so we can sum all the parts and go 'straight to tape', or we could multi-track too for post production goodness later on.

I can't imagine what that guitar sounds like! I have a nice E-H 2ube pre with some vintage telefunken tubes in there that break apart really nice. If we threw your mono cello sig into that and put each tube in series we could get some nice over-driven cello saturation going, and plenty of gain along the way. Have you tried tube distortion on it yet? i can't say i've heard that yet! whatever you like to run, it will be good. I'll bring the 2ube for fun if you want...

I can't say I know who's throwing the skyboxen partees this year... but if we kixor ass when we get set up, perchance Ceazar would fancy an acid gig? :p
I'll hit him up for us...

If you haven't seen a Warr guitar, it's the 12-string beast in this promo pic: http://rustcycle.com/edificePromo4.jpg

Now that's hawt! Just the think we've been looking for for our acid live set...
...

How does playing the cello alongside 303 basslines sound to you, btw? I might bring my horn as well. We could run you through the SP-404, and let a minion twiddle your FX knobs while you play, etc...

Seriously though...what's up with calendar/PA-reservation?

ta!

Glad you're up for it! Cello + 303 would be great! I'll be doing all my processing in Logic through a MOTU Traveler, so we'll throw some reverb on there to fatten it up. When I play violin I use an Alesis AirFX so I can jack up the sound without needing a free hand for a knob / fader. If someone else wants to loop / modulate / filter the strings they're more than welcome too!

Not sure who is coming with me...potentially the Warr guitarist from Edifice - in that case I know he'll be up for a jam too :-D If you haven't seen a Warr guitar, it's the 12-string beast in this promo pic: http://rustcycle.com/edificePromo4.jpg

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

Ok, this allows me to ask my earlier question (again). What do skyboxen and other locations use for a PA? Are there going to be multiple PA's we can all share for these live sets and chill sets, etc.? How do we 'reserve' such units?

I would say its all bring your own...and get in touch with the people who are throwing the skyboxen parties to secure said gear. That's the part where you gotta be proactive.

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

If you're playing at the Balls, it should be provided.

However, if you are into renegade parties and skyboxen and stuff like that and are in a position where bringing gear isn't a big issue, i'd recommend it. Most everyone flys into Defcon, and bringing gear is a nightmare. TSA has all ready broken a part off of one of my 1200s, so i'm done flying with my 1200s.

Do we need to bring dj gear or is that provided?

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

Ok, well... all I know is that if i'm dragging my gear at 140mph and 120 deg.far., and along with my producer and acid cohort, well, I just hope there's a PA to jack into when i get there.

Yeah... I only know of two PAs. Bink's B/W Ball set up and the Green Sector PA belonging to Shadowvex. I don't know what the plans are with the PA.

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

I'm bringing my acid hardware with me... any other acid musicians/ technical operators in the house? E.g., any else know how to drive elektrons, jomox's, and Future Retro's??? I may or may not have fellow musicianhaxors coming with me this year, so I'm actively soliciting other artists who might want to jam with my gear or their own. In fact... a massive defcon acid party live would be...well, insane!

Re: Call For DJs bands and ideas

Sounds great....I'll be looking forward to hearing it, and if you want some live cello / violin with your ambient tracks let me know

Now that's hawt! Just the think we've been looking for for our acid live set...

I still don't understand how all this goest together, PA-wise. Will there be multiple PA's located around the campus? I'm wondering if we should set up an improvised 'calendar' to quasi-organize time? I'm bringing my beatmaster counterpart along with me, and we'll be able to do our own submixing with our gear...but we still need a stereo PA to jack into, and of course...time alotted.
We can acid jam live on our gear for hours on end...so as much time as is feasible, and whatever PA location is clever. I was kind of thinking of setting up in one of the sky lounges this year....if only to help with the security of our hardware... since we are BYOAM's (Bring yo' own acid machines).

Sure, you're welcome to play along, should be fun.

@Staff: so will there be music besides b&w ball?
