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.

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

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.

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.

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!
Shagghie/Scott

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

That is one scary piece of gear!

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

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...

Hey Shagghie et al

I'll be bringing my laptop and yamaha ux-256. And possibly an electribe A mk ii and an MPC 2000. I'll get some nice samples ready ahead of time.

I'll be getting in to town early on Thursday morning.

Jackalope, Rust, Bloo... I'm driving out with VJ (producer and acid house cohort) sometime on Weds, and leaving Monday afternoon after Skippy's post haxoronnaplane return bonvoyage sixsigma partee UFO.

You guys all at the Riv? (we are)

Ok, last but not least.... does anyone know any scoop on a PA system for us 'live jammers'? I don't know who or what's up in the skyboxen.... I was kind of hoping poolside like AP-style...but can you do that at the Riv without being arrested or homeless?

Very cool!

I'll be at the Hilton Fri, Riv on Sat / Sun....

If people want to throw in a few bucks for a gallon of fog juice I can bring a hazer and two moving heads - they're just little guys - http://youtube.com/watch?v=37GmbMEXTi8

As far as I know, pool parties Defcon style are 100% out at the Riv.

I'm staying at the Riv, showing up on Tuesday.
