…Es que aun no puedo corregirme la extrema verborrea en cosas como esta y la ausencia casi total de palabras en eventos sociales o en los que normalmente “debería” comunicarme. Y bueno, finalmente si llego a hacerlo pasa también otro fenómeno a corregir: el interminable preámbulo aclaratorio antes de ir al grano y mostrar la verdadera razón detrás de haber empezado con todo el show. (Situación en la que he caído nuevamente ahora mismo, pero no sin fundamento: la reacción en cadena de datos y las multiples conexiones son solo un desarrollo especular ante el modelo de chli y Weiss.)…  Profonte,All ways will always be old ways.

The Bravery - “Honest Mistake” from Vicki Hanson on Vimeo.

I took the wrong road, That led to the wrong tendencies.
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme.
On the wrong day of the wrong week, I used the wrong method with the wrong technique.

I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means.
It was the wrong plan, In the wrong hands. The wrong theory for the wrong man.
The wrong eyes on the wrong prize. The wrong questions with the wrong replies.

There’s something wrong with me chemically. The wrong mix in the wrong genes.
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book. With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook.

I was marching to the wrong drum, with the wrong scum.
Used the wrong sings, with the wrong intensity.
Made the wrong move, every wrong night.

With the wrong tune played till it sounded right!!!TTT

The reacTable —developed within the Music Technology Group at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain by Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso, 2006— can be understood as the easiest way of making electronic music, also as the DIGITAL Instrument par excellence, left behind are the turn-tables and the synthesizers because this instrument is in fact a mix of its predecessors that goes forward-beyond them. Using only the hearing-sense is possible to make wonderful things but to involve the other senses in the actual performance of music with the freedom of the digital copy/paste faculty develops an age-coherent way of playing music. From now on, playing music will not only be about the dexterity on playing the instrument, neither the knowledge about musical composition-matters, with the reacTable the doors for a new way of sound-experience are open, furthermore the relation with the instrument is not only on how it sounds, but how this sounds look like while being produced; interchanging built-up music-pieces with the use of the tangibles —little boxes, freely placed over the reacTable, which let the user work with sequences, modulate Audio frequency VCOs, LFOs, VCFs.— Music can be played as always, but with the appropriate aid that technology can bring this days. 

The design of the instrument is so open that is possible to ad-new tangibles on need. Björk used the reacTable on her world tour VOLTA, and for sure there were sampler  tangibles added. The richness of the work of such an oudio-designer brings-up wide lights of the limitless possibilities of this digital-instrument.

As I was sitting there Singing a song they had never heard before Suddenly, a voice told me

“…Keep on singing, little boy And raise your arms in the big black sky… Raise your arms the highest you can So the whole universe will glow”

My first vision was a bush growing down the river
And I couldn’t stop crying
Something was missing
I realized I was in love with a voice
I called it, again, and again
But all I heard was the echo in the light

We’re damaged people Drawn together By subtleties that we are not aware of. Disturbed souls Playing out forever These games that we once thought we would be scared of.  There is no defence I forget to sense I’m dying. We’re damaged people Praying for something That doesn’t come from somewhere deep inside us. Depraved souls Trusting in the one thing The one thing that this life has not denied us. When I feel the warmth of your very soul I forget I’m cold And crying When your lips touch mine And I lose control I forget I’m old And dying.

“Aimer, ce n’est pas se regarder l’un l’autre, c’est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

…

So move with me
With me removed

You and us together
Together in this room
You will not remember
This passing moment soon

I am nervous you are calm
I see lines upom your palm
I am close we are near
Though the ending is not here
We are seperate we are one
The division has begun
You are my future i am your past
Even music will not last

So move with me
With me removed

You and us together
Together in this room
You will not remember
This passing moment soon

The indefinable condition of the things that are happening now and the implacable need of the mass for the NEW may sometimes be defined as emergent-culture, but it is also simply the same phenomena which always companied the human existence: the change, change is not new. But, There is something peculiar and unique about these days, and it’s not about how wonderful things technology is developing —in all, and each epoch the newest technology developments were always astonishing— but about the speed this change is happening. Digital media has developed a speed that have already modified the behavior of human beings reaching a new level of understanding the reality in terms of information/communication and the implications of this easy-reachable knowledge.

The copy-paste culture can be understood in terms of interchange. The possibility of interchange the order and mixing-up all the pieces of almost every intent of communication in a never-ending process. Furthermore, as a process it is never concluded or even started—in some ways—. For ex. In electronic music, the tracks that producers develop are supposed to be used in new compositions and also these newer tracks are expected to be used in future mixes. Going further, some Pro-Djs like Miss Kittin, use re-mixed versions, —mixed by other djs using her original tracks— on her presentations, letting fed and feeding back some kind of communication-experience that no longer belongs to one person, but to the global-community. Also this is the way the WEB2.0 works, a network that encourages collaboration and share of information/communication. So this culture of the copy/paste is working not on the basis of discovering the gunpowder every day, but in the constant effort of cutting pieces and then pasting-them-together in the most newer and familiar way as possible, because if there is not a recall over the memory then all the mix-up [pasting-phase] loses all sense. kk.org and SIMPLICITY are two blogs which embraces this kind of copy/pasting culture, looking forward to be as newer as possible—in the posts— but using the same codes and signs to be as simple and close—to readers— as possible…
