Info[edit]

The Satellite Of Love is a livestream performance of one or two hours of continuous music and soundscape synchronized by Ableton Link, Midi and Din Clock. Each section should blend from the preceding section.

The Livestream is divided into sections of 10 minutes. A participant may have one of more slots allotted either as a solo or a jam project.

A participant will probably want to provide 20% to 50% new material for their slot if regular. This could be as little as 5 minutes of material each month.

A participant that does not compose or produce may wish to rehearse and partake in the jamming sections.

This is an electronic event. There is a 24 channel digital mixer.

Before hand, we'll chat with the participant about what they might bring and how they will set up.

Setup[edit]

Ableton Link[edit]

Ableton Link is either solid as a rock or not usuable. At present it is unusuable but in the previous studio is was perfect. Reasons unknown.

Mio Midi Center[edit]

This box allowed the studio grow exponentially overnight. In conjuction with RTPmidi any program that accepts midi input can be accessed from any other daw via ethernet/wifi.

Eurorack Clock[edit]

The Mother32 has a midi in permanently connected to the MIO (see above) . So it can be used to convert midi to the WaveyLines Eurorack and/or guests.

The Music[edit]

Concept[edit]

"The Satellite Of Love orbits the planet on the edges of the stratosphere. It picks up and bounces back the signals it picks up from earth edited, remixed and recontextulised by the group of Space Composers who stole the Satellite from the Evil Bond Villian Elon Musk. The music is continous, weaving in an out of melodies, snippets, songs, operas, adverts, and TV show. the hum of the planet, the hum of the big bang. Sounds from yesteryear. We might hear a melody - just once or a groove that goes on for days.  We boldy go where no one has gone before . On a journey through Space , Time and Sound"

Genres[edit]

We go for a post modern take on genres since this is not a club, club music has a limited place tho' not inconsequential by any means. We are not averse to house and techno but without the biofeedback from an audience the overall vibe is identical to any other genre. So instead we divide music along tempi. So one stream we might start with a reggae beat at 100 bpm and move towards a Rock N Roll groove at 80 bpm, followed by a non tempoed ambient soundscape before finishing with some house goodness at 120bpm.

Scores[edit]

The scores help move things along ensuring one doesn't get stuck in a groove. The genres are not meant to be accurately mimic'd but used as reference points. They are iterively created using google docs. Unless maybe when going for a funky vibe. We sticked to CAGED scales which benefits guitarist participants.
