Satellite Of Love
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.

The Music[edit]
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.
