Neko Case is kind to animals!

My favourite alt. country chick Neko Case has a new album, a tour that also includes Europe (but sadly not Norway), and she’s kind to animals as well. What a woman!
I saw a film about the scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie called Touch The Sound. Since Evelyn is nearly deaf, she can’t hear sound the same way others can, instead she feels the frequencies through her body. Her favorite percussion instrument is the snare drum, but she plays lots of other instruments as well. In the [...]

Deres siste utgivelse heter Jewels og er satt sammen av sanger som de opprinnelig spilte inn og gav som gaver til fansen hver måned. Veldig bra plate! Filmen Crossing The Bridge [...]

Check out this cool video of Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones playing the Fairlight CMI. This beautiful synth / sampler / sequencer / music system was revolutionary in the late 70′s / early 80′s. Even now the Fairlight system looks and sounds very futuristic and cool. Now Fairlight makes an audio controller, the Xynergy. The [...]

Her sees Charles Cohen som spiller på en Buchla Music Easel modulær synth som det visstnok ble produsert bare 14 stykker av. Som det står i teksten til filmen er det mye bedre lyd med hodetelefoner! For HD-kvalitet: http://www.vimeo.com/902069
