SPRING BREAK! NO CLASS!
have a safe and enjoyable week off!
• I’d been meaning to post this video a few weeks back, since it covers quite a few things we’ve discussed in class over the last few weeks. It’s a rare but classic TV short from 1986 on Australian 80′s experimental electronic music pioneers Severed Heads [Tom Ellard & Stephen Jones]. In this short Tom demonstrates how to make music from watermelons on a very early sampler, making tape loops and how to start a track with melted 12″.
REMINDER:
We will be meeting in the Brown Center for the first half of class from 4pm – 6pm for more artist talks and MIDI mapping demo with Ableton Live. The second half of tonight’s class will be dedicated to our live re.mix performances using Ableton Live and be held at the Baltimore Free School:
