Thanks for the recordings. I’ll get them posted along with a report in the next day or so. I’ve already started organizing my ideas for next time.

It was great meeting everyone, the response was overwhelming and I can’t wait until the next event (although I’ve got considerable work to do before then).

Long live Handmade Music!

I’ve zipped up some brief sound files from the night, they’re available here:

one thing that really came through listening back and cutting these out – the amount of laughter and enthusiasm in the room. very cool.

Housepig, et al, glad you enjoyed the event! Can’t wait to see what people bring next time. I’ve made another follow up post in our forum:

just wanted to say I had a blast – looking forward to next month, I’ll bring some projects with me next time! Thanks for throwing this, and making it an open event.

I am curious about connecting little one string guitars into bent circuits. This would be a way for people that don’t want to solder or build to input into the circuits that are getting bent.

I will be bringing my CBG and tape player amp.

Later,
EdV

Re: “That pretty far out of the scope of the Handmade Music gatherings, but you can certainly troll for participants for a project of you are organizing and leading one.” – Again, I’m not at the level yet of creating or sequencing my own midi files, so it’s not that far out. My latest explorations have been with XMPlay’s midi module which allows a person to use and substitute preferred sampled sounds for playing of these files. Yeah, it does involve a lot of time, trial and error to produce high quality results, but for the Handmade Music gatherings at least I’d like to share what I’ve done and maybe open some ears to the possibilities.

Hey, I thought I’d also mention another interest of mine: simulating band organ and carousel music. If you haven’t heard any of my samples yet, check out the “Blaze Away” piece I’ve linked to from this post:

Good post, Paul! Yeah, I think I had a small rebuild up and running 15 years ago, but the first “mothership” build was like 29 years ago! I’ll see if I can determine the status of my chips before the event.
