The Once Was

We just wrapped a session with a most excellent band called The Once Was. They came all the way out from Jersey to record at Sound Arts, under the astute ear of our own Andrew Duncan.

They play regularly at NPR’s World Cafe, and definitely have it together enough to go the long haul. Good luck guys and hope to see you back in Cali soon!

We’re setting up shop with many an instrument and studio gear…to replicate the studio experience for anyone who comes by our spot (NE corner of the Expo Hall, in the Bay Area music Maker’s corner). We’re across the hall from a piano deconstruction(ist), and we may just entice the fellow to let us sample some of his destroying….

Brian will be hacking game controllers into tube screamers, and DJ Quantum will be selecting. Everything we’ll be doing, we’ll also be teaching.

Further adventures in controlling Jitter video with Ableton Live.

Guitarist and electronic musician Christopher Willits continues his monthly series from SoundArts studio. In this episode, he expands on what he began last episode: integrating video footage with live performance using Ableton Live and Max/MSP/Jitter.

Tune in once a month as Christopher shows us some of the ways he produces his own music, as well as the many cool things you can do with recording software. According to Christopher, “I simply want to excite people’s imaginations and creative processes so they can more easily create the sounds and music and art they love.”
