MIDI IMPLEMENT PART TWO

With the arrival of two HKU sound design students, robin and nick, who will do an 10 week internship at the WORMstudio, the midi implementation takes a higher gear. Watch the coming weeks the progression we make, starting with ableton live and max for live patches, using two kentons to connect to the arp, the korg, the putney. We promise christmas tunes, cheeky arrangements and brandnew ringtones.

We made a little video of Tom at work in the studio but it mysteriously dissappeared from our HD. So we stole a picture of his website from a series of photo's called 'likeminds'. We're not sure it's Tom posing here but it really looks like him.

In the second week of august Michael Morley (the Dead C), Sarah Stephenson & Nina Canal (ex-UT) used the WORM studio to work on several things, one being a conceptual Cornelius Cardew Piece 'The Tiger's Mind' and they also got to record a lot of other new material.
'The Tiger's Mind' was originally played with a fourth member, Nadia Lichtig, in Paris for a Cornelius Cardew festival

It's an interesting piece, so i asked them for some more information about it.

Christoph Kurzmann im WORMstudio

Christoph Kurzmann ('citizen of the world' -living in Berlin, Vienna & Buenos Aires, musician, organiser, founder of the charhizma label) visited the WORM studio in the first week of august to work on some new stuff and also to make preparations for a by WORM curated radioplay about the Financial Crisis he is gonna finish in Argentina next month. And here he is, relaxed behind the mixing desk, the Enigmatic & Prolific Mister K.!

return of the mix sequencer model 1050

It was out of order for a long time but now look at this little work of artistry done by james. replacing all the original ivory white stylish seventies plastic buttons with these no nonsense black leds, glued mind you, so we don't have to pick them up from all over the floor ever...

GOto80

Anders is working on some of his material this week in our studio, aiming to incorporate the ARP 2500 in his music, trying to midisync the arp with the commodore, adding some vocal tracks.

We love the big screen! And the scrolling numbers on it, its archaic in its own way, matching well with the synths.

AND, after working very hard at our studio in semi tropical temperatures this week, here's some pre-tracks, in rough unedited form, but good for tasters.
