Message-ID: For those that are idiomatic enough to go out on a limb and admit that they appreciate the more hyphy aspects of the Bay from time to time, I got a question for ya: Does anyone know of anyone or any place that might cater to booking or hosting acts of the more experimental hip-hop/art hop, abstract beat driven introspective poetry-esque delineation? Curious for two reasons: 1.) An act from LA with some mutual friends asked me to help them out with a show in the bay - but I'll unfortunately be out of town when they're around so can't personally hook something up myself - hence this cleverly-veiled public decree for a little help. and 2.) In a cultural melting pot as thick as this, you'd think there would be at least some hint of the tendrils of the various hyphy-influenced indie crowds intertwining... it has to be happening somewhere - is it that I'm just such a hermit these days that I can't hear it from under my rock? talk to me, people. t.

I'm a member of the Music Teacher's Association of California, which recommends teachers from their database, based upon the distance from your home: http://www.mtac.org/info/findteacher.php Members of the MTAC are required to have a minimum Bachelor's degree in piano. Students who follow the MTAC curriculum are given exercises in technique (scales, chords, cadences, etc,) ear training (recognizing major/minor; intervals, etc.), sight reading, music fundamentals and tonal harmony, and repertoire--mostly classical, but a little jazz is available, too). Also, the MTAC has an optional curriculum in free improvisation and easy jazz improvisation (mostly blues at the early grades)! The organization also offers opportunities for public performance in the form of student recitals. They even offer scholarships to people interested in becoming piano teachers.

Message-ID: <71E919EE-1CF9-4E8C-BA88-EF1C7FB780A2@metatronpress.com> Greetings BA-NewMus Comrades, I'm writing seeking a few women and men to perform with the Cornelius Cardew Choir on Sunday 17 May 2009 at 2 pm at San Francisco Public Library's Koret Auditorium. We're doing three pieces that day: Pauline Oliveros' Windhorse, Sarah Rose Stile's Three Choirs, a Conductor, and a Soundbank, and the first performance of English composer Sam Richard's About Time. We need people to sing, though none of these pieces require traditional vocal training. Being able to match pitch is real help in what we're doing. If you have the good sense of phrasing and listening to be active in the improv scene, you'll have good skills for the repertory we do, and we'd love to have you. Most of you already know the our esteemed colleagues Pauline and Sarah. Their work is really strong and fun to rehearse and perform. Most of you probably don't know Sam Richards. He knew Cornelius Cardew and Sam's compositions show influences there. "About Time" is a work lasting approx 40 minutes. During that time we sing texts from the Peasant's Revolt in England in the 14th century, the Digger's Tracts from the 17th century, and other revolutionary voices, crumple paper, blow on bottles, use small percussion instruments, sing a melody, listen and sing pitches along with various drones, etc. See http://www.samrichards.org.uk/ In addition to the 17 May performance, we're performing with trombonist/composer Stuart Dempster ahd his spouse Renko (aka visual artist Suiren) at Meridian Gallery in SF on Wed. 13 May. That involves a rehearsal that evening at 6:30 for the performance at 7:30. We're happy to have you with us for that as well, but you can do the 17th without doing the 13th. The Cardew Choir is a volunteer group and none of us receive compensation for participating. Maybe that will change after the complete collapse of capitalism? We rehearse from 7-9 pm on the following dates in Berkeley, near the Ashby BART. Thu 23 April Thur 30 April Sat 2 May rehearsal AND Mayday party, this doesn't have to end at 9 pm Mon 4 May Wed 6 May Performance Wed 13 May 7:30 pm Meridian Gallery with Stuart and Renko Dempster Fri 15 May Performance Sun 17 May 2 pm Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Public Library, downtown SF (call time 1 pm). Please contact me off list if you are interested. tbickley at metatronpress.com Thanks very much!

But just like the Vogue air brush, there's undoubtedly many more uses to the tool than just painting away wrinkles and stretch marks. With auto-tune, the dumb vocodery t-cher robot voice only occurs when you crank the attack time on the effect to full throttle and sing REALLY off key. If you're only sort of off key, it's much less noticeable in the live/vst version. With the full package, you can process off-line note by note and really get zesty with pitch correction. However, that's still working under the assumption that you're still working "in the box" with the software. Let's get out of our cardboard safety net for a second and talk about creative MUSICAL applications of the software - (just to dispel the notion that while it probably took a fair amount of time for our video artist to click and cut our news personalities and other stereotypes into a beat-matched grid, the argument we're going for is the creative use of auto-tune as an application, not the use of auto-tune in a creative application) - for instance, auto-tune comes pre-packaged with a huge chunk of just-intoned tuning maps, as well as the option for you to create your own tuning maps if you so desire. Hell, it even has an 11-limit 43 note per octave Partch scale as one of it's in box presets - even with the t-pain preset, you;d think that would at least be somewhat creative! However, that's not my initial early-morning, pre-coffee thought on creatively using said plugin - this is: Take a nice gong and your usual bass bow used for playing gongs "west-coast improv style." Find the fundamental tone of the gong, possibly a slew of harmonics, if desired, either through intuition, experimentation or via ye olde chromatic tuning device. From there, add a dash of auto-tune, possibly running on an aux-send, either hooked to a mixer or via volume pedal, if you happen to be spartan in your live setups. Tune autotune to a really nice set of intervals that'll really create some interesting beatings when applied to a live room and t-pain to taste - i'd personally go for something much more subtle in this case, but eh, you know, do what you gotta. From there, go to town with a nice selection of expanded hyperinstrument psychoacoustics ala auto-tune and bask in the glory of turning consumer intentions on it's side once again, just like that time you used a vibrator on your guitar or airbrushed that really cool looking wizard on the side of your burner-mobile at the playa... or at least he said he was a wizard. hey, more cats! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbbVxkMRqXA&NR=1 (t) On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 1:02 AM, Ron Lettuce wrote: > Wait...now is this the same "Auto-Tune" that has been described as being used to correct pop singers off key singing? much like the Air-brushed supermodels in Vogue? > If so, I don't see it...I would GUARANTEE that there is a much more subtle sort, I mean cause this just sounds like a vocoder to me...and would certainly not?make anyone?believe (pun not intended...in life after love after love after love...) that someone was actually singing in key...Dumb video, yes, but creative, and quite a bit of work, I might add...those people were not just talking in time by accident... > > lettuce > > > > ________________________________ > From: andrew wilshusen > To: Bay Area New Music Discussion Group > Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 8:17:12 PM > Subject: Re: [NewMusic] Auto-Tuned News > > > my hope is that auto-tune abuse?goes the way of the vocoder. > ?andrew > > > http://oudevoida.blogspot.com > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Travis Johns > To: Bay Area New Music Discussion Group > Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 7:02:39 PM > Subject: Re: [NewMusic] Auto-Tuned News > > and now for the conversation-oriented new music-eqsue question to be > tossed out to the masses at large: > > Auto-tune: artistic merit? or the latest in a continual siege of > pitch-adjusted video novelties to be heaped upon the masses as > everyone embraces the least-common-denominator and does their utmost > to imitate... t-pain? which, all said and done isn't really all that > hard, considering that the "t-pain effect" is essentially the demo > preset of the program... > > obviously, this reporter is fairly biased. but regardless, any other > opinions on creative applications of the software? or shall we just > move onto another funny video about, oh, lets see... swimming cats? oh > wait, here's one now! > http://www.youtube.com/watch?vtu6fVdAFGSI&featurerelated > > ...long live local news banter. > > t. > > > > On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:12 AM, kristin miltner wrote: >> HAHA this is so excellent. things DO sound better with autotune. >> >> k >> >> On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 8:23 AM, Gino Robair wrote: >> >>> It only improves it.... >>> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i?b_1240533565 >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Bay Area New Music Discussion Group >>> NewMusic at music.mills.edu >>> http://music.mills.edu/mailman/listinfo/newmusic >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> kristin miltner >> audio professional >> www.kristinmiltner.net >> www.myspace.com/miltnerunit >> http://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinmiltner >> http://www.praemedia.com/consumerproducts.html >> _______________________________________________ >> Bay Area New Music Discussion Group >> NewMusic at music.mills.edu >> http://music.mills.edu/mailman/listinfo/newmusic >> > _______________________________________________ > Bay Area New Music Discussion Group > NewMusic at music.mills.edu > http://music.mills.edu/mailman/listinfo/newmusic > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Bay Area New Music Discussion Group > NewMusic at music.mills.edu > http://music.mills.edu/mailman/listinfo/newmusic > _______________________________________________ > Bay Area New Music Discussion Group > NewMusic at music.mills.edu > http://music.mills.edu/mailman/listinfo/newmusic > From liberatednsf at yahoo.com Sun Apr 26 10:31:55 2009 From: liberatednsf at yahoo.com (andrew wilshusen) Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:31:55 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusic] Auto-Tuned News In-Reply-To: <787335.49434.qm@web54305.mail.re2.yahoo.com> References: <228733.28353.qm@web30602.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <787335.49434.qm@web54305.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <473321.61135.qm@web30608.mail.mud.yahoo.com> in the studio,?auto-tune is usually used to move one or?a few?notes of a song?a few cents closer to being in pitch.?

Anyway, I'm seeking musicians for very casual jamming/improv/learning. I am a guitarist, and have spent much time in the progressive rock genre (my band Metaphor has released 3 cds). The band has run its course, and i'm looking for something else...meditational, ambient, yoga-riffic music is something I'd like to try. I have good equipment including guitar synth. I do compose quite a bit, but in the full band prog rock vein. So hooking up with someone that has some music structures in this different area would be ideal for me, to add my color to the music, perhaps. Or pure improv, with strong melodic sense. Hmmm. Not sure if i'm making sense...

A good place to get started might be to check out www.bayimproviser.com, which is where we have our events calendar. A lot of the musicians on this list also have profiles there. There's a wide, but clumping range of improvised music here, so a good way to find out who's doing the sorts of things you're looking for would be to go to shows on the calendar that might strike your fancy, and say hello to the performers afterwards. We're a pretty friendly bunch.
