This month's theme brought me nostalgia -- nostalgia for a place called 'The Dive' in Greenwich Village, NYC and the 'Modern/Freeform Jazz' that people could hear there circa 1959 through 1966. It was a 'participatory experience', with people banging spoons on glasses and shouting in rhythm. On the stage were maybe eleven musicians and maybe two mics. Five or six horn players, two percussionists, piano player and bass. One of the horn players would wander over to the one mic they all shared and mumble a few phrases, blow his spit valve, and wander back to blow arrhythmic meloncholy dissonances, while the bass player aimed his F-holes at the drummer so they could share the other mic -- usually on the floor in front of a 25 inch kick -- and the groove.

Maybe later of an evening, wandering down East Nineth St. and into the Dive would be boys with names like Clarke, Duke, Corea and Zappa -- even dudes like Rod Serling, who would pepper his TV episodes of 'Twilight Zone' with some progressive works... Meanwhile, new spots like The Fillmore East and the Psychedelicatessen would soon be hosting young lads with names like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison... ;)
So, here's my humble attempt at recreating a fond memory of the music that has served to more or less inspire me all my life...

All my friends go here and there
Do this and that
Wonder where it's at...

They race around with awkward grace
Hearts on fire
Walk the wire...

To find the truth
They fly too high
Tell you the truth
I'll just grab a cab...

*Used the fantastic ChineeKong -- an awesome instrument... (if I do say so meself...

:hihi: )
Cheers & Thanks for listening,
Alex ;)

i had the title but the song is totally different from what i was working on. while browsing synth patches i fell into a true aquarian moment and the white dove vibe flowed through me and showed me visions of lonely satellites calling their love through the vastness. good buzz.

And now for something completely different...

Freeztar Remixes Vurt's "The Way Forward"

Mp3 Version

Better sounding Ogg Version

It's an ambient one way ticket journey to somewhere.
So light up, lean back, close your eyes and space out man. It is Vurtstock after all.
We must be in heaven man! :D
Anti-aliasing is for "synthmonk%ys".

Whaheeeeyyyyy an early finish (now let's hope I'll not regret it)

Getting more comfertable with the mic, but I was just not able to write some lyrics. I've just kept to some sung sentences :oops:
In the background you can hear some clips and sounds from the Southport gathering 8)

Culprits:
HW: Fizmo, SY85, ProteusFX
SW: FilterscapeVA, Podolski, PlugsoundFree (tribal perc), Drumatic (kick)
FX: Bionic Delay, a few SIRs with Kaleidoskopy impulses and FilterscapeQ6

So tell me to stop singing :hihi:

Have I ever failed to entertain you guys?
I dropped just for this track.
Can you tell?

KvR Rabbit

One plug makes you larger
And one plug makes you small
And the ones that CM gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Knockman
When he's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing samples
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
To call Vurt
When he was just small

When the know it alls in the forums
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just ate some kind of mushroom
And the sound is moving slow
Go ask KvR
I think they'll know

When logic and nuendo
Have fallen sloppy dead
And when cubase's recording backwards
And XT is over your head
Remember what the donkster said:
"Feed your Head
Feed your Head!"

You cant depend on a lot of things
You need a busload of faith to get by.

My first song on internet and I put it on the wrong place, oh dear ! So here we go again :
Back in ´69 I had my first electric band and made my first "electric" song. In ´72 we broke up and since then it hasn´t been played again. So for this month´s song contest at KVR I recorded a short version of that song (it used to take between 5 and 20 min., in those days we took our time...). I call it "Rush ´69" (the band´s name was Rush), because I even don´t remember how it was called !
It is recorded with Logic. My Max´s MiniStrat goes through Boss GX-700 into the pc, then throu Puncher and mda Detune.
Some samples and backings from "Madame Jordanne".
4FrontBass, Puncher and BassChorus. B4 and MiniMogue. EXS24 for sax and drums (George´s Yohng´s W1 Limiter). On the busses : Classic Delay, Classic Reverb and Glace Verb. In the mastersection : George Yohng´s W1 Limiter... .. .
That´s all, no EQ ! Get it here :

Rush '69
Carpo diem ergo sum !

I was born six years later than the 1969 Woodstock concert... :)

Vurtstock Dreaming (cut loose, sail the cosmic vibe)

micro adjustments
made on a dial
hitching the trail
of comet dust
let's dream the dream
that the dreamers dream

gonna sit awhile
and grow a beard
among the grass

gonna gravitate in on
early morning worlds
of distant illusion

gonna partake of
ambient noodling
upon a solitary key;
you and me and Col.G

{cut loose, sail the cosmic vibe baby!}

heading down to vurtsock

{been sweating out, been breaking them rocks!}

just to pay for the ride...

This is just about the most poppy thing that I have written since....well...ever.

Tracktion is the host.

The bass and drums are from my soon to be released loop collection. The synths are Krakli's Rticul8, Ugo's String Theory, and Crystal.

Compression courtesy of Mackie's Final Mix.

Reverb courtesy of SIR and my own homemade plate reverb impulses (from a friends homemade plate reverb).

All other effects are from the Kjaerhus Classic series. :hail:

Thanks to Beardeone for hosting my song (and a belated and apologetic thanks to vurt for doing the same last month :oops: ).




What it is

It's about Community
Not how cool that you can be
Internationality
Not an ideology
People come from everywhere
Never leave their office chair
Just remember that it's free
Just like all the plugins used by me

It's a contest
but it's not a struggle
It's not about the prize you can win
It's just a game
That isn't ever twice the same
And what you get out of it is the same
as the effort and time that you put into it

When I saw the theme the first thing that came into my head was doing a Hendrix cover so here it is.
