Dimitri Pike - Electrism

Dimitri Pike - Electrism  by  wildtek

I recently had to unplug my complete studio in order to clean up 'behind' the desk and during I was doing this, I noticed that I start to have few tools to create music and some I don't use so much due to the fact that they can't all fit on my desk and also, certainly, because sitting behind the computer makes me lazy and when I need a tool a bit far away from my arms, that needs to be plugged and configured ... I end up loading a similar NI Reaktor ensemble to quickly design the sound I need ... !

So, when putting things back on the desk I decided to takes them one by one and re-focus on each piece of gear to limit myself in technical terms but also to open my creativity.

The track 'Electrism' is the result of this.

I actually produced it using what I call a 'limited setup' that consist of the computer loaded with Ableton Live (for sequencing), the soundcard (for Audio/Midi connections), a Clavia Nord Rack 2 and a 5.1 surround sound system. That's all. I only added a NI Reaktor effect on Aux send in Ableton Live.

At end this gives me a 4 track recording template since the Clavia Nord Rack 2 is equipped with four outputs, I use one for the drum kit and the three others are used for the synths sounds.

I love working this way and I'm even going to develop this project as a mini Live PA of four, five or six tracks that I'll offer for free to download.

Peace
Dimitri Pike

Frequency Berlin Podcast

It's always a big pleasure for me to record a podcast for Frequency Berlin ! It reminds me how much I love this city and it helps me keep a feet in the Berlin extremely active scene despite I can't be in Berlin as much as I wish.

The Frequency Berlin website has been out of activity since a while now but the podcast is still there and distributed via RSS feeds and i-Tunes (search 'Frequency Berlin' at i-Tunes store to subscribe for free and download the podcasts).

The lack of activity of the website don't means that Frequency Berlin is ended ... I can even say that some projects are on the table and it's quite enjoyable since Frequency Berlin is providing music by very respected artists like Claude Young, Pacou, Sender Berlin, Shamus Coghlan and a couple of others ...

Stefan, the manager is actually working on the future of Frequency Berlin and I know he's going to take a good direction, he 's a great website designer, know well Flash and has a deep passion for electronic music so, ... I expect something nice to come.

In wait, enjoy the last podcast ! Here the direct download link :

Latest Teknology Radio Show

Due to a problem at Livesets on Saturday evening, Teknology Radio Show was not streamed. I'm a bit sad since Marley Cole who was playing this show is an excellent techno DJ and definitely desserves to be heard.

It's out of my responsability but I apologize, if you was there to hear Marley Cole, it's now possible by downloading the show at http://teknology.free.fr/

I hope to have Marley Cole playing again soon at Teknology Radio Show.

WARP 20

From Warp :

Leave personal messages and memories and the best will be printed in the album art.We Are Reasonable People.

I have to assume my passion for Warp productions, the picture above only shows a little bit of my collection of CD's and Vinyls from Warp Records. From Aphex Twin to Autechre, from Plaid to Jimi Tenor, I love lot of their works. The music, the design, the whole Warp thing is exceptional in electronic music world.

For their 20 years of activity birthday, Warp let you choose 10 of your favorites tracks that will appears along their own 10 ten favorites. The choice is hard. Definitely.

I hope tracks like 'Autechre - Second Bad Vilbel' or 'Aphex twin - Heliosphan' will be in, these two ones being certainly in my all time favorites from Warp references.

Between, I found a Live PA by Autechre, no other informations than the date : 5.10.05

It's recorded with sounds from the place, peoples screaming and it's just awesome. The way they work beats and sounds is out of anything we ever heard. I never saw them in real and I now definitely wish, I already saw Aphex Twin few times but next, I want Autechre !

OK, I guess you want to vote too ... Here the link :

Surgeon's blog

Anthony Child aka Surgeon just started a blog ! So cool.

Shame on you if you listen to electronic music and don't know about him. He's responsible for several major techno releases of the last ten years and he's a DJ who used early new technologies like Ableton, digital mixers and few other things in his performances.

He's going even deeper with the latest RA podcast recording the performance

"

using a new technique which combines the direct recording with a binaural microphone recording

"

And it's sounding damn good.

So, the blog is here :
