<div>I'm slowly building a home studio/performance set-up for my music and I'm in serious need of a good vocal mic for a reasonable amount of money, hopefully under or around $300. I'm a trained opera singer so sound quality is important..... <br/>Any suggestions? <br/>Thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 15 replies </div>

<div>By the way, I"m going to be doing an experimental show utilizing gongs, found objects and extended vocal <br/>techniques at the Anno Domini Gallery in San Jose (366 South First Street between San Salvador and San Carlos) <br/>this coming Saturday night with a creative touring group from Porltand, yourdrugsmymoney. <br/>We will be doing a collaborative set at the end of the night and there is talk of putting this out on yourdrugsmymoneys' record label if it comes out well. <br/> <br/>Because I've been so into Power Noize, Noise and Industrial/EBMish stuff lately, my performance will reflect a lot of that <br/>sensibility. <br/> <br/>I'm so excited, I just purchase a Feedback eliminator which will allow me to use very heavy distortion with vocals and found objects <br/>without having all the uncontrollable feedback problems that occur with live microphones. <br/> <br/>I'll also be projecting my new lo fi, toy digital video animations that I"ve been making at the show. <br/>Come on out to an unusual creative show in the South Bay if you don't have anything to do. <br/> <br/>It's 5 bucks at the door (8 p.m. start) and noone will be turned away for lack of funds.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hello folks, <br/> <br/>I'm an artist who is fascinated with blurring the boundaries between organic and digital sound. <br/> <br/>I'm working on a track for my second album which will attempt to combine organic voice recordings (especially overtone/undertone harmonic singing), vocoders, speech synthesis, and beatboxing. This tribe sounds like a great resource for ideas for this track and my other music. <br/> <br/>Feel free to check out my stuff: <br/> <br/>http://z.odi.ac/bm/ <br/> <br/>Look forward to learning and sharing in this tribe. <br/> <br/>-Drew</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>I'm excited to announce that I will be flying out to headline the Boise Experimental Music Festival on Friday,April 28th <br/> <br/>Though not entirely a voice and electronics gig, I will definitely be doing a couple of acapella pieces <br/>at all of these shows. <br/> <br/>To celebrate that I will be doing a 2 hour exploratory <br/>show to warm up for that gig at Meta Music in Santa Cruz (in the old More Music <br/>building right around the block from the Blue Lagoon off of Pacific Avenue) <br/>on Tuesday night, April 25th. <br/> <br/>so I'm very excited that Jonathan, the owner of Meta Music will be hosting my musical <br/>quirkiness. <br/> <br/>Speaking of the devil, I"m also honored that Jonathan will be opening that show with his <br/>long term Acid Folk project, KAMM at 7:30 p.m. <br/> <br/>The show is free and I hope to see you all down there. I'll do some fun audience participation <br/>experiments if there are enough people showing up. <br/>*************************** <br/>META MUSIC's relatively new location: <br/> <br/>For those of you who haven't checked out Jonathan's really creative all vinyl music store, it's a trip. He has done some beautiful design with an already very interesting building (performers play on a narrow baloncy looking down into the main room. He's made a really comfy and beautifully designed chill room right next to the stage and is really into having the place be a hang spot for aficianados of discerning new music and electronica. <br/> <br/>Check it out. I love it there. <br/> <br/>************************* <br/>I will also be featured at the MAKER Festival at the San Mateo Fairgrounds on the Sunday the 23rd in the late afternoon. This is a fascinating fair that showcases people who make unusual things from all over the country. It gets reported on CNN and national news and is a fascinating day of creativity sharing. <br/> <br/>I'll be performing a set and then also doing a demonstration of the latest in live looping technology and techniques <br/>for those interested in the details of that world. <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I have noticed a trend with electronic music and voices. A lot of electronic music with voice is female voice. There are exceptions, there are male voices but it is not as common. Do others notice this? <br/>So of course I bring this up because I am a male vocalist, and because I tend to sing, and not rap I have had a hard time finding electronic collaboration. My voice tends to be soulful, and more toward a male version of elizabeth frasier, with a bit of eastern influence (north indian classical, balkan,and middle eastern), as well as non-verbal and experimantal(meredith monk). <br/>Are those of you who make electronic music more drawn to the female voice? I am just curious. <br/>I am drawn to voices and music that take me to another state of being, or disorientation.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 11 replies </div>

<div>Hi people, <br/> <br/>I'm Dave the singer in the band Reactor. The last track on our debut album is a dark and bendy vocoder epic called 'Reaching Out'. It uses the traditional 'voice through chords' vocoder technique with one crucial difference. All the notes in the chords are independent lines which bend in different directions to make the chord changes. It's very trippy! <br/> <br/>www.reactor-site.com/clips/reactor_reachingout_clip.mp3 <br/> (1Mb) <br/> <br/>You can buy the album and get loads of free stuff at www.reactorsite.com (video, mp3s, sampled instruments, gallery etc) <br/> <br/>Hope you like it!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>What creative ideas do you all have for Voice and Electronics <br/>in the new year? <br/> <br/>I just got a really great distortion pedal and want to learn how to tame it's output so I can use it with my voice. <br/> <br/>I heard of a noise artist who runs his voice through 9 different distortion pedals, so that the end result sounds nothing like voice but still what you sing heavily effects the noise output. <br/>I haven't even heard what he did but it was really inspiring to her about it. <br/> <br/>I also am going to try and woodshed some new Indian ragas and exotic world scales vocally this year. I was inspired by a live looping duet I did with Bansuri Flute master, Deepak Ram last year. I just asked him to give me five or six of his favorite Ragas and three or four key signatures to learn them in to prepare for our improv. <br/> <br/>Oh, and I really want to mount another Voice and Electronics Festival down here in Santa Cruz and possibly in San Jose at the San Jose Museum of Art. <br/> <br/>I'm hoping that Matt Davignon will feel like repeating the Two Day Bay Area Voice and Electroinics Thingee again as well. <br/> <br/>That's where I got to hear the incomparable Dina Emerson for the first time. I'm a big fan of her artistry now. <br/> <br/>Happy New Years everyone. <br/> <br/>What's up for you guys?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hello there! <br/> <br/>I'm not really sure why Rick ever invited me to join this group. I am not a "vocalist" per se and never have been. I'm one of the many non-singing guitar mangelrs out there -- mostly cuz I can't sing and play at the same time. The only place I sing is in church (really)! <br/> <br/>But I am re-thinking this since I a;so happen to be a "looper" -- especially after witnessing the many vocal possibies at Y2K4. My first question for y'all is: In terms for "bang for your buck" what is a good device to start with in radically modifying vocals? I have a iBook too, so that question could also be answered in terms of a software solution. <br/> <br/>I know Rick uses a Digitech "Vocalist" type of pedal and has software like "Kantos" and stuff. What does this group have to say? <br/> <br/>Best, <br/> <br/>Ted Killian</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I got two rad new toy 'megaphone' styled effects processors this week at a local family owned toy store. <br/> <br/>My favorite is the MAX SOUND Echo Machine ($13- part # 691) <br/>which has a cheesy fix rate and length repeat echo on it. <br/> <br/>What's cool is that it amplifies your voice initially and then adds the echo so I was able to do some rad things by beatboxing <br/>using the tempo of the echo. <br/> <br/> <br/>Also, it is really easy to overdrive the sound which gives this delicious lo-fi distortion sound with high falsetto sounds <br/>(and I can also get it to do controlled feedback at a couple of pitches). <br/> <br/>I liked it so much that I bought two of them................ <br/> <br/>Oh yeah, and the echo will turn off on a dime when you let go of the 'trigger'. I was getting some cool surreal stereo effects by suddenly cutting the trigger on one while continuing to sing through the other. <br/> <br/>I tell ya, I'm in love, L- U- V <br/> <br/>The other one is just your standard robot voice/techno/cheesy pitch shifter (VOICE CHANGER, # 661) (all the units that do this use the same chip, no matter what the manufacturer)............this one seems particularly lowfi, though and creates some really nice faux industrial (but still waaaaaay lo - fi) effects when I put it through the echo machine. <br/> <br/>What also cracks me up is that there is a big yellow sticker on the device that says, "APPROVED DECIBEL LEVEL" on it <br/>(which I could have that stickered on some harley davidson motorcyles that run through our neighborhood). <br/> <br/> <br/>I can't find a website for this company, but here's the address <br/> <br/>SRM Entertainment, LTD. <br/>Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19046</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Even though I started my musical life off as a drummer, I have always loved stomp box pedals. <br/> <br/>For someone who can hardly even play a proper chord on a guitar, I have collected them; lusted after them; perused hundreds of catalogues; gawked at dozens of floor pedal setups of performing musicians (damn, have you ever seen the LA band, WOVEN's floor pedal set up? DAMN!!) <br/> <br/>Tonight, I was wishing I had a tribe to go to, to ask a question about distortion pedal recommendations and I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd start this tribe going. <br/> <br/>Please come join me if you resonate with this obsession. <br/> <br/>Thanks, Rick Walker</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I can't wait to get hold of this software.....................to completely mangle it and <br/>fuck it up. <br/> <br/>By the way, in a couple of weeks I am going to release <br/>an EP/CD called FAUX VOIX which will have several of my experiements with text to voice editors and edits of four of my <br/>all vocal pieces from the my most recent tour of Europe, the Woodstockhausen esoteric music festival and Matt DAvignon's <br/>Voice and Electronics thingee. <br/> <br/>It's all vocal and faux vocal with processing. <br/> <br/>It'll be available through my website if anyone is interested: <br/> <br/>www.looppool.info <br/> <br/>Also, I am uploading an .AVI film of my entire collaboration with Video Animator DAvid Tristram at the Woodstockhausen festival for free download at my site as well. It came out pretty cool. <br/> <br/>Cheers and happy thanksgiving, vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike!

<div>Hi everybody, <br/> <br/>I was so turned on and excited about meeting all of you the other night and realized that I don't want to wait another year until Matt or I plan such an event so I thought I'd attempt to pull us all together and maybe encourage some of you to produce a similar gig whereever you live to keep the <br/>'vibe' going. <br/> <br/>I really loved the evening and every single artist stimulated me and gave me ideas for how to do such a thing better the next time. <br/> <br/>I also wanted to stimulate a discussion and have people describe (only if they have the time and inclination) what their approach was last night, both techically and aesthetically. <br/> <br/>It would be fascinatig to hear what turned the singers on about the processing (and each other's performances) and what critiques they have of the process as well. <br/> <br/>The same thing goes for the processors.........What turned you on? What would you do differently with more time to prepare? <br/>What surprised you? etc. , etc. <br/> <br/>************************************* <br/> <br/>I also wanted to profusely thank Matt for all the hard work and truly selfless energy that he put into this two night show. <br/>I was sick on Friday and missed the Thursday night show in San Francisco but if Matt is into it, maybe we can invite the folks who contributed to that one here as well. <br/> <br/>People like Matt are rare in my book. Any community who has someone who tirelessly tries to connect artists and promote creativity (especially when it is outside of the box) is a blessing. <br/> <br/>thanks, buddy. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://electronicvoice.tribe.net">Voice and Electronics</a> - 0 replies </div>
