stevesavage Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi midiboxers,Thought i'd share my lastest project with you all.....The Drum Machine is an audio, visual environment at this years Glastonbury festival. You will find us in the Shangri-La field.The fully interactive, futuristic drum circle combines the uniting powers of percussion, rhythm and dance with innovative music technology.From dub and soundscape sessions through to tribal techno workouts, jam in time to bring the machine to life, and help create the ever-evolving soundtrack.Plus: live performances and DJ sets from special guests.Open till 6am throughout the festival.Look for the giant 808 near the Bassline Circus in the Shangri-La field!Its basically a over sized giant midi controller, built with midibox parts!! (oh an a alesis d4 drum trigger module;))All to enable upto 6 people to jam together, with ableton live, via sampled loops, drum hits, effects and much more.It will also control resolume 3, for all the visual elements!!Here is a photo minus all the buttons, levers, leds.As soon as glasto is over, we will have some time to blog it up.....so will post back here at a later date.Oh an heres a photo of the front of the tent.Keep up the great work Thorsten and co ;)Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevesavage Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 bloody ell someones nicked the rest of the tardis!!!!Ha Ha!!!Funny you should say that, we dubbed it the "techno tardis" for the weekend, due you the general publics love of bashing away on the pads. Resulting in everything thing sounding like Ritchie Hawtin - Spastic ???Was ace fun and people were either bemused, didn't belive it worked or were completly loving it. Loads of people even came back night after night, bringing more mates with them everytime, so a result in my eyes 8)As always theres many inprovements to be done, but its all still working, so roll on the next festival.....A few photos. (Proper web site to come)Yes its a bit muddy, well it was glastonbury!We were all dressed in white lab coats, to give it more of a science experiment look/feel.
