During my early teenage years I received a free cd copy of an album called Reactivate 11 at an underage disco.

have been your mentors? Who inspires you? Who has made a lasting impression on your style?

DJ QBERT: I’m a student of everyone. I’ve learned that everyone knows something more than the next man… even the guys that suck. They may teach you some things that they can’t do yet or an idea that you never thought of. As long as you are open to learning, you’ll always gain something to add to your artistic vocabulary that will help the art.
I find myself listening to lots of jazz like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, and Miles Davis, etc. also lots of guitar greats and piano documentaries. Also classical music and their philosophies are real good too… dang, I listen to everything!

“I’ve always thought of Sun Ra or of weird jazz artists that are totally going against the grain and make something that’s not there”, he explains as he delves into his current inspirations. “I tend to go back to the 50’s with Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Pee Wee Russell. I love going back to those guys. They’re so advanced they might as well be from the future.”

Her four albums, despite minor differences, cohere stylistically.

Their consistency owes much to the fact that Sade has recorded, performed and written songs with the same band -- Andrew Hale (keyboards), Stuart Matthewman (guitars and saxophone) and Paul S. Denman (bass) -- for the last eight years. The sound they have created partakes heavily of early-70's soul music influences, most notably Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, but is more intimate and sophisticated.

RECORDINGS VIEW; With a Quiet Empathy, Sade Creates Small Gems

With varying results scientists, engineers and philosophers devoted their life to this cause. However one companies exploration trumped all efforts by developing the most proficient system the world had seen.

In 1999 Georgia Tech created the first Nurocomputer using a leeches brain. Nearly a century later we now see this was the beginning of the end for earth as we knew it. The technology was engineered again and again until computing systems could be mapped to all 32 of a leeches brain.

Wetware had become the biggest commodity to ever exist. What we didnt anticipate was the rapid growth in neural capacity of the the highly sort after Haementeria ghilianii which was the military's weapon of choice in regards to research in neural computers.

As humans we had entered a new realm of organic digital power however we had also spawned a new intelligence the cyborg Leech. What could be worse than an intelligent lifeform cereberally connected to every networking system?

Well, the answer is one that also drinks blood!

For the most part the human race has now become enslaved for the sole purpose of farming blood. Any hope of returning our civilisation to its former glory lay in the hands of 3 scientists who claim to have a new potent nanotechnology. Only problem is, they are on the other side of the world at the now abandoned CERN large hadron collider the only place left protected by the remaing military force

This is true in many places we can look however I think Music,sound and audio technology has been one of the foremost drivers of this force.Whilst tracing my own musical inspirations I began to notice a certain theme that I cant see so clearly eg. other common artforms. If we look back to the earliest concepts of music what we find is predominately rythym and percussion. Of course music has evolved and continuues to do so since the days of hitting sticks with other sticks and clacking rocks together, Even just over the past few hundred years we have seen amazing things happen Some of the greatest advances in music and sound derive from ideas and technological endeavours that original were conceived for the purpose of things that they are not even remotely asscociated with today.An example of such is the development of modern stereo sound.Virtually everybody in the modern would owns or has owned a stereo system, or at very least have most likely have experienced it (wether they realize it or not You will find It in music, in movies, in video games and countless other platforms. Nowdays audio books are often developed with stereophonic sound. Yes, chances are you could enjoy your favourite authors next book or novel in stereo!Although most of us today were born long after stereo sound was born the original incentive for creating this technology was something we can all relate too. Alan Blumlein was an electronics engineer who for the most part worked in telecommunications and sound recording however most notably radar technology. Alan, along with his wife were avid fans of the cinema and enjoyed spending outings together watching movies. One evening after one of such outings Alan was feeling unsattisfied and somewhat frustrated with the presentation of audio within the film industry as a whole. from the current technology he and his wife had just watched. He wished to devise a way in which if he were watching a movie and the oundwould cred with what was taking place on the screen, The Dialogue in film was simply coming from the center regardless of if the actor was on the far left or right of the screen. This was the prevelant factor that drove Blumlein along a train of thought that eventually brought the world stereophonic technology. Today we have 5.1 surround sound systems that you can afford to have in your own bedroom.7.2 sound systems are avaivalbe for home use for a few dollars extra. Beyond just excellent sound systems for entertainment, Hypersonic sound has now been patented and some of its applications are nothing short of incredible.From a mans humble desire to get more from his cinamatic experience via audio to the worlds superpowers utilising hypersonic sound in milatary scenarios with capabilties of significant strategic advantages. Though the technology is still years from becoming mainstream, HSS could be used to make laptop speakers that blare music to the person in front of the screen, while no one else could hear it. It could allow a grocery store to play audio advertisements that seem to come from, say, the display of Duracell batteries, yet the ad could be heard only by the shopper in front of the display. An HSS-equipped car could play one CD for the parents up front and another for kids in the back. Neither would hear even a whisper of the others' music. (Kevin ManeyUSA TODAY May20, 2003)So there is certainly no doubt that a simple good idea can evolve into something beyond its original thinker could ever dream of. One of my personal favourites of this notion is the Roland Tb - 303. Originally designed to acompany the successful roland 808 and 909 drum machines as a virtual/ non human bass player. It was an effort to allow songwriters more freedom to create music without the need for another human to be physically present playing the instrument. For Roland as a company things didnt go quiet as they had planned and hoped. Not long after the release of the TB - 303 bass synthesizer the unit itself was deemed essentially useless. Sounding nothing like an instrument with that familiar "bass sound" at the time it was released the now insanely sort after synth was pretty discarded into second hand shops, given away or in some cases even thrown in the trash. However, that was not the last we would hear of the silly little bass machine that was branded a failure.years passed and something profound began to take place,The little bass machine found found its way into the hands of various artists and innovators. A small group of guys from chicago began playing around with the 303 and discovered its silly attempt a being a bass guitar may not be so silly after all. Next thing you know House Music is born.So going back to my opening statement I find it incredibly exciting that these things can and do happen. We dont now where the next powerhouse of inspiration may come from but I like to keep my eyes and ears aware with my mind open.The little bass machine that couldn't is actually responsible for one of the largest movements in recent musical history, and the next one could be just around the corner. 106676 https://padlet.com/106676/ahqdn5pbdeft/wish/271888495
