Dave Bryce Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hey y'all... I'm taking off for Amsterdam this morning to go to the AES show. Is there anything that any of you want me to check out while I'm there (besides the coffee bars)? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Well, since you asked... - Go see the new thing TASCAM is premiering there. It's large. Tell me what you think. - Stick your finger in a dyke. You can't do THAT in America. - Pick me up lots of porn. Weird European porn. And a giant brick of hash. No, don't do that. I don't want to think about some "Midnight Express" scene with you involved. Also...I heard there was this island that you can walk out to at low tide that's like four miles away, and if you don't make it back in time, the tide rises, covers the island entirely, and you swim or die. Check that out for me, okay? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check that out for me, okay? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif You're probably thinking of Isle Saint-Michel, which is in France near the border of Normandie and Brittanique.

KidCharlemagne Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Really, they have coffee bars in Amsterdam? Wow, just like the USA!!

St. Michael was a guy. ouch. i guess i should stay out of the coffee bars. actually the prelude i refer to is the sunken cathedral, which now my faulty memory tells me may actually be on some other island. all though there seems to be a conflict between two gremlins in my head as to who's correct. easy guys, we'll find out. whatever, great freaking chords and nice and loud!

marino Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hi Dave, I would suggest a visit at Donemus. It'a publisher that sells direct; they have editions and CDs of Dutch contemporary music you can't find anywhere else. They should still be at Paulus Potterstraat 14-16, zone 1071 CZ. I mean, if the Dutch spring, beer and girls are going to leave you some time... And don't forget the Van Gogh Museum! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif AES?

Well, the weather is fine, real spring weather. Winter was not hursh this year as it can be. About excitement, I dont really know. It`s a bit dull knowdays, sence it`s a dead season for gigs, but it looks very prommising for this summer. You know how it goes: less money people have - less is offered for the people. We`re still struglling to secure steddy jobs that can pay the bills, and everything else will have to wait for a while. If you want to know about last excitement in the streets, all I will tell you is that medias are pumping things up too much. It`s not too bad, only annoying. Facsiam is trying to make a last stand and it`s NON PASSARAN for it, as it should be. Well, I`m sorry, I dont want to ruin this wonderfull forum with politics, so I`m going to shut up.

SolipsismX Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 can you check out the nord lead 3? it's not out yet and I haven't met anybody who has any hands on experience. I probably can't afford an andromeda so I'm probably gonna have to buy something in that price range and I won't buy something like a waldorf or virus until I know more about the nord lead 3. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidCharlemagne Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Originally posted by Tusker: Kid: You got a number for this Debussy piece? Full name maybe. Like to hear it. Cheers, Jerry "Le Cathedral Engloutie" is the prelude, from Book I, i believe (dover editions are durable and affordable if you don't have this wonderful collection of small pieces). i guess i play the sunken cathedral about twice a decade these days, but back in the day i played the shit out of that piece, for fun and profit. If you dig quartal and quintal voicings, transcendent harmonics that resemble shimmering light and make the sound feel like cool moist air rising up around you, non-functional dominants that carry you across interweaving melodic lines, and, your hands deeeeeep in the keys, a fortissississimo climax that'll make them quiver in their chairs, you're likely to get off on this masterpiece. enjoy. (and if you like that one, check out the Rachmaninoff prelude in b minor for a good fix in getting your fingers and hands in deep.)

Dave Bryce Posted May 15, 2001 Author Share Posted May 15, 2001 Okay, I'm back now.... Due to some...ummmm - internet complications, I was only able to get online once during my brief stay across the pond, and that was a read-only scenario...don't ask...the bottom line is that I'll be buying that Titanium this week, I think... Also, I radically underestimated my free time (note to self - two days is too short), and wasn't able to see a lot of the stuff that I wanted to see. However, since the majority of what you guys asked me to see was keyboard stuff, no big deal - AES is an audio show, and AES Europe is a seriously audio show. There weren't any keyboards being shown there that I could see (except a QS7 tucked under Tascam's new turnkey audio production toy, the SX1 ). Also, a lot of companies don't even go to AES Europe - for example, MOTU was a no show, so I couldn't find out about DP 3.0, about which I was very curious. The good news is that it looks like I came away with an agreement that will have me involved in bringing my beloved ADAM Audio speakers into the USA, which makes me very happy. As those of you who read the forum pretty regularly know, I worship these things, and will be very glad to see them become available stateside. Kloppy, I did try to bring back your weird Euro-porn, but the customs folks decided that they wanted it instead... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif ...and Valky - first of all, let me just say I WAAAAAAY understand the sugar in the soda thing - it's one of my favorite things about leaving the US - I can drink Real Actual Coca-Cola that takes skin off as it goes down! For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, remember when Bill Cosby came on our TVs in the early 80's and told us about New Coke? Then, old Coke went away, but "came back" as Coke Classic? Then the New Coke vanished altogether? I believe that the New Coke was intentionally bad to distract us from the fact that Classic Coke wasn't the same - they pulled a switcheroo and removed the sugar - they use fructose now. It ain't the same. One sip of Euro-Coke, and you'd realize right away how different it is. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/frown.gif Anyway, long story short - I kept buying the damned Fanta...then drinking it - I just couldn't resist. I finally had a friend buy some and hide it in my suitcase where I couldn't find it, but the customs folks found it, and drank it on the spot. I tried, Valky...I owe you one...next time, I'll just try and ship it to you. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 The Coke has more caffeine in it over there too. More than even Mountain Dew which according to a Penn State study has so much caffeine that it actually shrivels your penis up temporarily if you have one. Of course, if you were desiring to remain monogamous and disease free in Amsterdam it would be a good deterrent. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Okay, I'm back now.... Welcome back! Where's my porn? There weren't any keyboards being shown there that I could see (except a QS7 tucked under Tascam's new turnkey audio production toy, the SX1 ). Hey, yeah...we premiered the SX-1. It's pretty sexy, hence the name. Get it? Sexy? SX-1? I'm a genius. Now where's my porn???

Well, I've heard there's actually porn on the internet http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif I believe that the New Coke was intentionally bad to distract us from the fact that Classic Coke wasn't the same - they pulled a switcheroo and removed the sugar - they use fructose now. It ain't the same. This is completely true. I miss that feeling of real Coke scraping all the enamel off my teeth and dissolving my esophogeal membranes every time I took a sip out of a glass pinchwaist bottle...it didn't get any better than that.

Steve44 Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 I had heard that Dew just caused impotence.. none of that shrinkage junk. This was a fun thread to read. Dave, I'm sorry to hear of your laptop troubles.. though any reason to get a Titanium is a good one! Jeff your post reminds me of that simpsons episode where they go to the internet cafe. Homer says "C'mon Lisa, Monkeys!" And regarding the Sunken Cathedral of Debussy, that's Preludes book I, number 10, and is the most magnificent piece of that collection. I learned a ton from and through that piece, and highly recommend it. However everywhere I've read has told me that the inspiration for it was in a painting.. I never heard of this Island thing..
