David Loving Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Apropos of nothing, how did DJs end up in Keyboard Magazine? What's the connection. Was the magazine looking for another customer/advertising base or what? Just curious. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoron13 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 BT, Moby, Crystal Method... in today's market, being a piano prodigy isn't required. Sequencers, sound design, etc still utilize piano type instruments but don't require a pedagogal piano education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will read much more into your question that you could have thought. I'll sit back and watch. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message.

bleen Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Well, since BT has made many references in print that the last thing he considers himself is a "DJ", he may not be the best choice for your list. He's also got a conservatory background and writes his film scores the old fashioned way - paper & pencil. recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoron13 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 bleen, true, yet regardless what he says, 99.9% of the populace will call him a dj, and as he dj'ed last weekend at 1015 folsom in San Francisco last weekend, he still falls under that category... just like moby plays live instruments and sings at his shows, but is still "considered" a dj...

phatsacz Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I started out playing drums in jr and sr high but graduated as a dj got tired of it and for my love of melodies I became a indie producer I think sometimes dj's want to do more than spin records they want to create that's why you see so many remixers that are dj's.Some of them use the same gear to produce a track that a keyboardist would use plus it's kool to see what pianos and synths those guy's have vintage or new.

Dave Horne Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Is this an oldies or a moldies remake? The original post must have been on page 45.

Dave Horne Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Was it George Bernard Shaw who said ... 'those who can, do; those who can't, DJ; and those who can't DJ, become producers'? This should start quite a heated discussion. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message.

Gus Lozada Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Unfortunately, every single keyboard player making electronic/dance music will be mistakenly called "DJ". That does not matter if you make your music by yourself instead of only turning tables. What concerns me is a "DJ" which does not know anything about playing music and thinks he's a musician Anyway, we all use technology and that's KEYBOARD's main approach: making music with technology. I have NOT seen adds of DENON or any specific DJ equipment. Many DJ's use REASON, LIVE, OXY8's... and that does not make M-AUDIO a DJ company ... so, let's keep making music with these fantastic toys.

If you cannot tell the difference between good and bad, you are not going to succeed in the field. So, it follows naturally, that they had to put it in Keyboard rather than Guitar Player.
