Hip-hop at Ableton User Group
Tonight, I went to the New York City Ableton User Group. We’re lucky to have an Ableton office in NYC, so we regularly have their employees also there. The featured performers tonight were Baba Israel, Yako and Core Rhythm.
It was two hours of great music w/ beatboxing, hip-hop beats and freestyling. After a performance, they would answer questions and share how they use Ableton Live for both production and live performance. Stellar.
I’ve been fooling around with Live for two years now; first with applying effect to my live DJ sets, then creating the remixes used for the choreographed dance in my last show 4 Seasons; and now creating original beats, music, and noise. This past Sunday 9 Sept, I was at Share.DJ and was fooling around producing live noise in a collaborative environment. Part of the time I was playing alongside a cello and a thumb piano thingy. You can hear a clip of my portion of the racket in the player here or over in the navigation column to the side.
