Announcements: Our next and last class is Nov. 15th. We're gonna have an optional extra session from about 1:30pm on for people who have missed lectures or who need help. This is your LAST chance to get feedback from us on your final performance/set. So please come prepared.
Dec 6th is showtime, and we need help finding a venue. Please put your feelers out there and give us some ideas. We probably don't need a super large space. The hope is we can put on a good show for our friends and fellow artists. Just email me or Al and let us know if you can help secure a location, or have any leads. This is important! Get on it.
Last class was pretty much a workshop. We had Channa lead the way with an acoustic performance that showcased another powerful aspect of Ableton: live instrumentation, recording and sampling on the fly. So you can see the possibilities here for adding novel aspects to your DJ set. That was straight ill, Channa.
Blake pointed us towards one of the coolest MIDI controllers I've ever seen - an motion capture exo-skeleton called Gypsy from the UK. At $1000 bucks an arm, it's pricey but not ridiculously so. Your imagination is the only limitation with this thing. Good lookin out, Blake.
