LD2: Auddities

Here is Live and Direct episode #2, "Auddities" in a slightly edited podcast (i added two songs; think of it as the Deluxe Remastered Podcast Edition). It weighs in at 62.5MB and clocks in at 1:08:15. (I ran over due to excess blabbing... good thing the hosts of the show after mine couldn't make it :)

"Auddities" = "audio" + "oddities". These run the gamut from odd sounds to unusual production techniques to strange content. I divided the show up into the following sections, each followed by the approximate starting time (should you wish to skip to a particular section):

1. Introduction, 0:00:00
   
2. Algorithmic music, 0:00:42
   
3. MIDI music, 0:04:52
   
4. Tracked music, 0:10:20
   
5. Sample-heavy music, 0:19:35
   (note for upstate NY peeps: Rochester/Vertex shoutout @0:33:30)
   
6. Digitally produced music, 0:34:00
   
7. Numbers stations (The Conet Project PDF; music: disc 1, disc 2, disc 3, disc 4), 0:42:40
   
8. Natural phenomena (Electric Enigma PDF; music: disc 1, disc 2), 0:50:10

Again, thanks for listening. Your feedback is always welcome.

was "Auddities", now "Technical Difficulties"

Live and Direct #2 ("Auddities") did not quite go off without a hitch. LD2 in fact, did not go off at all, unless you want to count the first 5 minutes or so of introduction. The short story? Possibly a bad mixer, possibly user error and misconfiguration. It seemed to be an intermittent problem, which is always annoying as hell to diagnose. I know how to make sure it works now, and I'll give it another try next wednesday at 6. My apologies to anyone listening tonight.
