Elektron Musical Instruments

Hey all,

Just a little self-promotion.  

Using a machinedrum for most of the electronic drums, my group ubzorb 
(ubzorb.com) just had our first album mastered yesterday by Ken Lee 
in Oakland.  A release should be out shortly.

Also, I use machinedrum beats with another band I play with, hot 
veluer (soundclick.com/hotveluer), but I record the loops and use 
them with the new version of Live.  I just can't bring myself to take 
a $1200 machinedrum out to clubs...

Once the money starts to roll in (ha!), I'll be looking at a 
monomachine...

Some really nice d&b on the list lately - thanks for the inspiration.

Yeah... but you'll bring a $2000 laptop instead? ;)

lol.. that's what i was thinking, but really i've thought about  
getting a low-spec laptop should i ever go back into the clubs again  
(about 99% unlikely).  Under Windows (and perhaps the new intel  
Macs??) Live is extremely forgiving as far as processor use goes.   
Unfortunately the only laptop I have right now is this Powerbook and  
you can bet it's not going anywhere near anywhere i've ever been on  
some saturday nights.  I'll never forget the morning of revelation  
when i had volunteered to take home some sub cabinets in my explorer  
the night before, but didn't do the smart thing and immediately  
remove them as far as possible from my vehicle upon arriving home.    
talk about the definition of "stank."

Yeah, it does seem kinda strange, but I value my machinedrum more than my 
laptop :) I guess my reasoning is that I can't do a show without a laptop, 
but I can sample my md and use it - why bring more gear than you have to, 
especially when you've got a big setup.  Luckily, we're usually on a stage, 
so the laptop is pretty safe.  It did survive shows at Burningman a few 
years back.

I run windows with live and reason (and sometimes I record the sessions with 
Soundforge, all at the same time.  Never had a problem.
