the beginning of a beautiful friendship (monome pages jam)

New tune and first time jammed with my recently acquired monome 40h (see http://monome.org/series ). This live jam uses Ableton Live and the monome pages patch.

All loops and samples created and recorded into Ableton Live.

This tune can be played and downloaded from my soundcloud page:

WOW....that is amazing...I love this! Lol add this to the list of reasons I like technology and its many advances ...did you record any of the sound/ melody pieces or is it pure computer generation? Im curious is all :D So awesome~

[modulogeek]

@xxmatsukikurosuxx i recorded/played the loops myself, then just triggered them here in this video. thanks man!

is this all through the computer?

[modulogeek]

@elizacclark1 yep!

Some posters have been telling modulogeek to learn to play a real instrument. To those of you who do not know him personally, may I just say that he plays mean guitar, bass (both electric and upright), drums, and keyboard/piano. So, let us not be hasty in judging these types of videos, especially if we weren't privy to what went on behind the scenes. Just a friendly reminder we could all use. :)

Any poster who says that Modulogeek needs to play a real instrument is obviously a buffoon. Machine or not, it takes real musical talent to come up with the progressions and melodies in a song like this

@ddtreez If you want a low-cost Monome then build an Arduinome. They are not hard to make, parts are about 200 dollars in total or less depending on the material of the case; if any at all, and all instructions are on monome dot org. I decided to just buy one to support the original builder and because they are built with very high quality materials and just look nice. :P

52 people are stupid. If you think this does not require strong musicianship, you are mistaken. Mozart was not able to play every instrument, but he managed to write music for each instrument

Really nice dude. Not only does this take musical talent, but it takes computer programming and producing talent as well.
