Robert Henke = the guy that managed to make the biggest revolution in dance music after kraftwerk.. Personally i think that turntables ad dj tools are a thing of the past.. I started using live way back in 2002 and people laughed at me coz i played with a computer (and they still tell me that im no dj cause i play with live).. and live djs dnt interact with the crowd (but i think they are 20 years behind) coz if they see people like ean golden and moldover they will surely change their mind! :)

So true, it's amazing to watch... if you ever get a chance to see up close.

I think Robert should release Monodeck II. Not sure if it's getting the funds for this commercial release but I think end the end he could make some serious profits if he wanted. Then again he probably wants to keep it original. My hats off to him for his music and the creation of Ableton and Monodeck, smart guy he is ;-)

@ChrisRadium I think that DJing and playing electronic music live are two very different things. Robert Henke (and a lot of other great artists) are actually playing.

I dont have anything against DJs, but here we are talking about another thing.

@dearthpanda well, actually when I look back at these comments i have to say that I sound like a massive cunt. Sorry for that.

What I actually meant was that (imo) there are better and more original ways of using computer to enhance a live show. Sound sculpting and mixing live is a great skill, but it has been done so much. Take a look at what Bugge Wesseltoft does with his piano and ableton... he uses the program to enhance his creativity. Monolake is good though!

@Theseventhknight I know, I just wanted to show the gross oversimplification that saying "herp derp he just pushes buttons" implies.

[Theseventhknight]

@Triames now, though I disagree with 2manynoobs... monolake is good. Really good. The monodeck is brilliant, ableton live is brilliant... but he's not a neurosurgeon.

@2ManyNoobs Where can I find your tracks at? It's easy right, so post a url with your work and we'll critique.

@2ManyNoobs Yeah, and brain surgeons just cut stuff, I don't see the big deal there either.
