Yeah that TV appearance was pretty short... But maybe your first on in Pittsburgh? |

Cheers. I definitely want to get in shape to do another one where I can qualify for Boston (3h10m59s) some time this year. I think it is doable for me.
I forgot to mention: This was a comeback version of the marathon after it wasn't held for 6 years because of no $$$. It was pretty intense. They had to cap the registration at 10,500 and change the beginning of the course to prevent danger. Good impression all around. |

Heh. Your pace of about 9:40 a mile if I did the math right, is about what I averaged on my best days when I was running regularly. And that was only for like 5-8 miles at a time. Anyway, good show and here's hoping for less costume and more training next time. :) |

Jesus, I had trouble making it through a mile in 15 minutes for high school gym class, never mind 26-something in under 4.25 hours while wearing a giant plastic suit and mask.
nice work |

guys,
can you send me the audio file of your performance? Apparently, when we were rushing around redoing all the audio cables we removed the audio input to the video recording deck and thus have a weekend full of silent tapes, including yours. Woops.
Thanks,
Jon Rubin

I strum when it's necessary, of course, but it's much less precise. There are some songs with note rushes (rt2i comes to mind) that need it in T7EShero. I can't even imagine an electric toothbrush poking fast enough. I don't remember if any of the songs I played at Belvedere's were strummy.
Also, there are achievements ("medals") for playing a song with all poking or all plucking in T7EShero, so don't you want extra credit??
Hard to answer the second question. It's usually not the case that I shove into a grid unless I am setting myself to some challenge (Theme from Goog). I usually let the song unfold in a linear way and then adjust the time signature to meet its natural periodicity. But I wouldn't say that I "think up riffs" in that I hum them or something and then put them to piano roll; I really compose in the editor, thinking about the next few notes of the sequence and playing the bits as it goes. In the specific case of Many Happy Returns it was a brush its hair approach for sure. The beginning two bars in "51/16 time" were placed sort of stream-of-consciousnessly, then I made the same tune more rock 'n' roll for the later 42/16 part. (And again, these aren't really measures of 42 beats, it's really some amalgam of shorter measures with changing signatures, sometimes different for different parts, but the periodicity is 42 beats.) |

Well, if you just poke, you can't do alt-strumming. I guess there's not much tremolo picking in chiptune music, though, so it's not a big loss.
Forgive me if you've talked about this in older posts, but when you write stuff like Many Happy Returns, do you actually think up riffs in 40/16 time in the first place or do you decide the meter first and then shove stuff into it? The former would be pretty impressive. |

Damn, that sounds great! I want one! |

Perhaps a future direction in which to take the Laser Suspension Womb:

I am a college student at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. I dropped something in the bathroom and when I went down to pick it up--- Oh, suprise! There were mushrooms growing from the edge of the toilet. There are yellow and "pig-skin" like. Does anyone know what KIND of mushrooms they are? Should we tell someone or just let them grow? |
| |
You mean flameproof or you mean easy to ignite? |
| |
maybe a smoke machine in an inflammable backpack would enhance the portable ambiance of the laser suspension womb... |

Beauteous.
This is certainly the best version of "live electronic music" I have ever seen... |
