I saw this online and was amazed by this crazy instrument.

Yaybahar is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument designed by Gorkem Sen. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in an unique listening experience with an hypnotic surround sound.

What you hear in this performance is captured in realtime without any additional effects and with no post audio processing.

Taking a break for a while

Time for a break I’m taking a break from the podcasts for a while. There’s a lot of stuff going on here at Podcasting Towers and I need time to focus on non-podcasting things.

Back soon, OK?

Mevio finally goes dark

It was on January 2012 that the warning bell started sounding that all was not well at Mevio. Yesterday I got a final email telling me that Mevio.com was finally shutting down on the 16th April. Hardly a surprise. What took them so long?

In a week when the BBC was reminiscing about the first 10 years of podcasting, including interviews with Adam Curry, it seems rather ironic this is the week his creation is about to close.

Mevio divided the idealists and rewarded a few. It had high hopes and desperate lows.  It was inspiring and then it was disappointing. At least it tried to be different, and I enjoyed being part of the team for a while.

How To Be A Podcaster

It’s been a long time since I tuned into a really NEW podcast. Some podcasters have found that setting up a podcast can be stressful, and requires time and money. Well hopefully with a little advice you may want to start your own. When I started in January 2006 I thought I might be able to keep it up for a few months. Well that was over 7 years and there’s no stopping me yet!

Of course, my speciality is music, but there are hundreds of different podcasts out there, that cover various topics including education, business, sports, entertainment, as well as music. Consider poker, for example. You may be a huge poker fan and you usually spend a lot of time researching online for the latest news and updates on your favorite players. To save you some time, you can now subscribe to poker-related podcast such as The Poker Show with Jesse May.

The Poker ShowThis live show is sponsored by partypoker and features discussions, debates, and interviews with some of the best online poker players today including Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth. Listening to some tips and advice from the pros can help you improve your game. Of course, it is also important to play all the time so you can learn new strategies and practice what you have learned. Luckily most of the internet poker providers nowadays offer non-stop poker action so you can play anytime you want.

 

If you are only interested in music, then subscribing to leading music podcast such as The Hype Machine Radio Podcast, as well as my own podcasts: PC Podcast, The Dub Zone, The Dub Step Zone and The Hip Hop Zone can keep you updated with the latest songs and albums.

My Podcasts

But what if you want to take the next level and become a podcaster? Then, let me give you some tips on how you set up your own podcast for free:

Produce Your Podcast
Before you open an account at a free podcast hosting site like PodOmatic and Archive.org, start producing your content, since that usually takes a lot of time. Choose what topic to talk about or record the music that you are planning to share to your listeners. You can use any sound recording software like GarageBand and Audacity to create a podcast. Make sure to include intro and closing remarks in each podcast.Above all be passionate! Don’t worry about mistakes and mispronunciation. People like podcasts and podcasters because they are real, not over-rehearsed and sickly smooth.

Make a Podcast Account
After producing several audio contents, you can now look for the perfect podcast hosting site. It is best to start with a free account and there are now many choices online including Podbean, which is user-friendly as well.

Podbean

There are three easy steps to podcasting with Podbean: record, publish, and share (via Facebook, Twitter, or iTunes). One of the most popular podcast hosting sites nowadays is Soundcloud, which you can also use for free, but there are limitations to your usage.

Post Show on iTunes
Since not all podcasting hosts have an option where you can share your shows via iTunes then you have to do it manually. Just go to iTunes Store then click on podcast where you will see a menu column in the top right-hand corner. Click “submit a podcast” then you can now share the URL of your podcast feed. Now you are officially a podcaster. The rest is history: history of your own chosing!

Whatever you do, please drop me an email and tell me about your new podcast!

The YouTube Zone

One of the strong recommendations from The Great Escape conference sessions last week was that music podcasts should be uploaded to YouTube, because it’s the second biggest search engine, after Google.  So I’m experimenting with a couple of episodes of DSZ, TDZ and H2Z.  Check them out and please tell me what you think!

Nordic Giants On The March

Checkout this video from Bighton-based duo, Nordic Giants. I saw them at The Great Escape Festival and I want to see them again soon.  The video tells a bit of the band’s story, but you really need to see them live to fully appreciate the concept.

SOPA

I’m not American, but the UK government does have the nasty habit of repeating the same mistakes as the US.  Blocking sites on the internet is against freedom. It’s the sort of thing that “repressive” regimes do.

Remember the Arab spring, when it was “oppressive” to shut down the mobile phone networks, when protesters vented their rage in Egypt? Remember the British MPs who advocated the Blackberry messaging network should be shut down during the UK riots in August?Do they know what duplicity means?

Freedom of speech is a given requirement of democracy. Shutting down access to sites is just another form of Orwellian doublethink. If you can, do something. Go to https://americancensorship.org and tell them to stop.

Rolling.fm – In Dub We Trust!

One of my listeners contacted me yesterday to tell me of a new website he thought I might be interested in: rolling.fm.  It’s a virtual party based in which you can listen to DJs, become a DJ yourself or share the decks with your friends.

Having listened to a few people DJ in Second Life I was quite interested, but it’s the collaborative aspect that makes this much cooler, plus there’s no need to use a costly server (such as shoutcast or the like) as all the tracks are uploaded in advance and played from the site directly.

There’s also a chat room, the opportunity to pimp your avatar and the ability to send someone a virtual drink. Needless to say I think this is very cool.

So, why not head down to the “In Dub We Trust” room (setup by RussDaFari, my listener, based on the East Coast of the US) and checkout our dubs, join in and enjoy the party.  You’ll find me hiding under the DJ pseudonym “Audacious P Dubdaddy“

Delhi 2 Dubland EP

I downloaded this curious mix of Irish, Bhangra & Reggae beats from bandcamp yesterday, thanks to a recommendation from Dubmatix. It’s awesome, and for £3 (that’s CAD$5, US$4.75 or EUR 3.56) it’s a steal!

The European Podcast Awards have just opened for nominations and voting for 2011.

Review of Netaudio London Conference 2011

I attended Netaudio London Conference on Sunday 15th May with my good friend, netlabel owner and musician Vince Millet, from Secret Archives of the Vatican. Vince has written his own blog post on the conference, which I urge you to read, but here are my own observations and musings.

This was my first time at at Netaudio conference, but have attended excellent unconferences, barcamps and panel discussions before, so was looking forward with an open mind, and open ears, to a fascinating discussion. If I was to try and explain my feelings in the language used in the conference it would go something like this….. (ahem)….

“The didactic invective of the panel, produced, in me, a strong sense of anomie. Perhaps I was not attuned to the Marxist zeitgeist, but the the balance between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft were clearly at odds with my sub-cultural expectations, leading me to engage in a degree of Schadenfreude.”

In short I didn’t really understand what the panel were talking about, because I don’t speak bollocks.

The day was split into three panels:

  1. Politics, Protest and Sound
  2. Creativity and Collaboration in the Internet Era
  3. Digital Futures and Analogue Survivals

In my view there was only two high-points. In the second panel the high point was Tamara Barnett-Herrin, who explained how she turned her musical “writers block” into a collaborative project, “Calendar Songs”, in which she released one song per month, and then worked with remixers to produce and perform an album in 2008.

In the first panel the high point was Matthew Herbert (keynote) presenting his view of 17 “crises” that the music industry is currently facing, such as technique (for example the overuse of autotune), texture, distribution, listening, philosophy, studios, etc. However the underlying narrative was clearly a Marxist/anti-capitalist agenda, the strength of which I have not heard since I studied sociology in the 1980s, and I thought have died out in the post-Blair era. I should have know better. I was in Camden after all.

As for the other speakers? Well two clearly did not feel they could comfortably “converse” and therefore read their monotonous “essays” verbatim, whilst another spent 30 minutes talking about network hi-fi devices in a presentation that should have take 5 minutes (maximum) to deliver.

Two other presentations talked about the UK Uncut program of actvities and one was from an artist showing her works from as far back as 1965 and had absolutely no relevance to the net or audio.

But it was the underlying Marxist bullshit that got me most annoyed about this event. The blame for all the woes for the music industry was placed firmly at the feet of capitalism, and the cure was anti-capitalism.

Music and musicians have existed long before capitalism was invented, and it’s even easier today to engage in non-capitaist (not anti-capitalist) ventures than it ever has been. Netlabels, where the musician owns the labour and the means of production, are in the ascendance. This is the future of netaudio.

To the organizers of this even I say: 4/10 Must try harder!

Bye Bye Myspace

Time to shut down my myspace accounts.  As recent articles have shown I’m not alone in thinking myspace is a deadspace, so time to cleanup the mess. I can’t even remember the last time I logged into one of the accounts, but my last status was sometime in 2007, so that says it all.  Nice kick in the eye for Rupert Murdoch!

Now writing for Netlabelism.com

We also listen and present Non-Creative-Commons tunes; as long as the music is free to people! It’s about music, nothing less, nothing more. We basically review Electronica and its various genres , but we are also open to artists producing non-electronical and unusual stuff.

People Get Ready – for BDR Dancefloor –

I’m eagerly awaiting the first release from new record label BDR Dancefloor.  BDR Dancefloor is a new sister label to Broken Drum Records.and will be releasing some excellent trance, house and breakbeat tunes in the first half of 2011.

Twitterleaks?

I (and I suspect you, dear reader) will be keeping an eye on twitter over the next few days regarding the claim that the US government has subpoenaed the social networking site for personal details of people connected to Wikileaks.  Quite honestly, if they hand over the data to the US authorities, then that’s the end of the social media “experiment”.

I’m sick of hearing that it’s “good” to hear of the tyrrany in places like Iran and Korea via twitter.  Well it works both ways Mr President!  You don’t need to know all about me.  All you need to know is I support  Wikileaks. Remember – I know where you live

Here’s the BBC report… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12141530. Make up your own mind.

42 Pints?

National Blood Service - Do Something Amazing - Give Blood

I’ve just given my 42nd blood donation. That’s a lot more than an armful and definitely something to reflect on amongst the meanings of life.  It took 15 minutes of my time and I had a pre-booked appointment, so didn’t waste any time queuing or messing about – just in, out and bish-bash-bosh…. and I may have saved someone’s life.

I can’t say I like the whole process much, and I try never to pay too much attention to what is actually happening, but I fugure what’s 15 minutes of my time when there are people that could actully be saved from dying as a result. It’s not much to ask is it?

Go on…. be amazing like me.

ps. They also have some very nice coffe and biscuits afterwards. What are you waiting for?

Back to work blues….

The office is resounding with deep sighs and wistful looks into the distance as me and my colleagues return to work today.  Returning after a summer vacation is usually a personal experience as everyone tends to take different days off at different times, but the Christmas/New Year vacation always seems to be a group illness.  It’s still dark when you get up, dark again before you go home, it’s tool cold and those damn problems at work have not gone away.

Will it be gone tomorrow? I bloody hope so.

p.s. Note to Self:  Go to Travel Agents at the weekend and think about booking next vacation!

ReggaeDubWise down again!

It looks like the new owner of ReggaeDubWise has taken the site down. The comment on the facebook site (not managed by the current owner) says:

It appears that the new site owner bailed on reggaedubwise.com He will not answer any of my emails and it appears they suspended the site. I have all the software and a new domain name. I do not want this new project to be reggae only but have many other genres similare to reverbnation.com.

Although there are a lot of additional great netlabels out there serving the dub community, RDW has always been a great  home for dub music and the source of great dub for The Dub Zone and The Dub Step Zone. It’s always had a rocky road, especially as the last owner has cancer, but let’s hope something good happens.

Life After 50?

I’ve reached one of those milestones today. Just like all the milestones before it: 18, 21, 30, 40…. it seems it’s arrived to fast.  So now I’m in that category you find on questionnaires… 50+. Somewhere between now and death! Eeek!   I suppose I’m also eligible for cheaper car insurance, Saga holidays, and the target audience for those health insurance policies you see advertised on daytime TV. Super!

Although I obviously have no opportunity to change the outward ageing process, I shall remain young on the inside……

  • I shall not be digging out my copy of Genesis’ 1976 album “Trick Of The Tail” and lamenting Peter Gabriel’s departure from the band, even though I remember it like it was yesterday.
  • I shall not be looking through my ticket stubs from gigs of my University years…. Echo & The Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, Stiff Little Fingers, The Cure, The Fall, U2, New Order, Orchestral Maneovers In The Dark, Cocteau Twins…. and remembering how I would pickup crappy C90 cassette bootlegs afterwards.
  • Nor shall I be digging out my photos from the 1984 “Support The Miners” gig by The Smiths at the GLC and lamenting the lack of political conviction of the yoof of today.

Instead I shall be looking forward to new musical genres that have not been invented yet – some of which will probably have the word “dub” in them – and rejoicing.  Music is even more vibrant and immediate today than it has ever been.  Don’t be over 50 in your musical tastes. Don’t grow up!

I’m an Archers Addict

I’m not a great lover of Soap Operas, especially the one on UK TV where there’s always a very gloomy plot and some terrible acting. However I’ve had a soft spot for The Archers for many years, and especially since it started being released as a podcast in 2007.  Maybe it’s something about it being a radio series, rather than on the TV. There’s always something to be said about radio being “the theater of the mind”.

The series is 60 years old today (even older than me!) and I shall be trying to catch up with some of the old storylines I’ve missed.

Some people are upset I’m ending PCP.  Don’t worry…. I’ll be back with something new sometime in 2011.  In the meantime I’m putting together 4 of the “Best of PCP” shows that you’ll never want to delete from your iPod.  I’m going to release two before Christmas and two after. Now that’s a 5 year anniversary present!

Is the witch dead yet?

Aparently the Daily Mail is unhappy about the https://www.isthatcherdeadyet.co.uk website.  In today’s article they, and some Tory MPs call the website Vulgar. Well…. that’s just tough people!  She’s a witch and there’ll be a warm welcome in hell; for her when she dies. I have plans for a celebratory podcast when she shrugs off this mortal coil….. anyone got any good recommendations for a playlist?

Goodbye to an old friend… and hello to a new one!

My old video iPod, the one that inspired me to take up Podcasting, died the other day. It somehow managed to get overheated and was literally cooked whilst I charged it on the way home in the car!  It was a sad day.

Nevertheless, and undeterred, I have purchased a new iPod Touch, which I’m just starting to get used to.  It’s gorgeous!

As my mother used to say… “as one door closes, another one opens”
