This is what Spaceships sound like..
Greetings Steemit!
Last night I was visited by two long time friends, who I hadn't seen in several months. Both individuals happen to be musical souls, whom I've known as both 'DJs' as well as just general 'Music Creators' for the better part of 15+ years - so it was to be expected that after some obligatory 'catch up' conversation and a trip to local ale shop, it was time to break out the live pa machines.
Equipment operated:
- Teenage Engineering pocket operator PO-12 "rhythm"
- Teenage Engineering pocket operator PO-16 "factory"
- Animoog on Ipad
- Arpeggionome on Ipad
- Native Instruments Maschine MK2 using the 'Neon Drive' Expansion Pack
Soooo... Essentially - the @SteemitTalk Podcast table was overrun with portable jam boxes & digital synths - which were all connected together & monitored via the Mixers & Headphone splitter typically used every weekend for STP.
Final Setup looked like this (no audio)
My entire life - Whether its been while singing, playing in a band, or DJing / playing a digital live pa setup like last night - I've ALWAYS enjoyed these activities so much more with other people participating. I've actually been working on a new DJ mix for the past few months with Steemit in mind - and had as much fun last night in the hour or so we jammed vs the entire 2 month process of jamming solo while creating that aforementioned new mix.
Point of Observation - I need MORE of THIS in my life.
Figured I'd take a small 2 min clip of the 45+ min recording, and share it. Part of this post is honestly just me waking up this morning with a wicked music hangover, and part of this post is to bring Steemit to the attention of my two friends who participated.
In my opinion: both individuals are applicable creative candidates for addition to this community (which can be confirmed by @winstonwolfe & @sykochica, as they know both Matt & Casey irl) - and if this post receives any reward, I can then show them both and say "Seeeeeeeeee what I'm talk'n about, Bros!?!?!?" hoping to spark the fire.
Any who - here's a decent 'build to break' from last night. One friend was creating the drum beat & bass line using a pair of Pocket Operators, my other friend was working melody synths off an ipad using Animoog & Arpeggionome (any synth sound you hear repeated regularly in the song structure), and I was just soloing off my 16 pad NI Maschine MK2 (Somewhat like a Keyboard or Guitar solo during a song).
Nothing pre-planned - just organic musical adventures. It was an absolute blast!
Hope you enjoy the bleepy bloopy Spaceship sounds.
Cheers Steemit!

And your picture is pretty close to what the command module for the Apollo Space Missions looked like.
Passes @winstonwolfe my beer - I think I can probably mix on that!
very interesting tnx for sharing 😄
Live jams are always my favourites, by far! This seems to have been a really cool session form what I can hear in this little excerpt. Thanks for sharing, it is appreciated on this end. Namaste :)
Hey cool beat! I really enjoyed it.
Spaceships seem to sound like my childhood..
I most certainly feel 'child-like' when playing with the spaceship sounds.
It sounds good'n'groovy.
