This software is called Ableton. I expect it will be a bit too complex for 7 or 8 year olds lol. But when i first started off, i used something called dance e-jay, it’s probably that what they are using. i got into it at about 15 and ended up doing a college course on music technology…As i’ve got older i’ve learned more about the technical side of it. music theory (what notes and chords go well together), and how to fine tune everything so it sounds all profesional etc…Well nowadays the enjoyment of it only really comes when the track is completed, the creative process consists of hours and hours of trial and error and countless undoing and redoing of things to try and get everything sounding the way i want it to, so it can be bloody torture at times too. Sometimes i wish i could go back to being younger so i didn’t have to worry about frequencies clashing and distortion and phasing and all this other crap that makes ur track sound like poop. i guess my advice would be to any young kid who wants to start making music would be to have patience and commitment cos the more time you spend fiddling about finding out what works and what doesn’t, the better your tracks will be.

Been thinking of dances in response to Rusty’s long-ago challenge..

so…this isn’t the best dance, but….it’s very romantic..

the tune is Moon River…the film, Angels in America..

the guy is feverishly ill, and his long-dead ancestors have come to taunt and calm him..

then the lover who ditched him reappears in fantasy, walking down steps to dance to Moon River with him..the music starts just after 1.40

A nice post, scep.

Angels in America was something of a must see event all those years ago. I’ve still got the videos of the series from when I copied it from Sky. I’m guessing I’m one of the few people remaining that still have a video player, and I can hear the hoots of derision from the Ipad generation, but I care not for your Tivos and uber hi-tec visual technology that can intravaneously drip the latest blockbuster directly onto your eyeballs.

Truth be told, although it was a very weighty theme with a memorable cast, I found it a bit too didactic – and Pacino wasn’t much cop. Don’t remember this scene, though. And anything with Top Hat by Fred Astaire, a personal fave of mine, is a good thing. Not to mention Moon River, for reasons my chosen nom de plume should explain.

I recently discovered a very good Danish series about the AIDS epidemic called Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar (never dry tears without wearing gloves). It’s based on a book that I haven’t read, but I don’t think i’ve seen anything as good. Hollow at me if your interested and i’ll point you in the right direction.

Anyway, I digress, back to things of a terpsichorean nature. I see your romantic dance, applaud appreciatively and raise you Denis Lavant. No one moves like him, well maybe a young Jackie Chan.

He’s imbued with the spirit of Chaplin and Bolshoi greats of yore. You’ll probably recognise him from Stella Artois adverts, and if you haven’t seen les amants du pont neuf, you’re in for a visual treat.

Love this too:

and the following too. it’s a bit graphic, watch with caution. Inspired casting.
