I'm forwarding this for a friend (Mike Metlay) to appropriate mailing lists and forums where people might find this of interest. I know that I'll be in the chat room while listening to the broadcast. "See" you there! | Quote: | Darrell Burgan, whose Blue Water Drift Dive show graces the internet airwaves every Saturday night on http://www.stillstream.com , recently sent out this very nice note to folks, which I'd like to pass on a bit farther: | Quote: | Hello friends,
Just a quick note to make sure you're aware of a big live event coming up this Saturday, June 30, on StillStream.com. MindSpiral, a fantastic electronic space music project led by Mike Metlay, will be performing live sometime during the Blue Water Drift Dive program that evening, in mindSpiral's debut net concert! If you're not familiar with mindSpiral, you can learn more here:
http://www.mindspiral.com
This promises to be a fantastic live event, and one well worth setting aside some time to listen. For Blue Water Drift Dive show times in your time zone, simply visit our Schedule page and select the location nearest you:

Hope to see you there!!
Cheers,

I'd like to add that the instrumentation for the show is looking very interesting. I may be using one keyboard for the occasional note sequence, but mostly I'll be playing ambient strings (my baritone 5-string Schecter A-5X in its custom tuning) with nonlooped electronics and KAOSS Pad, while Darwin will be using a very unusual new performance control system based around, of all things, the Nintendo Wii! You can read about Darwin's design philosophy at

In rehearsals, I was blown away by how wonderfully the Wii system worked; I actually scrapped most of my plans for the show and started over from scratch to accommodate the sort of tuneage that emerged from the system, and the results are beautiful, while completely different from anything mindSpiral has done before (again!). In keeping with StillStream's ambient aims, this is a much more drifty and meditative soundstructure than the occasionally beat-heavy and melodic or noisy/raucous stuff that has characterized the planetarium shows of the first three incarnations of mindSpiral; it's been fun and worthwhile, and I'm really hoping our audiences will enjoy it as much as we will.
We hope to see you on the StillStream chatroom for the show, and that you enjoy the music. We're not precisely sure when we'll go on, but the show starts at 2300 EDT/2200 CDT/2100 MDT/2000 PDT on Saturday night, and you'll get to hear music by a lot of great and relatively little-known electronic artists when we're not playing.
