Music From Chez Mosc

Last week didn't work out too well so we didn't post that set. The problem was Bill and I weren't able to communicate via a back channel. There was a "stuck note" that ran for about 50 minutes. Each of us thought it was coming from the other side. When we are in the same room there's no problem signaling one another. So for tonight's set we set up a back channel video link using our Apple devices using Facetime. It worked great until in the middle of our set my iPhone's battery died and we lost the link. We recovered pretty well though, I think.

Here is our set from tonight. People who were listening live to the set said that Bill wasn't coming through. Bill and I were hearing both parts so we weren't aware of that. It's no doubt my fault and for that I apologize. We need to do sound checks everytime.

Asside for the back channel going out, this set was a lot of fun to play for both of us. We hope you enjoy it.

After listening to the most recent episode of Chez Mosc, I listened to the first one posted
https://electro-music.com/forum/post-287977.html#287977
back on page 2 of this thread. Despite the different tools used, I detect a similarity in style. What do you think?

More thoughts on playing with long delays between locations:

Since my PC is the one being used to upload the live stream I', the one that hears what is actually streaming. Still, I have some unique challenges with the delays. I'm very much aware the what I hear from Bill is delayed, and I know that I won't hear his reaction until some time afterwards. Thus, I'm constantly trying to anticipate what he'll play next so I can play something that will coexist with that. So I'm playing with what I hear from him and what I imagine he's playing.

Because we have been playing together for many years, it's not that difficult. I know what chord progressions he naturally leans to, and I have a good feel for how he'll finish up a riff. (Our riffs are relatively long, BTW.)

Why write all this: because I hope in these times of isolation we can inspire others to attempt these remote musical experiences.

Thanks for the offer. Just join in on the regular chat. We can only monitor one.

Another year and another Equinox. It's something we can all celibrate; it's even more global and inclusive than New Year's Eve. There were not as many participants on this year's streaming concert, but the quality was very high. (I reserve judgement on our own contribution).

Speaking of which, here is Twyndyllyngs' set for the Equinox Concert. Only one edit, but there could have been two. The one edit was a loud non-musical squwak from one of my synths. The duration was about 5 seconds. If you listen you'll thank me for it.

At one point in the concert the audience on the chat said that my volume was too low. I wasn't watching the chat so Bill sorta sang "Louder". I left that in.

Here's the Twyndyllyngs, Bill Fox and Howard Moscovitz, from tonight's Chez Mosc program. This time I think there were no apparent technical problems during the program. This recording is exactly what was broadcast. There was a little bit of bleed through coming through our Apple Facetime back channel which I didn't hear but Bill did. Next time this won't happen.

This set reminds me of Richard Wagner's music, probably because this week I sat through a three movie set (almost 7 hours long) on Wagner's life staring Richard Burton. Wagner was a shit head proto nazi and I don't want to identify with him in any way, but his music did foreshadow some ambient stuff people like us play from time to time. Wagner also forshadowed and in no small way was responsible for German nationalizm, WW II and the Holocaust.

To paraphrase John Lenon, Richard Wagner ain't got nothing on this... Wink

Anyway, we like this set and we hope you enjoy it too.

Using Chrome on my iMac, all pages of electro-music come up https but in red, with strike out letters and a warning that this site is not provate blah, blah, blah...

So I used Firefox and had no such issue. What a PITA! Do NOT upgrade Chrome until they fix this. electro-music is only the most used site that is experiencing this problem for me. There are a few others.

We no return you to our regularly schduled program!

Once again, I applied some light mastering. Please let me know how it sounds compared to the original.

I use OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan because Apple no longer supports my early 2009 iMac. Perhaps it's my ISP? I am also getting similarly strange behavior using Safari and Firefox. I'm still scratching my head because this was happening last Thursday at WDIY on the iMac in the on-air studio. But is was artist websites that weren't "behaving."

And it looks like nothing can be done for it on the server side, not seeing it at least.

Tonights Twyndyllyngs concert went very well it seemed from my perspective, but the live stream had some technical issues, which have now been addressed. The third time's a charm Laughing

My sincere apology to those people who tune in to listen to the live stream, but nobody complained

The attached file doesn't have these problems.

Last night, October 23, 2021, we did another Chez Mosc program with Twyndyllyngs, Bill Fox and myself. There were some of the usual setup problems at the beginning but thanks to the listeners on the chat room we were able to get things sorted out.

I made a few edits to this recordings to cover a dropout or two and a few clicks. This one turned out quite well. We hope you enjoy it. Also added to this post is a little bonus trick Bill and I did at the end.

Here's tonight's Twyndyllyngs set on Chez Mosc. Technically things went great. As they say, "The fifteenth time's a charm". Laughing

Even though we as miles and miles apart, it's still live music. I try to post these performances with as little editing as possible and tonight there are no edits at all. I heard lots of clicks and dropouts when we were playing, but the recording seems pretty clean. Makes me wonder if focusing my attention on these defects makes me hear them even when the aren't there. Rolling Eyes

At times this is a bit droney, but there are some really nice sections in there.

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening

That was a great set .. just want to download it for a relisten .. but 1.26MB seems a bit too short (one and a half minute)

edit : looks like it is the bunus from the previous post?

edit2: nope - it differs - but both are 1:23

Twyndyllyngs hasn't played for about one month because I was traveling and along the way my iPad got crushed. I ordered another one and then had to load all my apps and synth presets. I just got stuff "working" yesterday. An iPad is is the hub of my instruments and the streaming and recording is done on a big Windows machine.

Anyhow, we got our set on the air but I forgot to push the record button in all the excitement. I did catch the final 27 minutes which we present here for your enjoyment.

Many thanks to Blue Hell for keeping things running while I was away travelling, and at all other times too.
