June Solstice 2015 Live Streaming Event

Cynosure · Last edited by Cynosure on Mon Jun 22, 2015 4:03 pm; edited 2 times in total

I am posting this a bit early and letting forum members sign up for a while before I promote off site. I'm still learning as I go with this. I will upload the promo poster before promoting offsite.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!: Please do not sign up unless you are available to perform. If something changes, then please let us know in this thread as soon as possible. Booking a spot takes that timing away from other performers. It also leaves us scrambling to fill the empty spot at the last minute.

The event will be on electro-music radio on Saturday June 20, 2015. It will start at 15:00 GMT and end at 00:00 GMT. We can extend the timing a bit if we have enough people sign up, but lets try to start off in that range since it will maximize the number of listeners.

Stream ops please respond if you able to help switch and what time range you are available.

As before, if you are interested in performing, please copy/paste this Sign-Up template and post in this thread:

1. Preferred Start Time (Please use GMT/Military Time):
2. Set Length (30 or 60 minutes):
3. Artist Name (For displaying on the poster):
4. Chat Name (if different from artist/forum name):
5. Location (City/State/Country - Optional):
6. Description (Style/Genre/Equipment, etc. - Optional):
7. Website Address:

For reference, this clock should be useful:

First Time Streamers Please Read:

Please review the Electro Music Copyright Policy

Please note: "Preferred Start Time". We will do the best that we can to accommodate people to their requested times. However, please be flexible because this event will have European and American musicians in many different time zones. Time slots will be on a semi-"first come-first served" basis. Furthermore, please post your time in GMT. The handy clock should make it simple. However, we do use military/24 hour time. It will undoubtedly be an international event and GMT is the only way to coordinate such events.

As in the past, the chat room will serve as an invaluable communication tool for set up, streaming, and connecting to those listening....and it's just a lot of fun! I suggest participants get familiar with it in advance, if you aren't already.

If you want a recording of your set, it would be prudent to record your own set, rather than depend on others. Accidents and mistakes happen...especially in this format. There are many ways to record your set, either thru the stream app or record your stream from your mixer on the signal path to the computer.

Performers MUST stream at 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz , stereo .

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone test their connections before we start streaming. At least 24 hours before or sooner. Sorry, but musicians WILL NOT be allowed to stream if you do not test 24 hours before hand. Not only does it delay the schedule, but causes unneeded stress on performer, server operator, and audience during performance time.

Hi Eric. I am glad that you are playing again for this event. I will make a rough schedule this weekend. I am kind of busy right now with getting things ready to move. I will likely be performing my set with little to no practice ahead of time. I probably won't even have most of my studio set up by then.

Should be easy with filling in a gap... it's going to go from 3am to lunchtime for me. As late as possible would be good, but I'm going to be busy from 8am (8pm GMT) onwards.

Bloody awful random modular noodling, perhaps with a generic drum machine too.

Cyno, if you wind up short of performers, I'll have a go, but don't expect anything particularly interesting from me Smile

I'd like to be lowest priority, so if anyone else can have a go, put them ahead of me.

darkvortex · Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2015 8:30 pm Post subject:

I'm really sorry guys. I'm afraid I'm going to have to back out. Work has gotten crazy busy and I'm not going to have time / energy to put together a set Sad

Will have to plan better for the next event.

kkissinger · Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2015 4:58 am Post subject:

Due to a scheduling conflict, I will be unable to perform on Saturday.

All the best to one and all -- hopefully I will be able to participate in the future. Thank you for the opportunity.

audiodef · Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2015 2:35 pm Post subject:

I regret to say that I will not be participating. My slot is now available.

I will be moving this summer, and this week and weekend I will need to spend a lot of time at the new house preparing for a renovation. Things have to move along as quickly as possible.

I will also not even be able to tune in as the 'net isn't plugged in at the new place. So, I will be sad, but I'll catch up later.

PHOBoS · Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2015 4:15 am Post subject:

I updated the schedule with signups and cancellations, closed the gaps and added portnumbers.
I put howard in for 1 hour since the saturday Twyndyllyngs sets always are that length so I hope that's possible. Very Happy

Epicyclus tested his stream - I'll put a star in the previous post.

thanks

Thanks for picking up the slack again Phobos. I was going to get to this today, but you beat me to it.

I am all moved into the new place, but nothing is set up yet. I think that I will be literally performing on unpack boxes. It will be interesting.
