I would love to see more 'point of view' cameras utilized by electronic musicians and it's something I hope to be able to do at some point. I first saw this sort of thing done by Thomas Dolby a handful of years ago. He had a small camera attached to his head so that you could see exactly what he saw and it was displayed on a large projector. Mixing things like this with other nifty visuals really helps out a performance IMHO.

Like that?

Exactly. Doing this sort of thing live brings a level of intimacy to the show and fans get to feel a bit like they're up there with you. Also, gear heads get to see what you're using and that's always cool.

did you really spend $100 on getting a gameboy modded ahah

well, by 'modding' i meant readying the gameboy for actual use in general, and that constitutes buying two gameboys (one non-working for parts and a working one missing some parts) and fixing them up since i couldn't find a fully working one, a backlight, prosound mod & a cheap drill to cut the hole for the mod, and an EMS cart.

so in essence it actually took about $125 total to get everything in working order, thanks

I bought a good modded dmg from LOOMIS for way over $100. Painted, backlit, 2 extra prosound mods, buttons, adapter, probably some other stuff. Worth it for top notch stuff.

I love this thread!

I get "real music" (even at a hacker convention, which I did not expect) all the time and being called a DJ, I've been introduced by the wrong name, I've been told to "shut up and put on some _______" My own girlfriend insults the music I make, my family don't understand it, nor do my friends. that's why I lurk here, seeing so many posts of such good music makes me feel validated, even if I haven't posted a link to a damn thing I'm working on.

I've gotten the occasional "cool" and that's enough positive feedback. I'm from Alabama and make music in Nashville so cue up the blues brother's quote about both kinds of music. There's not a lot of validation here for widely popular forms of electronic music...almost none for something this niche.

I do think it's odd not understanding how this stuff gets lumped into techno, given that that's the average person's perspective of anything made with synthetic instruments or instruments attached to a screen. 'Mario at a Rave" isn't an insult. Raves are FUN as is Mario, to you music is a soul crushing search for self expression for them it's a laugh on the weekend.  I think the "unce" comments by those in the scene are way more insulting. But, I love techno, electro, breaks and house in all it's forms so maybe I'm biased.

sorry for the life story.

Bama brotha! I'm in Birmingham/Tuscaloosa. Where be your hometown? I sympathize completely with you and your story. >.<

This is a bit off-topic, but, you know how navigating a video game menu produces different noises depending on whether you're going up/down, left/right, confirming/canceling, etc? I used to make "music" with those. I wonder if I could get away with that for one selection at a show... Maybe with a looper pedal?
