Bart (one half of Men of Mega)/31/live in Utrecht the Netherlands with a lovely girlfriend and an awesome 2.5 year old daughter.

I have a MA in Urban Planning and I just finished my PhD in social science and philosophy. I work at the municipality where Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is located (because it is not located in Amsterdam) and deal with spatial-economic and environmental effects of the airport. I deal with noise hindrance a lot and get to talk to inhabitants, other governmental actors, airlines and the airport a lot. I love my job. I have a lot of spare time as a civil servant and the salary is not something to complain about. I love to travel and spare time + money gives me opportunities to see as much of the world as I can.

I used to play bass guitar in a hardcore band, but when it comes to electronic music, I don't know jack shit. All my knowledge comes from the mighty internet.

So siked to be part of this!

I figured it out. There is some sort of bug in my nanoloop. Not sure which 2.5 I have... Need to fix it!

Did you try turn it off and on again?

That just triggers the random mode...

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to use the ping pong function in nanoloop and nothing happened. It shows the symbol when I press left and b, but nothing happens... I did it while jamming, so in the middle of a song. Am I missing something here?

Hi! We're Men of Mega from the Netherlands and we will be attending Blipfest this year. We really would like to play some pre-party or after-party. Any ideas on how? (As it seems to be a "don't call us, wel'll call you" deal) big_smile

first of all, fuck yeah comin from europe for blip! you're gonna have an awesome time.
second of all, it's safe to say you have the right idea; it very much is a "don't call us, we'll call you" deal! that said, it's also very much a "don't post on a forum to us, we'll email you" deal (or something along those lines).
HOWEVER you should sign up for the pre-blip open mic once they allow people to do so! it's a rad way to play a little and get to know the crew IRL wink

Thanks for the reply! Ok, We'll keep our mouth shut smile

When can we sign up for the pre-blip open mic? And when will it be? We will be in NYC on the 18th of May.
