#Pacemaker DJ

Nostalgic for the Pacemaker? Well this is one instance where stuff has actually gotten way better since, only most people didn't actually notice, or knew of the origin context to appreciate it. I remember one time how Pioneer fanboys used to talk smack on Tonium's 'Pacemaker' DJ device all the time, saying that it will never replace professional CDJ's. To which I thought, 'no shit', but that wasn't the point of the Pacemaker DJ device. What the Pacemaker device essentially did, was take the dedicated two turntable metaphor DJ setup, and condense it into a pocket sized device that pretty much allowed you to create fully professional sounding DJ sets, anywhere, and anytime. It had a battery that allowed it to run for 3 hours without mains power ( the average length of a DJ set), that allowed you to potentially bang out a fully professional sounding DJ set using it, but despite what the pocket sized DJ device could do, those that feared it would constantly say it was 'nothing but a toy' that will never replace CDJ's. It was never meant to, but if the kids wanted badly enough to party, they would simply use what ever means they had that allowed them to knock out professional sounding DJ sets, just like back in the day when someone thought using vinyl turntable to beat match records together to create a seamless DJ set was a good idea, although the technics turntables weren't actually specifically designed for that purpose, but Tonium's Pacemaker DJ device is. Back in the day when raves, house parties, and illegal warehouse parties were happening, DJ's could have only dreamed of something like the Pacemaker DJ device, since there's no heavy records to carry where it's 120GB was ample to store thousands of records worth of tunes, and there were no heavy vinyl turntables to carry/transport either, meaning that it your illegal shin dig got busted, you could be out of there in no time with your pocket sized DJ device. It had built in stereo headphone monitors that were independent of the stereo line outputs too. Admittedly it did take somewhat of a learning curve to become accustomed to it, but most enthusiastic users would have been able to bang out a professional sounding DJ set on it within the hour of having hands on with it, and sure, it was a little more fiddly to use that a CDJ, or vinyl turntables, which for those that went out, and ordered one as a pre-release device was something that wasn't an issue, and/or they didn't really give a crap about if you were one of those enthused people that actually bought one back then. Sure, it was never going to replace CDJ's, but like I sad, that wasn't the point.

Eventually Tonium's Pacemaker DJ device was then officially, and exclusively brought to the Blackberry Playbook, for the Pacemaker DJ project to finally come to close in its final form on the final Blackberry OS device before they completely switched to running Android on Blackberry devices instead. (I nearly forgot that the Pacemaker DJ app saw its final place exclusively on the IPad).

Since then though, it seems Pioneer have made an official free mobile DJ app for both Android, and iOS (that doesn't require a paid subscription to use!) that is essentially close to what the final form of what the Pacemaker DJ device should have become, where the software and interface is now highly optimised to a pocket sized phablet device that everyone (nearly everyone) owns. It's also possible to use Pioneer's WeDJ app with an external DJ controller too, which I'm guessing Pioneer would more than likely hope you would use one of their Pioneer DJ controllers with.

A NaNo challenge for vidders, y'all.

[Copied in whole from the original post on Dreamwidth (https://actiaslunaris.dreamwidth.org/565916.html), with slight alterations for readability on Tumblr.]

Many, many thanks to simplecoffee, who brainstormed with me and helped me design these challenges. All my love for her support and creative ideas!

Two ways to approach -- an easy mode and a hard mode -- for four different challenges, but pick one to do.

On easy mode, you do all your planning in the months preceding November, starting whenever you feel most comfortable. On hard mode, you do your planning only in the month of November, with a few exceptions.

I've tried to design these to be accessible to new vidders, while still presenting a challenge to more experienced vidders. New vidders can also use the Vexercises Challenge prompts to help generate different ways of creating fanvids (https://vexercises.dreamwidth.org/12201.html). There are others there, so poke around.

All these, whichever you choose, must be finished in the month of November.

The four challenges:

The Back of Your Hand

Take a fandom you've vidded to death, meaning you know where all the clips are you want to use, and vid a thirty-second vid for every day of the month. If you think you can't match this, make a one-minute vid for each seven-day week.

Anything goes, to the limit of your inspiration.

New vidders, get to know your source using this challenge. Do start your planning before November.

The DJ Mixer -- courtesy of simplecoffee

Make a fanmix, and then vid that fanmix. Bonus feature to the challenge -- invite someone to create you a fanmix and vid that. Your challenge here lies in creating a fluid mix, where you choose how much of each song to use. This is for those who want to make a long narrative, or play with audio mixing, or anything else this might spark for inspiration. Your finished project should have a run time of at least twenty minutes, because you are creating a set.

See the conversation between myself and simplecoffee on how you can approach this for a more clear example. (https://actiaslunaris.dreamwidth.org/558508.html?thread=522412#cmt522412)

If you think you can't match this, create a shorter set, around ten minutes.

Some audio editing resources that make creating mixes easier: Sound Forge (trialware), Audacity (free), Tonium's Pacemaker Editor (specifically designed for DJs and free; has some bugs when used on Windows 10, but nothing severe).

Simple mix example: "Diamond" by imbir, Hotel Del Luna, (https://archiveofourown.org/works/29056350).

The Extended Play of Your Fave

Choose a musical artist whom you love. (Optionally, in addition to the musical artist, focus on a favorite actor.) Mix and match four to five songs from their body of work. You are not allowed to cut these songs. Create a thematic set of videos, your pick of topic. For instance, think tropes, or other commonalities, like for supercut visuals. Choose a recently consumed and previously unvidded source, only.

For a bonus approach, go multi-fandom. For less difficulty, do only three songs. The Vidder in the Booth

Your challenge here is to show us your process. For this one, you must only work during the month of November. You choose only one piece of music, but it must be four to six minutes long. You choose only one source.

Now, get hold of a screen recorder and other methods of recording your progress. For instance, if you work on paper to take notes before you start your vid, take photos. Log your progress visually, from the beginning stage up through the finished project. You'll then edit all these into two videos: your process and your project. You must share both.

Your process video can be in "Let's Play" style, including everything without cuts, and you can fast-forward process, whatever fits with your sensibilities. If you cut out what you consider to be boring or repetitive, keep track of the time spent there and log it in your process video.

The "I Have a Type, Don't I?" -- concept courtesy again of simplecoffee

Fanvids can be many genres. Some common ones are angst, fluff, alternate universe, and constructed narratives. Fanvids can also be meta, utilizing music and source to comment on the source in some way meant to provoke thought (for example, a vid could comment on toxic couples).

So, this challenge is to exercise your ability to create several of these genres, but with two little requirements. This is for multi-fandom vidders with a shipper's focus. Examine your fandom history. What ships are you most drawn to? Do they have commonalities?

As you’ve noticed, each challenge also has an easy, as well as a more difficult way, to accomplish creating several fanvids. For this, the easy way would be to pick and choose two from the given genres -- angst, fluff, AU, constructed narrative, metavid – and make two videos for each genre. For the more difficult challenge, pick four, and make two videos for each.

Each video should be one to two minutes long.

Please note -- there can be a lot of overlap between AU and constructed narrative, but to my understanding, an AU is if characters who are not werewolves in the original source are all now werewolves in your vid. A constructed narrative is something like if you chose to retell the story of a popular film but using the characters of a different source, or repurposed source and cut it to also tell a different story than what exists in the source.

Meta example: "Cosmic Love" by lola, multi-fandom, (https://lola.dreamwidth.org/96907.html).

Constructed narrative example: "【汤薰衍生】因为我的另一半是你" by 翼翼酱, Galileo, (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Pe411W7Di/).

AU example: "【浪客剑心现代衍生|斋藤一X比古清十郎】雨系列之一" by rainnorth, Rurouni Kenshin, (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1is411S7Mk/), contains flashes.

This is a multi-fandom challenge specifically to allow you to compare and contrast, and also, to borrow from other sources, so you can be as wide or narrow in your focus as you like. Go wild. (Break a few rules from all these guidelines if you want.)

The goal is to have fun. Show us what you can do!

[brn1029]

This date in music history. Sure, it was Halloween, but what else happened?

October 31st

2013 - Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye's family were taking legal action against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for copyright infringement over their hit song Blurred Lines. Three of Gaye's children filed legal papers accusing them of copying elements of the song 'Got To Give It Up'. The Gaye family cited excerpts of magazine interviews given by Thicke to support their claim he had admitted to drawing on 'Got to Give it Up' when producing Blurred Lines.

2005 - John Lennon

The white suit worn by John Lennon on the cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road album sold for $118,000 (£66,385) at an auction in Las Vegas. And an Austin Princess hearse driven by the late star in the documentary Imagine sold for $150,000 (£84,388). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the items went to Amnesty International.

1998 - Cher

Chart history was made when the UK Top 5 singles chart was made up entirely of new entries. Alanis Morissette went in at No.5, Culture Club at No.4, U2 at No.3, George Michael at No.2 and Cher with 'Believe' at No.1. It made Cher (who was 52) the first female artist to have a No.1 single over the age of 50. The song was a No.1 in 23 countries.

1996 - Slash

Slash announced he was no longer in Guns N' Roses. The guitarist said that Axl Rose and he had only been civil to each other on two occasions since 1994.

1995 - James Brown

James Brown was arrested in Aiken, South Carolina for assaulting his 47 year old wife, Adrienne, who said that her husband hit her with a mirror. Adrienne died in January, 1996 and the assault charges against James were dropped.

1990 - Roger Scott

UK DJ Roger Scott died of cancer aged 46. Scott was one of the most respected broadcasters in the UK, working on Capital Radio for 15 years and then BBC Radio 1. Working as a presenter at the Montreal station 1470 CFOX, Scott sang on ‘Give Peace a Chance’, recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their "Bed-in" for peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada.

1990 - Billy Idol

During a gig in Seattle, Washington, Billy Idol dumped 600 dead fish in Faith No More's dressing room. They responded by walking on stage, naked during Idol's set.

1974 - Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin held the UK launch for their new record label Swan Song at Chislehurst Caves, Kent, England on Halloween night. Drinks were served by nuns in suspenders, a naked woman lay in a coffin covered in jelly and naked male wrestlers cavorted in recesses of the caves. Label mates Bad Company, The Pretty Things and Maggie Bell also attended. The launch also tied in with the releases of The Pretty Things new album Silk Torpedo. The label was named after an unreleased Zeppelin instrumental track.

1969 - David Bowie

David Bowie appeared at a Halloween night at the General Gordon, Gravesend, England. The gig lasted about 15 minutes, after Bowie sang 'Space Oddity' to everyone’s delight and then dragged a stool on stage, along with a huge book. He then sat and read poems and was booed off stage.

1967 - Brian Jones

Rolling Stone Brian Jones was released from Wormwood Scrubs prison on £750 bail pending appeal. Jones had been found guilty of possession of cannabis. Seven Stones fans were arrested and charged with obstructing the police after demonstrating outside the prison gates.

Gerry And The Pacemakers were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'You'll Never Walk Alone.' The group's third and final No.1.

1963 - The Beatles

The Beatles returned to London from Sweden and were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans and a mob of photographers and journalists. American television host Ed Sullivan was at Heathrow as The Beatles arrived, and was struck by the sight of Beatlemania in full swing; he decided to look into getting this group to appear on his US television program.

1959 - The Quarry Men

The Quarry Men decided to change their name to Johnny and the Moondogs. The band were in Liverpool auditioning for the Carrol Levis show. The Quarry Men featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.

Album of the month / 2021 / 08 August

I love listening to music - gladly, all the time, everywhere. That's why I would like to share which music (or which album, after all I'm still from the vinyl generation ;-) I enjoy, accompanies me, slides up my playlists again and again...

The Beatles & George Martin

LOVE

Rock-Remix / 2006 / Parlophone, Apple, EMI (Universal Music Group)

When you hear the term "remix," it's usually a DJ putting a danceable techno beat under a pop or rock song. And often enough, this leaves the original performer or composer turning in his grave to the same frantic beat. But there are also exceptions. And one of them this time is my album of the month.

34 years ago in Québec I visited a kind of circus performance that was new to me. There were no animals, but excellent artistry. The whole thing was embedded in an almost psychedelic production of sounds and music and light effects and projections. Although individual acts, the whole was dramaturgically staged like an opera or a musical in one piece. The name of the circus was "Cirque du Soleil". A concept that in the following years and decades went from French Canada around the world and celebrated legendary successes everywhere - including artists in residence in Las Vegas. The visionary founder Guy Laliberté also became known worldwide as an impresario and, incidentally, a billionaire.

There are bands I really regret never having seen live. For example, The Queen with Freddie Mercury, although at least I met the latter once in a club in Munich - well, we were in the same room for a few hours. But there is also the opposite, for example The Beatles. As much as I appreciate these musical titans, a concert seems rather witless to me: film footage shows four musicians on stage, initially even dressed alike, operating their instruments without notable movements or show effects and trying to permanently drown out screaming young ladies. But maybe I only comfort myself with this assessment, because I was and am simply too young to be able to experience John, Paul, George and Ringo in their active time on stage. Anyway.

Guy Laliberté and George Harrison were friends. And at some point - I imagine the two of them over a cup of yogi tea after meditative yoga, one handing the other the joint "You, I have an idea..." - the idea was born to bring together the two cultural phenomena Cirque du Soleil and The Beatles. As a composition for all senses, new and timeless, ecstatic and colorful. After all, it was Harrison who was always eager to experiment. He converted to Hinduism in the 60s, gained experience with psychedelics and transcendental meditation and introduced oriental instruments, first and foremost the sitar, into Western music and is thus considered one of the most important pioneers of world music. A development that goes hand in hand with my personal taste: the longer their hair got, the more I liked their music.

It was only after Harrison's death that Laliberté was able to close the deal with the rights holders of the music (Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison), which can thus probably be considered a kind of Harrison's legacy. For the show was not to simply put together a soundtrack of the old familiar hits, nor were the compositions to be reinterpreted by other musicians. No, the original multi-track recordings were to be used to create new adaptations of the original songs. And who would be better qualified for this than George Martin, who had already produced groundbreaking albums with the Beatles themselves. In the process, he advanced from mere producer to arranger and idea generator, who also revolutionized recording technology by using overdubbing, for example. It's hardly surprising that he is often referred to as the "fifth Beatle".

In general, Sir George Henry Martin, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, is a man of musical superlatives. He is recorded as the producer of 4,836 titles, but one assumes considerably more. And that includes not only The Beatles, but also a wide variety of works for Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Manfred Mann, Little River Band, Ultravox and many more. His 30th number one hit was "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John. Martin founded the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts with McCartney, was one of a handful of producers inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and received the BRIT Award for "Best British Producer of the Past 25 Years" in 1977, among countless other honors.

So George Martin went into the studio with his son Giles Martin, who had produced INXS and Kate Bush, among others, following in his father's footsteps. And not just any studio - of course it had to be Abbey Road Studios (again). With the original recordings, the team not only created new variations of the original pieces, as they could have been created alternatively with the Beatles themselves. For example, they enriched the acoustic version of "While my Guitar gently weeps" with an orchestral accompaniment and combined the rhythm of "Tomorrow never knows" with the vocals of "Within You without You". Thus, a soundtrack project for a circus stage show ultimately became a new album by the Beatles. No wonder that Sir Paul himself described "Love" like this: "This album puts The Beatles back together again. It's kind of magical." And Ringo added "George and Giles did such a great job combining these tracks. It's really powerful for me and I even heard things I'd forgotten we'd recorded."

The documentary "All together now - A Documentary Film" by Adrian Wills (director) and Heidi Haines (screenplay), which won a Grammy in the category "Best long form Music Video", also fits the project's ambition. It tells the entire story of LOVE's creation, from the first meetings of the creative team around Martin and Laliberté to interviews with, among others, McCartney, Starr, Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow, and Neil Aspinall, the Beatles' longtime road manager and event technician, to the first rehearsals of the stage show in Montréal.

LOVE is more than a medley of hits by the mushroom heads, but rather a kind of rock opera that is a first-class listening experience even without the accompanying show. Says George Martin: "The Beatles always looked for other ways of expressing themselves and this is another step forward for them." And father and son succeeded with remarkable creativity. The new version of "Because" is still directly harmless, since it uses the birdsong of "Across the Universe" as well as the final chord of "A Day in the Life" played backwards. "Glass Onion," on the other hand, became a grandiose collage with elements of the songs "Things We Said Today," "Hello, Goodbye" (background vocals), "I Am the Walrus" (background vocals), "Penny Lane" (flute), "A Day in the Life" (orchestra), "Magical Mystery Tour" (effects) and "Only a Northern Song" (effects). State-of-the-art technology in digitization, mixing and mastering also ensure the finest sound quality.

Speaking of sound quality: a show that relies so heavily on music must of course also rely on a perfect acoustic performance. Created by French designer Jean Rabasse, the LOVE theater at The Mirage / Las Vegas houses 2,013 seats set around a central stage. Each seat is fitted with three speakers, which sums up to a spectacular sound system with 6,351 speakers designed by Jonathan Deans. The stage includes 11 lifts, 4 traps, and 13 automated tracks and trolleys. The theater features 32 digital projectors creating very large high definition digital 100' wide panoramic images, even on four translucent screens that can be unfurled to divide the auditorium. That's what I call "being in the middle of the action".

Reportedly, the theater cost more than $100 million - which doesn't even include the development of the show. And unfortunately, it also means LOVE can never go on tour. So I won't be able to avoid traveling to Las Vegas one day for that reason alone. Which I trust will be on the event calendar for a few more years to recoup its costs. And so the circle closes: Decades later, I would once again enjoy Cirque du Soleil in North America - and thus also experience The Beatles live in a somewhat different way.

Here's a trailer for the Las Vegas Show LOVE from the Cirque du Soleil:

Blast from the past, the long forgotten 'pacemaker' DJ device. A snap of the device issue number screen. My particular issue device in the picture went kaput years ago, it was good then, and there's been nothing like it since. I could only imagine it would have been much faster with an M.2 SSD in it Vs the iPod classic like HDD it had in it back then.

Scott & Andrew’s Wedding in the Catskills: The Reception

Following our ceremony, we hosted a cocktail hour in the garden of The North Branch Inn, complete with drinks, oysters and a massive charcuterie board that I still dream about.

Our signature drinks were created by our venue’s amazing bar manager, and referenced our two of our favorite queer love stories from last year. The “Call Me By Your Name” was actually inspired by one of our venue visits up to North Branch — on our site tour, our wedding co-ordinator, Stacey, offered us an insanely juicy peach (get it?) from the peach tree growing in their garden. We immediately asked if they had enough to use in our cocktails. 

All of the food at our reception was local from New York state, with the exception of the oysters, which were from our chef’s home state of Maine. We are total lushes and shoveled tons of these guys in our mouths garnished with caviar, crème fraîche, blueberry compote and miso paste.

Our friends could also chill the fire pit as the autumn evening set in. 

When we first discussed wedding planning, one thing Scott and I agreed on was that we didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg on decor. I always get a little stressed out seeing the amount of waste that goes into decorating tables at weddings, so we decided to only use simple, reclaimed objects that wouldn’t break the bank and would fit in perfectly with our flea-market-chic aesthetic. With Scott being an avid reader and me being a published author, we chose books as our centerpiece. Purchased from the dollar bin at The Strand we were also able to donate them back afterwards to keep them in circulation. The antique bottles, candle holders and dried flowers all came from Etsy.

Because we were pretty good at reining in the budget of our wedding, the one thing we let ourselves splurge on was the food. On our first visit to The North Branch Inn, we were immediately taken with the location and venue, but the thing that sealed the deal was eating at their restaurant. They take tremendous pride in their food and rightfully so. Our chef, Erik Kinealy-Hill, curated an incredible six-course meal with all local ingredients. And as if we weren’t feeling fancy enough, Erik left the next morning to go be Rihanna’s private chef on her yacht for a month!

In between courses our guests could knock out a round of bowling in the alley, which dates back to the 1800s.

Of course, no wedding is complete without your friends lightly dragging you in a speech, and Scott’s best friend Olivia Nuzzi and my two best pals Benj Pasek and Jake Wilson did not disappoint.

If you’ve ever seen one of my summer videos, you know I’m obsessed with sparklers, so you know I had some on hand to celebrate.

After dinner, we cleared out the tables and made room for dancing. When we were making a list of music for our DJ to play, we quickly realized that the list of songs we absolutely DIDN’T want played (I’m looking at you, Black Eyed Peas) was getting longer than our actual wishlist. I’m so Type-A that I ended up just teaching myself how to create a DJ mix using the app Pacemaker so “The Macarena” wouldn’t accidentally slip into our playlist. It also allowed me to blend some hilarious tracks. In case you were wondering, “Bodak Yellow” and Olivia Newton-John’s “Let’s Get Physical” have the exact same beats per minute and can be played directly on top of each other!

When you have Ryan Steele on the dance floor, you sometimes end up in a death drop. Pretty sure this was taken when RuPaul’s “Call Me Mother” came on.

There’s a lot of pressure for your wedding to be “the perfect day,” and even though Scott said we didn’t ever want to be stressed out by the process, we couldn’t help but feel pressured to curate an amazing weekend for our friends. Was it perfect? Of course not! But looking back, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. In the end, the main takeaway from our guests was that our wedding was “SO us,” and I think that’s the greatest compliment you can get when making a grand gesture as a couple. I’m so lucky to have a mate that rolled with the punches and made me feel taken care of every step of the way. And sometimes, even when it rains on your wedding day, it’s just because there’s a rainbow waiting to make a guest appearance.
