Am not really sure why someone would sign up for this "Facebook" site--it seems pretty bug-ridden. But what do I know, I'm only 1-11-11 11-1-11-1 -11 -111 1-111h-111 1

New York's finest are clearing out Zuccotti Park tonight. They waited until 1 am because they are much braver in the dead of night. A mayor who has a right wing talking point understanding of the roots of the financial crisis is governing in a way that fits his class--with a good old fashioned show of force.

"Retro Jungle Kit"

"Retro Jungle Kit" [mp3 removed -- a revised version is on Bandcamp]

One of the Native Instruments software samplers (Intakt - discontinued) has "kits" with drum and bass loops so you can make tracks, like playing with Lego. I mixed loops from different kits and added some effects and other instruments, mostly to hide seams where the beats were slightly off. Used one of my Doepfer A-112 wavetable demos as a background "atmospheric."

Am really liking this site called "Facebook." It's kind of "teenage" in its layout and overall content but you can use it to meet colleagues and have professional discussions in what is ultimately a very relaxed setting!

Some people don't take it at all seriously, though, and insert random characters and markings in lieu of real posts. This wastes valuable server space on a tool that really has potential to change everyone's work, love, and creative lives.
