Hey gang, miss you all, s'been a while.

So how much do you love art, live dj shows, break dancing, and drinking with cool art nerds? A lot? Killer. This announcement goes out to anyone in the Toronto area interested in checking out a live show in a very very interesting venue.

ART JAM
Place: Sheridan College; the Connexion bar
Time: 8:00pm-Midnight, on Friday the 28th
Price: Free
Wait, What's going on?: Basically, there's a bunch random stuff painted white (last time there was a bicycle, a PSX, a genesis, a bunch of appliances... this time I know there's at least an electric guitar) as well as a bunch of normal canvases set up, and everyone paints everything with the provided art supplies... including some models walking around in slim to none. There's also a band which will be performing, a break dancing set, a projector showing live photoshopping, and a decent amount of drinking.

But as if THAT wasn't cool enough; yours truly will be the DJ and my playlist will look something like this:

75% 'Mainstream with a beat' (everything from Daft Punk to Pendulum, Royskopp, Mr. Scruff, Boards Of Canada, Theivery Corporation, Aphex Twin and everywhere in between)
10% VGM (Jet Grind Radio, Brawl, Katamari Damacy)
10% VGRemixes (Skrypnyk, Rellik, Joshua Morse, GameBox, Nicole Adams)
5% Originals from within the vgm community (Tepid as Blue Satellite, Zircon, as well as other suprises)

Interested? Get a couple friends together and plan a road trip. I don't have tonnes of room for people to crash or anything but I promise it IS gonna be worth the trouble... I've been to two art jams so far and it's just about the greatest concentration of cool things you can imagine... the only thing that really sucks about it is that it's only 4 hours!

For those who can't make it, I should be recording the show and uploading it eventually... if all goes according to plan that is.

Hope to see you guys there!
-Luke, LAOS

[Global-Trance]

Sounds fun. Record your set. :3

Also if you want some of my bootleg mash-ups, I can send them your way.

a tear of joy just came from my eye.

[Rayza]

Oakville ain't far.. Hmm..

[reelmojo]

Oakville is far... dammit.

[Zombie]

Sounds awesome, kind of wish i could be there.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Here's some pictures from the last art jams to give you guys an idea of the concept.

Two of the models. The guys in the corner with the laptop had his photoshopping projected on a wall.

One was me. :P

[Liontamer]

Be sure to capture some audio and/or video, Luke; I'm looking forward to this. Good luck!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

6 days...

bump.

:tomatoface:

[The Tiger]

Damn...

I live in Mississauga so I would definitely go, but I'm currently living in Thailand. Crap.

At least I can bump the thread. Someone go for me, please.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Hey guys, coming up this Friday. Rayza? Skrypnyk? Was that a maybe? A yes? I can find you room to crash if you need it.

Anyone else have exclusive WIPs that might do well in a set like this? I can still feature a track or two (maybe) if they really want and it's not total shit.

In other news, I was worried I wasn't going to get any media since borrowing a second laptop was proving to be a bad idea. But I'm buying a new MP3 player expressly for capturing the concert... so unless things explode or something... it's pretty much definite.

[Skrypnyk]

As long as my friends don't bale on me, I think I can make it.

[Global-Trance]

Hey Laos, did you get my PM? I sent you a couple bootlegs

[FiremanJoe]

Sounds awesome, kind of wish i could be there.

Seconded. Definitely record your set and post it, and photos! :D

Wish stuff like this happened around my neck of the woods. :(

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Well it looks like the mp3 player world is straying from line-in ports. FUCK that. Anyway, I snagged a neat little voice recorder... it was the only portable electronic device in two stores WITH a line-in. At it's highest quality, it can record stereo at 128kbps for 8 hours... so that should do the trick.

Global-Trance; I got your mashups; I sent you a pm about them.

Skrypnyk, your friends? Are you bringing more than yourself? Please say yes...

[Skrypnyk]

my friends are my only source of transportation.

so they kinda have to come.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Meh, if they all hate to paint things just tell them to bring a DS. It is a college after all, you will be in youthful gamer company.

Also, I did a trial recording with the sound recorder... it picks up the line out from my lappy pretty well. So short of my new recorder going missing, or the mixing board (being rented today) not having a 1/4 inch out, I will have media for you all.

My roommate should be taking video, and there's always around 100 pictures floating around facebook.

Oh, and I'll be wearing my black OCR shirt. :-o

[Skrypnyk]

so as planned, my friend will probably not have access to the car tonight, thus leaving me stranded 44 minutes away from said event.

=(

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Sucks to be you, it was great.

I don't have time to post a full review yet or the files because I just woke up... at 2:30... and I need to catch a bus just after 3...

But it was a pretty awesome set all things considered. It's definitely not gonna be my last show.

I'm not on there at all D:

but I suppose I wouldn't have fit anywhere actually. Sounds like a fun time. The whole thing with people coming up to talk to you after the set is a good feeling isn't it?

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

It's happened to you too eh? :D
