cool Im gonna have a nice sit down with steve in the next few weeks and start the ball rolling to get this happening... no slackness
on this one at all... :)
I think there are enough mtl folks around that we can make this happen in a good way...

yeah well ghetto system totally bit what we did with the clonk stage but IMHO made a chessy attempt at being the what we did with the clonk stage at om last year in the same location...
so Ill give him props for doing something that was not in line with om but at the same time it was just a rip off of what I did last year...
with out his chessyness
picture good sound!!! (4 bass bins 4 tops spread through the woods)
2 video projectors 3 slide projectors all WORKING!!!
5 screens speard through the woods
30 hammoks in the trees
some stage lighting projecting upwards inthe trees
(red blue and green)
a booth that was made up of 4 tree posts and a tarp over head (no stupid dome thing liek this year)
and one clear light rope along the path to find your way to the stage
oh and the systme thing on the tree was a rip off also clonk had the same thing ...
so I respect what he did but really the only thing that was original about his stage was all the chessy scarfs, and the cirlces which wuld have been nicer if it was not done in a half assed attempt, like doing more then one tree...
but this is only my opinion...
personally I think all the stages try to put on to much visual stuff rather then let the music speak for it self...
I would rather do a stage in the woods with only sound and no visuals a few lights so you can find your way around but thats it...
maybe next year maybe I can get steve into working with me so mtl can represent and do a clonk/l4p stage...

seb keep me posted maybe I would love to be involved in some thing like this...
maybe we can do a idj/clonk and if I can convince steve l4p to all do a collaberative thing...

yo seb ask for a sound check as the sound at laberynth louge can be ghetto some times!!!!
make sure your also not playing in the basement as the ceiling is about as tall as I am...
(6 ft from floor to ceiling)...
man who hooked up that venue for you guys its not one of the better spaces considering its 250 bucks to rent for the night... sorry Im not meaning to poo poo your gig out there but you should have hooked up with the federal sound or balanced posse out there whom I gave your dj mix to.... maybe they will contact you soon about a gig in tdot and the experince will be a positive as a result other wise I wont be surprized if you come back hateing tdot... and I dont want that...
:(

well you know I used to have dreads in the 80s but in 1990 I shaved my head coose the baldy look over the dread look...
but regardless... yeah louise and I are far from hippies....

oh man seb is so far from a hippie its not even funny... thsats like saying Im a hippie or louise is a hippie...

I posted this in the events area but here it is in the review area
OM rocked my world for a change great stages great line ups all around
eletro organic, gnome and the feild of drones stages were killer... top knotch talent at all of them.... high lights were:
kero - live
kerri o - live
ollie - live
sarcastic - dj
aria - live/dj
wabi collective - dj
granny ark - live
aiden baker - live
jhona k - dj
the stupid hari krishnas tring to convert techno folks... what a bunch of dorks
naked man with socks and boots...
naked man with cowboy hat screaming get naked for peace on sunday afternoon...some people should never get naked in public EVER!!!
and chelse looking grossed out by all the hippie ravers... hahahhahaahaha
oh and pretending to swim while complining to steve about how shit the sound was on the stage we played on...
I played live 4 times in 3 days...
an unaanounced microsound set in the feild of drones friday night with aiden baker
an unannounced RnB glitch set saturday afternoon on the electro organic stage as dropfile
an offical listed minimal techno set saturday night on electro organic stage as naw
an offical listed drum and bass/dub set on the gnome stage sunrise sunday morning as the naw dub sound system
an offical pirate radioworkshop saturday early afternoon as my self... ;) on top of it all...

my hands were full and now Im beat...
need to sleep for a few days...
but Im at work instead...

seb email me its faster to contact me or add me to your msn IM its my email address...
thats so funny in a few more months my next record will be out on noise factory... oh well better late then never...

personally I dont see the comparission of om over teknival... at om you get every thing as part of the package price at teknival you are required to bring at minimum 5 gallons of water or no map at the map point... your own food and this which is totally pissed me off as a headlining artists Im not only being asked to find my own way to the fest location to play but I just got an email asking for a small donation for gas to play...
Im a bit pissed off now by this all and am thinking of not playing at this event...
as great of an idea it is it is also a bit insulting as an artist to be asked to pay to play!
so as cool of an idea as treknival is its also a very different thing from OM and can not be compared at all...

trust me where there is a will there is a way...
;)
get in touch with me or get steve to get in touch with me about it

there are other ways on to the site...
it just requires some innovative bush whacking...
you should still come up with steve from the drive Im sure youll get in some how...
just some thing to think about you know how to get in touch with me through steve if you want more info on this get in touch with me ...
as for knowing where the money goes take a look at that link I posted earlier it breaks down the whole ticket price into where all the money goes...
neil

oh ok then that wasnt you who went to the kero gig with steve last feb ok so ignore all that..
speak your mind its all cool how ever
I still think its lame to diss some thing that you have never attended like that as honetly om is not a hippie fest and its a great cultural festival with some awesome music...
and besides steve there are lots of folks from mtl playing there and attending...
Im playing
steve is playing
tobias is playing (if the punk doesnt bail at the last min like he normally does)
just to name a few...
but if you feel better about being bitter I can understand that since Im a sour puss my self..
;)
neil..

tell me about it I love my place mine is a little smaller and its 450 a month its going to take a shit load to get me to move from my place... the landloard is super cool also fixes stuff when you ask and has a great attitude...
you respect the place and she respects you...
:)
fuck the pleateau I could never find such a sweet place there not only cheap but in good shape...
there is nothing worse then paying a bundel of cash each month for a place thats falling apart...
or to a landlord whos a prick...
And give st henrie another year and it will be as "cool" as the pleteau with out all the dirt bags hanging out that you get out there...

if your interested in st henri the place below me is comming up for 500 4.5 its huge newly renovated... front and back garden and a hop skip and a jump to concordia...
just down the block...
if interested IM me private like...
neil

so a pirate radio workshop is shitty?
indy media sucks? its not face painting your being a baby with your bitching...
whats this sour grapes becasue you didnt get a free tix is that what you did when I didnt put you on the list for the clonk with kero and told steve that I could only list him alone and not his honey?
come on Im fully aware of how much it costs to do things and 90 dollars is peanuts for what you get
any how if you care so much you can see how the money is used and how the collective is set up
[ www.omfestival.ca ]

lot of montrelers are representing musically I belive...
on the electro organic sound system stage alone
there is
sarcastic
naw
tobias
ouef korrect
and I bleive there are others...
the 90 bucks is more thne worth and haveing been a core organizer of om in the past I can tell you that the 90 bucks a tix is totally accounted for penny per penny
think about it that 90 dollar tix covers, camping, free food, free spring water, 7 stages of music, workshops, and so much more.
having been someone whos done a stage at om in the past and performed at I can tell you that being a festival of this size with names as large as they are on some of the stages....artists comming from all over the globe....to perform, give workshops, ect... ect...
these people who do the festival are the most fair people I have ever worked with and would work with them in a second again at the drop of a hat. not to mention for just a large festival to not have one bit of corperate sponcership is some thing to be had these folks are turely grass roots non for profit!!!
and 90 dollars is peanuts to go to this festival...
oh and by the way they do cover transport I know for a fact that all steve has to do is provide gas recipts to kristyn at lectro organicand she will give him is gas money...
so I dont get it when people bitch...
why dont you bitch about the cost of tix for mutek, cream, or the cost it costs to go to a local party in the city...
I think OM is the best deal youll see all summer...

its happening this friday to sunday june 21-23
info is here

If your looking for cheap and the best bang for your buck I would never go with an evolution controller or even a phat boy they are compleat shit!!! they break all the time, I have an evolution for a total of 3 days befor it broke and tinkertoy was using a phat boy that basically disentagrated over time...
I would go with the midiman oxygen 8 I swear by that controller both for its cheapness, sturdyness and compatablity and flexablity...
they have a higher version now with more knobs which is equally nice more control ect ect..
other then that if your willing to spend some money I would go for the doffer controller...
more costly but totally amazing or the peavy controllers are also great...
if your planning on doing this seriously you want to get a tool that will work for you. best suggestion I could make is go to steves and rent a few different controllers and get a feel for each of them see which one works best for you... do some reseach make sure there are not any known problems with that controller and away you go...

reminder this is happening tonight....
be there...

well then come out who all is comming out this month any how?

is any one going from mtl or from this board?

yeah I bet you would be into it, shes also playing at om
getting granny ark the props she deserves has been a little pet project of mine from day one...
her music is awesome!!! there are a few producers in canada that I have taken under my wing to help and promote thier work granny ark is one of them. This will be the 5th show I have had her play at on the east coast since I met her 2 years ago...
I brought her to play 3 times in toronto and this will be 2nd time here in mtl... she is definatly an artists to look out for in the future as being another success story from canada...

seb its all cool...
get me the cd call me email mewhat ever it takes...
as for july august in tdot let me know maybe we can get a caravan going up...
:)
Im supposed to be playing in tdot some time in august... belive it or not opening for the human league...
hahahahah
