Occupy Miami: Interview with the singer of my band Narcisa and his views

This past weekend after tracking drums for my bands new song, "Fall From Heaven," I learned more about the recent Occupy Miami protest. I realize this is a departure from the topics of the blogs, but after conversing with my singer about this movement, I was immediately intrigued. These have been protests that began on Wall Street and have trickled down to Miami. Also my singer (to remain anonymous) mentioned that there were all types of people protesting and mainly a lot of people who are interested in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music. How would you feel about hosting a hard rock/metal festival at the occupy Miami site. Please leave your comments below and support the movement! Location: NW 1st street and NW 2nd Ave in Downtown Miami.

Stay Tuned for future plans of a Hard Rock/Metal Festival at the Occupy Miami Site!

New Music Technology from TC Electronic: IPhone Communication And Data Transfer with Guitar Pickups?

When I first saw a demonstration of this technology I had no clue what its intended purpose was. There was an iphone and an electric guitar and the iphone would generate a frequency and the electric guitar's pickups would respond to said frequency (a principle called beaming). This looked interesting but what was the new technology? This past week, TC Electronic announced a brand new IPhone application to accompany their recent development, the Toneprint pedals, which let you download customized sounds from famous artists on-line. The Iphone would expedite the process of connecting a USB cable to the computer and downloading each patch individually. Rather, a library of patches will be made available in the application. This application will be made available for Android in December. Check out a video of this new Toneprint Application in action and comment below about your take on this new technology!

Wed November 9th: Korn With Datsik and Downlink at the Fillmore in Miami Beach

Come out and see the legendary band Korn this coming Wednesday at the Fillmore (Jackie Gleason Theater) in support of their new album "The Path of Totality." This new release from Korn features more of a fusion of dubstep, drum and bass, and electro-house. Korn has fused electronic music into their songs on previous albums, but this particular one features producers of electronic music such as legendary dubstep artist Skrillex. This should be an interesting show to see and below features a hit single featuring Skrillex, "Get Up!" off their new album (Explicit lyrics are present)!
