ok people!
special interactive instalment of 'this is what it sounds like...'
this one is for the movers, the shakers, the music-makers:)
get your inspiration from hifana - a 'hiphop' / breakbeat / electronic / experimental duo from tokyo, who gave up backing bellydancers (seriously) to do their thing. pushing the boundaries of description, they use sampling, beats, breaks, video games, percussion and distortion in a way that i can best only compare to coldcut.
first check the wamono video:
ok - your turn to 'fresh push'
hifana's site has a sound machine (à la mixman studio) so now you too can play!
check it out here.
instructions:
- once the welcome screen stops spinning, click it!
and there's your playground, so play the record!
- choose one of the two orange presets at the top of the console on the right (i like 'lanlan')
- play around with the thing in the middle! seriously, almost everyhing including the cans and keys on the page is clickable.
et voilà, you're making music. or maybe dancing?!
