[Reader-list] PRINCE

[raimundas m]

A time-warp took place between June 2007 and July 2007: Prince  
distributes
his new CD for free through an issue of "Daily Mail" in UK after  
readers of
51.01 issue of "ArtLies" magazine in Texas are offered a remix of his  
"1999"
track from the year 1983.

The remix of "1999" is audio-space-time labyrinth: listeners from the  
year
1982 as well as 3121 are contributing their sounds to the weekly  
podcast of
the collectively produced remix of sounds and concepts.

You are invited to subcribe to it here:

http://www.opensourcesound.org/princecast/mainindex.html

But before subscribing don't forget that original (or sampled) sounds of
yours can become a part of the remix of "1999" too - you just need to  
send
them to the machines and characters looking forward to activate your  
files
in the redeconstructed stream (click on the same link above.)

What is behind this unleashed robotic becoming of Prince?

- Prince Cast Generator conceived by Morten Norbye Halvorsen who  
claims that
"Prince Cast Generator is a configuration of various music gear from key
years related to Prince's ouvre “1999”. Acting as the master clock is
Prince's new album “Planet Earth” referred to here as “3121”. "3121"  
has a
running time of 45 min divided between 10 tracks, which controls via,  
tape
sync the master bpm and playback of the midi track 1999 stored on the  
MSQ
700. The midi track runs on a loop throughout the 45min, subtle  
changes in
tempo and pitch occur accordingly to the "3121" sound/frequency  
spectrum,
thus producing 10 “acts” with changes relating to the song structure.  
The
sounds are being produced through the midi signals received from the  
MSQ 700
in the various machines configured by the Prince Maker. The Prince  
Maker is
invited to add their particular interpretations of the 1999 track to the
Prince Cast Generator in whatever format suitable t i.e. sound files,  
midi
files, midi/din sync /tape sync gear, software presets/files, web  
links any
other suggestions to this list are much appreciated. [...] "
