MPC Zen!

or the matrix approach.........


"there is no MPC"

thx wrote:an MPC haiku

dig the breaks
cut the drums
rock the beat
dance with craze

that's not a haiku
it should be five-seven-five
that's three-three-three-three

^^ that's a haiku

yes
you're right...

FIXED

eheheheh

I just turn the lights down low, run my fingers across her pads, wind her sexy knobs. When I turn her on, she turns me on.

Just been word mangling with my language translator, this is the result:-

My MPC, the end to be different, it employs me. We must follow of the respect.


.....Sounds a bit Zen.

CO-SIGN that (I've been researching Haiku and Japanese Poetry for a while now and indeed you can consider 4 bars of 3 syllables as being WAKA, or HAIKIKAI NO RENGA).

What people are calling here the ZEN of MPC, it would rather be the TAO of MPC.

Should it be a ZEN thing those would just being Koans(ZEN Short Stories).

I think you are DESCRIBING A WAY TO GET IN THE ZONE as in trying to point a finger to something that cannot be named expressly (TAO).

My way to practice MPC ZEN it's not to turn on the MPC on until I have my samples recorded on the SP303, looping in their raw lo-fi gritness.

...I cannot resist to offer my version of the MP Haiku

DUG THE MOFO BREAKS
HITS THAT I CUT - FROM THE WAX
DA HEAT THAT I BROUGHT.

It's obviously a summer HAIKU, (HEAT is a very common summer KIGO) and it also present the characteristic KIREJI placed just after the word CUT.

I candidate myself for the "2011 cornball award in Art and Poetry related posts" adding that this is VERY correct from a formal standpoint, since the KIREJI it's indeed a cut.

Should you like to get deeper in it, and I do strongly advise emcees to do it , start here:

If a MPC made a beat in the forest and no one was around to hear it, would it make a sound?

What is the sound of one MPC clapping?

First there is a magic MPC3000 swing.

Then there is no magic MPC3000 swing.

Then there is.

nice!

A student approached his teacher.

"Master, how do I make my drums sound like Premo?"

The teacher took his stick and cracked it on the student's head: KWATZ!

With that the student was enlightened.

^^That's exactly what I meant!!!^^^

In the most true ZEN spirit, let me rephrase your KOAN:


A young producer used to spend 20h per day on his MPC banging its pads as an obsessed. He barely used to find time to rest, eat or even take a good piss.

His elder brother asked him why he was training so hard: he answered he wanted to become as Dj Premier.

The elder brother took a stone from the ground and started to rub it against his shirt.

The young producer asked his elder brother why he was rubbing the stone that hard and the elder brother said:

<<I want it to become a mirror>>

<<Brother, no matter how long you will rub the stone, you'll never get a mirror out of it!>>

<<That's true, as it does not matter how many hours you'll spend on the MPC: you'll never become PRIMO!>>
