Some plants can be a real A-hole. Don't believe me. Plant a olive tree in your yard. It will kill everything around it. :lol: Wait, you're from Italy you know about olive trees. (Serious question.) recommend some great Italian recording artist.

NO BATTERY.

Really, don't tell my portable battery pack that. I know carrying around 2 pounds is back breaking. :lol:

I recommend a musician from my small island.
His name is IOSONOUNCANE and the record is DIE (in the language of my island it means "Day").
He's not very famous but he is going good, I really like him.

And about plants, half joking, half not. I mean, sometimes I really prefer plants and animals to humans, they can be aggressive also but never mentally unsane like humans can be.

Just relax, get an Mpc and stop with no sense, I'd like to say.


I'm not trying to discount what you're saying but - even in the midst of the crazy amount of illegal migration you have going on and the associated issues with that, you still have things to be thankful for.

I guess you won't fully understand it until you are away from it all.

Plants can also be sampled without clearance. I utilize this secret tool to come up with the most eco frendly arps I can ever need for.

Yeah I saw a performance in Milan last year where some people where sampling the plants with an high tech contact mic and tweak that sounds live wih pedals effects and mixer.
After the performance, they told me any fluid can be sampled this way and they also use it to sample human blood.
interesting enough but the music they were making was not that exciting.

I just grew up with the idea that if you are kind with the others, the others are kind with you.
Now it's the opposite, they only like you if you are unkind, selfish, the more you are evil, the more they like you.
That's the end of an healthy culture, in my opinion.

Ok here is a very clever musician of 70s. He made two albums of real electronic experimental madness but after he made pop music and became famous.
These first two records are FETUS (1971) and POLLUTION (1972).
His name is FRANCO BATTIATO.

While I think the One is cool, it doesn't inspire me to do anything to stretch my musical compositions, or to do something different, because it doesn't do anything different. That's cool though - it wasn't meant to - just draw in some new users.

I hope now though, that they get focused on advancing the platform in ways that fosters creativity and inspiration (or hell, just fixing issues that people have been talking about). As a Live owner, NAMM brought nothing new in terms of functionality or inspiration (for me). I saw the One, stopped and looked at it for a minute, scrolled past it to look for anything noteworthy, and went right back to working on this project with this MPC Live. And if the next update is just that drum synth, I'll seriously be bummed.

Which by the way, Blue Soul Ten, spring 2020, featuring artists from Oklahoma, London, Los Angeles and Indonesia. Haha - since we're derailing the thread with insults and hurt feelings, a little self-promotion can't be all bad can it?

It's like every music demo video have at least two things in them. A wood table and a plant. Just look at some YouTube videos. LOL
