Which is, I believe, the only from-the-Net- to-the-studio project out there in general distribution right now, and is well over three years old at this point.... -- mike metlay * atomic city * box 81175 pgh pa 15217-0675 * metlay@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prophet T8 General MIDI Brass patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Piano patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Synth patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 1994 09:09:09 -0500 From: "Lee Bottemiller and I don't like this gobbledy-gook."

Has it been published, recorded, or even charted? >I'm curious. BANDWIDTH is my band's album. It was released on CD last spring, and is still available from me. EMUSIC-L doesn't allow sales ads, so please contact me if you want details on how to buy a copy. It's a record of the session that took place in December 1990 at my house between eight well-known net.gurus from that time period, who'd become friends and agreed to work together via email and many of whom only met one another for the first time that December. Besides me, there were six other people present and one "virtual" member who participated via email, Standard MIDI file, extensive notes, and coaching by phone. Of those eight, several are still seen frequently on the Net: me, Nick Rothwell, John Rossi, and Dan Barrett. Others are a bit less vocal nowadays: Adam Schabtach (virtual), Kurt Geisel, and Carl Brenner. And Dean Swan is still connected, but almost never answers mail and no longer stomps on Emu's face via rec.music.makers.synth, alas. :) Since then, Team Metlay and the Atomic City label have expanded to include William Sequeira, Eirikur Hallgrimsson, and our own Joe McMahon. John (Zero) Curtis, whose net connections have come and gone many times since his involvement in the onanistic (hi, Pat, thanx for the numbers) SATURNALIA sessions in 1992, will be back with us as soon as I verify his new net address, and we're looking forward to welcoming Steve Verity, whose solo album may be released on Atomic City this year, and D. Andrew Crowell, studio engineer and retro synthesist extraordinaire, who's fine as long as you don't get him on the subject of how clever he is. Kinda like me. :) We may never all meet together at once a gain. Most of us believe it would be a bad idea; critical mass in the studio is between three and five, it seems. But we continue to communicate, share ideas, visit one another, and so on. A community within the community.... -- mike metlay * atomic city * box 81175 pgh pa 15217-0675 * metlay@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prophet T8 General MIDI Brass patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Piano patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Synth patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 1994 17:48:11 EST From: "I've been stolen by a gypsy. 20-Jan-1994 1744" Subject: Re: MUSIC Bandwidth, the CD, is the result of a Internet-wide group assembled by Mike Metlay. It's an impressive debut recording, with lots of analog Xpander sound. Contact Mike Metlay via Metlay@Netcom.com for ordering details. After you've got it, you can bug him about the follow-up album.

Ahem. There IS another Team Metlay album out there, or perhaps I should call it an EP, with about 20 minutes of music on it. It's entitled "Saturnalia," and it chronicles the, shall we say, less-successful-than-Bandwidth TM session of August 1992. Eirikur was, to his credit, a strong driving force behind the Aug92 sessions, and has been pushing hard for the official release of the music. Other members of the Team have been pushing just as hard to either release it only after extensive reworking, or to bury it for good. I have until now considered the four "Saturnalia" tracks to be part of the Atomic City "silent volume" (non-released album) Sound And Fury, which also includes five tracks from the winter 91/92 "Beta Test" sessions, and some digital relics from the Atomic City studios (including the one out-take from "Bandwidth" that was left off the CD to much wailing and gnashing of teeth). The total time, depending on what I decide to include, could be over an hour, if it were to be pressed and released. That's a pretty big "if," for several reasons, some technical, some musical, some financial. We have batted the question around so often amongst ourselves that it's beginning to be something between a standing joke and a pet peeve. It's probably time I brought the subject up again to the gang and hashed it out for good...but certainly not in a public forum like this one. If the situation changes, you'll hear about it in a hurry, I promise. PS to Eirikur: Have you been getting my email? There's a fellow who wants to buy that MIDIA box of yours who says he can't reach you. I didn't get a reply to my last mail to you, either, and I was wondering.... -- mike metlay * atomic city * box 81175 pgh pa 15217-0675 * metlay@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prophet T8 General MIDI Brass patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Piano patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* Prophet T8 General MIDI Synth patch: *BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!* ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
