			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some interesting news this week: this is probably the last year that Metlay will be leading thngs at Different Skies. </p>
<p>I view this with very mixed feelings. Different Skies is of course the first place I&#8217;ve ever played keyboards live onstage (and on TV for that matter) and should it not continue after this year, I&#8217;ll certainly miss it greatly. I&#8217;ve been privileged to play with musicians way above my level, and even if I only get to do it once more I&#8217;ll feel as if I&#8217;ve been a lot luckier than many. </p>
<p>It will be a very different process without Mike leading it. Different Skies has been very much an expression of Mike&#8217;s ability to get the best from wildly varying people; there are several others who could do something like it, but Mike&#8217;s absence will be a big factor. He has the ability to form a rapport with nearly anyone, and is really the face of Different Skies not only to the outside world, but to Arcosanti.  Different Skies may have become enough of a thing in itself to keep going even without Mike: there are several members of the core group who could lead the process and do it well. </p>
<p> Different Skies is quite unique: a music festival that happens because people volunteer to spend a week learning to play together and composing the music that will be played. Even if the Arcosanti version stops, the concept will live on, I hope &#8211; and if it doesn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s been an incredible ride and a wonderful chance to spend time with friends who I don&#8217;t often see in person, but who are some of the best people I know.</p>

<p>This looks like it could be a good promo item for independent musicians, allowing them to provide otherwise-unavailable items via iTunes LP sales, benefiting both themselves and their fans.</p>

<p>And for you obvious spambots: you&#8217;re signally failing the Turing test by making comments on five-year-old posts&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Man, this is one gorgeous keyboard. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it <em>sounds</em> like a dream. I&#8217;m a sucker for those old &#8217;70&#8242;s electric piano sounds. The SV-1 specifically adds all the <strong>noises</strong> that the actual instruments make. Organs, acoustic piano, and clavinets too. Here&#8217;s a<br />
<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k5QBonuivQ' >Massively detailed demo from Sweetwater Sound</a>.<br />
I&#8217;m really seriously considering switching to this instrument plus maybe a softsynth or two.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re trying an experiment this year for Different Skies: the <a href="http://twitter.com/differentskies">@differentskies</a> Twitter ID will be used by all the participants to do updates during the week. </p>
<p>Normally we have a lot of different blog entries that generally end up getting written at the end of the day or even a day or so later &#8211; a lot happens at a Different Skies!</p>
<p>Having the one Twitter ID to watch saves everyone from having to chew up Twitter real estate on a #differentskies hashtag.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if everyone&#8217;s too busy even to use Twitter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=317986145&amp;mt=8">iGendyn</a> (App Store link) is a moderately interesting synthesis app that&#8217;s let&#8217;s you play with Xenakis&#8217; <em>gen</em>eral <em>dyn</em>amic stochastic synthesis.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s essentially a powerful noisemaker. You can make some pretty rough-edged sounds with this; the iPhone gives you surprisingly sensitive control surface. The accelerometer-based controls are less sensitive and harder to make reproduceable gestures with; the (up to) triple-touch control is easier to learn and control.</p>
<p>It might be useful for a situation where you need its swoops and slides; the performance gestures make it something that might have a good bit of interest onstage; it feels a bit like you&#8217;re wrestling with the phone when you&#8217;re really going for it and attempting to control the sounds at the same time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s free, and definitely worth a try for something different.</p>
