Hi Steve,
Yeah, I thought I saw Igor running down the hiway….., it looked like he was eating something, and huge chunks of paper were flying out of his mouth! You need a leash for that guy!
Anyway, I have some thoughts about the last TNT. Hopefully they'll help stir up some ideas.
Maybe the TNT could show how Logic's Environment could be used in a live DJ type setting, similar to the way a guy like Tom Cosm uses Ableton. You could show how the Environment could be used for live glitching, adding fills to drum parts in real time (David Earl touched on this a little in his TNT cameo from a few month back), live mixing, fading, morphing, etc., triggering scenes, and all types of sounds and effects from a controller routed to send information into an Environment set up for this purpose - why not an iPad running Midi Touch, or TouchOSC?!
What if you set a theme for the TNT, (something like what I've mentioned above) and had each of several MPV Logic trainers do one or two segments, kind of like a chain story, where one person starts with an idea, and each person adds their own thing to it. I think it would be great to see such Logic masters as yourself, Martin, Rounik, David Earl, Peter Schwartz, Scott Freiman, Bill Burgess, (the list goes on) do some sort of collaboration along these lines, and see how the music, and the way Logic is used to create that music, evolves.
I know that's a lot, but maybe somewhere in there there's something that will 'trigger' your 'Environmental' consciousness.
But please don't think too much about 'triggers' when Igor gets back. You know he's already 'bloody' enough!
Thanks for asking, and, of course, thanks for listening! MPV is really the best!
Adam
