Buzz: Synthtopia, MatrixSynth and Moog Music Post Video for "Control Zone"

A few weeks back I posted a new rehearsal video for my song “Control Zone” (Watch embedded video) from my album I Hear Your Signals which I play on Theremin and AudioCube.

The popular electronic music blog Synthtopia and MatrixSynth both did posts on the video. The video was also posted on Moog Music’s Facebook page here. So between the coverage of these high-traffic sites and being exposed to 18,000 people on Moog’s facebook page, the video is quickly closing in on 1,000 unique page views already. So thanks to Synthtopia, MatrixSynth and Moog Music and all other bloggers and twitter friends for re-tweeting. You support is appreciated.

I thought I’d also share some of the awesome comments I’ve received so far on Moog’s Facebook post. I blocked out the names and icons for privacy reasons.

Listener/Viewer Notes 
This video is in HD and I captured the audio full fidelity right from my sound card so listen with some good headphones or on a good system and select HD for full-screen viewing. The video and audio were captured in one continuous take with no content edits.

Mark Mosher Show Announcement: Microsoft Store Park Meadows Mall, November 13th, 4-6 PM

Where: Microsoft Store Park Meadows Mall, Lone Tree, CO (map, web site)
When: November 13th, 2010. 4-6 PM
Cost: Free
Tickets: N/A
Type: Concert/Talk, all ages.  At this event I’ll be doing a one-hour long set starting at 4 p.m. I’ll repeat the set at 5 p.m.

Show Info:
During this set, I’ll be performing original songs from my new electronic music album “I Hear Your Signals” using various instruments that offer visual feedback including light emitting musical building blocks called AudioCubes. I’ll also be using the exotic Theremin (which is the world's oldest electronic instrument) but with a new twist.

Between songs I’ll be taking you behind-the-scenes to help you discover and explore the possibilities of laptop-based music production.

I'll be performing at the back of the store. It's separated from the shopping portion of the store with a clear wall that dampens sound and has a big flat screen. Below are two pictures I took at a recent sound check technical test at the store.

If you are already a seasoned electronic music artist, come down and support the show to help pave the way for future artist performances in this very cool community space.

Free Music Friday: "Dark Signals" Electronica Track and Video by Mark Mosher

Watch Embedded Video (I recommend watching in HD!)

"Dark Signals" is a song from my album I Hear Your Signals. This is an original dark electronica song with driving big beats, bit-crushed high-hats, a dash of ambient texture, and distorted synth leads. It's one of my favorite songs off the album and is becoming a crowd favorite at live shows.

In the spirit of Free Music Friday you can get this song, or the entire album over at http://markmosher.bandcamp.com name your price (enter $0 for FREE).

The song and video are Copyright 2010 Mark J. Mosher and are under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.

Listener/Viewer Notes

This video is in HD and I captured the audio full fidelity right from my sound card.  So I recommend you listen with some good headphones or on a good system. You can play full screen, and or stream to your home theater via Tivo, Apple TV.

The video and audio were captured in one continuous take with no content edits so you can here a few artifacts and – dare I say it – teeny mistakes here and there which I left in as it’s part of the “character” of live performance. The only editing is on the video side where I added camera movement, camera mixing and visual effects.

Enjoy,
