Here's a short 'making of' promo for Jean Michelle Jarre's new 'Oxygene Live in your Living Room' album/DVD. It's half in French and contains a great deal of blah blah blah, but you can see the phenomenal collection of vintage gear he used to recreate his 1977 album Oxygene (live, without using MIDI or sync). The DVD release also includes the whole thing in 3D, which you watch using old-fashioned red/blue paper glasses. I couldn't make much sense of the 3D, and the music is fairly ponderous but the DVD is the finest synth porn I've ever seen. I want to see it in HD, to better watch the tape loops spooling up the back of the two-manual Mellotron or read the patches on the numerous EMS Synthis scattered over the stage. There's also a wonderful seven minute film with Jean Michel talking you through the gear, strapping on his Moog Liberation, showing off his Arp 2500 modular and playing an old 1920s theremin.

Downloading free music is a thing of the past. What then are we to expect with the future of music after Napster. Will the music industry still reign, or is it forced to cut prices? Will musicians be forced to lay down their instruments?

As a professional MIDI programmer, my job is to take a song and transform it into MIDI data. In short, you are taking all the parts: the chords, the notes, the drums, the dynamics, and reproducing them. As one example, a solo performer can now play and sing along with that MIDI file and can sound pretty close to the original artist's recording.
