I was just wondering if anyone has any Edward Artemiev. He is a Russian pioneer of electroacoustic music during the Soviet era and did the sound tracks for Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972), Mirror (1974), and Stalker (1979). I love the movies and would like to hear more of his stuff. If you own some, have any copies, or know of any sounds on the web of his stuff, please give me a holler off the list.

lame question?
by dj monolith 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Can someone tell me what the Orb Live in Japan video is all about? All I know is that it is just over 10 minutes long and it is bloody brilliant. Is there a longer version floating around out there? Is there a non-digital version? What is it all about?? thanks Darcy ( dj monolith ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

new to list; quick question re: "live and unreleased" cd's
by Dgowc1st＠aol.com 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

hi all, I'm new to the list, so please correct me if this is a breach of etiquette. is it cool to inquire about recordings of live Orb shows, if we are talking even trading for discs, where no money changes hands, and the end intent is for strictly non comercial, home use only listening and enjoyment? i ask this because i was fortunate enough to see the orb, and lucky enough to walk out of the venue with a pretty decent DAT recording of it. i also have a radio broadcast of the woodstock show, and i just cant get enough of these guys live! i have bought a large # of the Orbs official releases, as a matter of fact i have every cd of thiers i have ever seen in any record store that i've been in. if i didnt already have it, i would buy it on the spot. .....so, is this cool to ask about trading for live and unreleased recordings of the Orb? i only ask because i am so in love with thier music, and enjoy it so much. i am not trying to rip the band off in any way, just feed an addiction where i cant get enough of thier music. thanks for any opinions, and if this is not the forum for such discussion, i apologize in advance. on the other hand, if anyone out there has ever taped an Orb show, and it came out sweet, i'd love to hear from you. with nothing but respect~ mike ahern

CR's...final details.. :-/
by Chain Reaction 04 Jan '03

Folks! > i seem to be having trouble trying to download some orb stuff off of CR i > keep getting the incorect username ! anyone know whats going on ? > and yes i have tried ORB/BASIC 1) keep the time difference in mind (and the pc is not on all the time!); it's GMT + 1h over here...opening hours (guaranteed!) are 09:00 am - 5:30 pm 2) somehow my pc keeps jammin' overnight after I've left work (where the pc is); I have no clear explanation for this, but it does prevent one from logging in, unfortunately. I'm gonna end CR's any time soon. My contract ends in February, next year, after which I will be gone here anyway. And running the same thing at home with my 56k modem is definately not an option... :-< . Also, I got some remarks these last few weeks about my download/upload activities during work, so...gotta lay down low a little more I'm afraid. And programmes like Soulseek render ftp-sites a little obsolete these days, don't they..? Thanx for all your contributions over the years. It's been great fun exchanging music with you guys, and I hope it opened your musical eyes a little more. It certainly opened mine! Your taste is excellent... Stringer...the floor is yours (you never know)! Take care, and be kind to others, Steph.. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup

new orb perspective
by john bennett 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

thought id post this for the other orbsters out there that ever find themselves stuck in on a satuarday night like me tonight and have nothing much to do! its just a bit of fun , a way listen to your orb recordings from another angle as it were - try phase canceling a stereo signal (my favorite audio effect)- any orb record will do - and youll find loads of intresting sounds hidden away in the background , for those interested in sampling - on certain tracks,individual sounds are seperated and you can nik them for your own music - im listening to fluffy clouds at the mome and the guitar is left on its own with a very slight amount of hi hat,everything else is removed- cool ay!! 2 ways to do it - both work very well - expensive way (easy way) some mixers have the option of phase reversing --pan both left and right of a stereo recording to one side,or centre (just aslong as they are at the same position)and flip the phase on either left or right,also make sure both levels on left and right are coming in at the exact same level ! you can add a slight reverb to make it sound more spacious ! a cheaper way : (but a little tricky) is to get your twin phono cable from the back of your cd player-> amp - cut it in half(arrg i hear you cry) - cut back the 'black' outer plasic from both the ends so you have a white(left) ,red(right) and eath (copper wire) -then cut back the plastic from the red and white cables on both ends -connect (by twisting the wires) the red of the cd end to the earth of the amp end, and the white of the cd end to the white(or red ) of the amp end as below : ___________white--------------white LEFT phono-------------------earth amplfier cd ___________red---------------- earth RIGHT phono------------------ earth this setup will make the signal come out of one speaker but its a mono signal anyway!(you can twist both the red an white on the amp end so it comes out both speakers) youll hear stuff you never knew was there ! for those that dont know its called phase cancelation it takes away (cancels) all that is pan'd in the middle of the mix-(when both left and right are at the same level) ie bass - drums vocals! - which are normaly paned central for example in molten love it totaly takes away the the filterd bongo drum (exept for the delay fx here n there) true the best sound out of that track but your left with strings,hihat and fx not the way the engineers intended you to hear their mix but its alot of fun to try .. plus you can always twist the wires back as they were - no harm done ! happy listenin john

Eminem - Without Me vs. Orb - Toxygene

I don't know if anyone else has heard this bootleg mix. I think Alex has used it in his own sets. http://www.base58.com/spec/spec_eminemenorb.mp3 "There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."
