Oz trauma's
by Rene 21 Mar '04

21 Mar '04

Hi Tasha, With mixed emotions I read your words on the Wizzard of Oz. It's a youth trauma... :-) I remember seeing it when I was very little, and got very disturbed when the witch got smashed by that house... and also when her sister was melting away because of water... The horror :-) I refused to take a bath after that! My parrents had to dig deep into the bag of psychology tricks to get me in the shower or bath again. However... I did see all three versions. The original, the one with M. Jackson, and the re-make of it. With healed trauma's :-) - >And Yello certainly takes me to such a place, foreign and bizarre and >scary and happy and fun... Yep. That's what the music does for me. In La Habanera is see Pedro standing outside the club... Most of the times it's creating a little video clip of images in my head for every track. When music can do that, it must be great. Rene

If I have the time I'd like to have a go at a remix, but I may only have time to get the samples (and run). I'll decide closer to the date.

Rene - who can now fly in his dreams.... amazing.

Yello from Oz
by Paul Jones 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

A big Yello from Oz To Rene and Daniel the Master musicians making mere melodies magnificent music, my congratulations to you both. Rene your mix is better than the last, but still very similar and Daniel yours is awesome also. Is that your voice Rene as Darth Vader? It's very exciting for you both particularly as you have the distinct advantage that you actually know what your doing, and not just what you want. Welcome back GRC mate-talk to me about your server needs and I'll sort something out mate. I'd love to get the FTP shared resource. It also depends on Demand, I'd love to support all the frequent members, but not so keen on having a resource where anyone can get all our prized music. I'd be happy to provide a shared spot for us all to use, based on the needs and wants from different members. If anyone has ideas for setting up a server again, post your thoughts and we'll see what we can do. Tasha, Juhana and Rory and Sean in Oz; your all as keen as mustard about the comp. I personally just don't think I can compete but will have fun trying. It's just gotta be someone from the list that's passionate about Yello win that comp. Great chance for the likes of me to learn heaps from all of you. Keep sharing the samples and we'll keep giving constructive feedback for you. Hey thanks Rene for your translation, can you translate the emails they sent back to me now, its all urgle burgle durgen dutch to me. Rene can you tell us again what your starting recommendations for software and hardware would be. Tah. Jon Kamm- another master. Thanks heaps for keeping your Yello site so up to date. The Yello site that myself and Raphy are working on is nearing completion, pages are up and running from a database of over 1700 Yello items. You will be able to see complete collection by type of record, by county of release and also by some owners of the various items and by the many other options available. The site will be fully searchable and should prove to be a valued resource in conjunction with the other sites, especially Jons and Makke's Garage. I would like to ask everyone to consider now-before the sites finally released-if you would all mind contributing your details to the site and allows us to track your items in the database, this would be a useful tool for everyone having an online database of their Yello collection, and also a nice backup. Myself and Raphy would like to have every item linked to the various owners, thus creating a global map of where the items are and exactly how many copies exist, this will also allow us to fully rate the rarity of all tracks. Most items in the Database will have pictures and additional pages detailing the release information. The site will also allow for submission of new items to be listed by members. The website will be a secure server based on login permissions, and can also be customized for different users preferences. Myself and Raphy would welcome any suggestion that you might like to see incorporated into the database yello site. Oh shit, I forgot I'm at work to work and not to play. See ya all. Paul J

Dada samples
by Rene 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

Thanks for all the positve comments on my mix!! This keeps the juices flowing... As I said before I'm thrilled by the new software I have. This has made it so easy to give a sound that bit extra by just adding a plugin and wiggle the knobs until the ear say: Yeah cool!! And at the touch of a button I can switch between projects. So while working on my own tracks, a new idea for the Dada mix surfaces and -klik- I can try and embed it. So no need any longer to keep it in the fridge as I've put it earlier. It's like heaven on a 19" screen. About the Dada samples... I ripped them of all the Dada tracks I have now. So the slicing and dicing was already done. Except for some samples that have been eddited by me to make them cleaner or different. But I'd say 80% comes straight of the Dada maxi cd. They even have the same stereo position. I really, really, really hope more of you will be inspired to come up with something. The contest at start-ab is the coolest thing ever for us fans who also (try) to make music, but perhaps we can beat them to it, while keeping it an event instead of a contest. I'm a big Yello fan (oh really) but I'm also a great fan of And One from Germany. And it's their style that hits a spot I can get closer to then Boris' creations. So it's no surprise that the Dada remix I'm working on has a certain And One flair. I sample anything I hear, but I refuse to use loops from others. It's just so much more fun to create your own drumtracks for example, even when this means they are much simpler than Boris' stuff or Naghavi's pool of sounds. Rene

resurfacing

Greetings all... I've been away for a while - a personal earthquake. I want to give a particular "hello" and thanks to Rene for staying in contact with me and reminding me of the presence and importance of my yello-list family. Though I have remained subscribed, I have not read anything for months. [I have something like 1065 unread messages in this folder!]. I guess that makes me a blind lurker.... I have listened to very little music, too, for the last five months since The Fire (tm). Well, today I am home from work, and I have cued up *all* of my yello music that I have sitting on my main archive machine. xmms tells me I have 34:17:07 [hh:mm:ss], all told! Yeah, there's probably some duplicates in there, but still! Nearly a DAY AND A HALF of yello and yello-related material! I want to say that I regret extremely my inability to bring my yello-ftp server back to life after it was murdered back last July. I have not been able to secure a reliable static IP. The machine has just sat in a corner doing nearly nothing at all for the last six moons. All the accounts and data are still there, so it's not lost. Perhaps some new sugardaddy/mommy will step forward and the server can come to life for all to enjoy again. In the end, there was [and still is] 1.5GB of data! I am with great delight looking forward to working on the remixes! I had such a great time with my effort for the acidplanet.com "tweaker: microsize boy" contest! The remix I did there inspired an entire album from me. Okay, all. Take care and breathe well. --gcr
