New contents for the foundation

I uploaded yesterday a new project on the Open Dub Foundation, this project is based on the 'Drum Song' riddim used to record vocal from 'The Gladiators' some time ago.
Feel free to download the project and do a remix !

I still working on the Open Dub Conference project, actually trying to write a license to avoid any issue while organizing 'real' conference, and building a whole infrastructure to easily start running virtual ones.

Hope to be able to run weekly conference soon, first with only one dubmaster (at same time) streaming his performance to other, and then perhaps start doing live collaboration.

Hot dubwise for cold winter

I just finished last week to mix the dubplate from The Gladiators and the remix of Hot Drop 'Tell Me'.

You can access them here (free mp3 download) :

KoCha meets The Gladiators - Mix Song

It's from far away toughest production of the Almighty Dub Records, enjoy !

First open dub virtual conference

What a nice preview of the Murcia gathering that doing a Jam with people that I'm going to meet !

Last week I had the honor to take part of the first ever 'Open Dub Virtual Conference', I wanted to make that from long time and Don Fe (Spain) make it real, so many thanks to him.

For me it's really a historical and technical performance, we was able to do a real 'virtual jam' and record it. Don Fe was mixing the dubwise using his digital mixing desk while streaming audio and video threw Skype to me and KayaGardens, then I used my gypsy to play in live on the dub-mix and stream the result to conference participant. Don Fe was able to hear me playing guitar while mixing dubwise, and fortunately latency wasn't too high.

You can listen to the resulting track of the recorded jam here:
Versionist All-Stars - Open Dub Virtual Conference (20080111) - Track 1

The jam was ~5 hours long and we finished it at 2am, many thanks to Irish Moss to had give us some fantastic exclusive mix.

It's a big step for the Open Dub Foundation Conference project, I hope to make available tools to let people synchronize their time of availability and then do music virtually together.

Hoping to be able to make it run using Ninjam instead of Skype.

Presenting SM9 studio

I've just spent some times last week to take some shots (pictures and a short movie) of the new ADR studio.

We are sharing the studio with an other band, and the chill-out place with some hip-hop DJ/lyricists.

Just take a look to see where we spend our time to do music:


To get a more precise idea of the studio just go to the dedicated gallery.

The studio is situated in the center of Lausanne City (Switzerland), Saint-Martin street, number 9.
