Bill Smith and Vincent Saletto podcast@alphastatic.com yes Alpha Static Featuring "The Wrong God" from Brenda Merry of Vela Uniform. Welcome to our first podcast. We'll be figuring out things as we go. Let's consider this a "Soft Opening"... wait soon for our GRAND OPENING within Mid March! http://alphastatic.com/media/0001InYourBasement.mp3 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 23:00:00 CDT 16:53 electronic, music, club, dance, trance, tech, keyboards, synth, DAW, original, Skype, Apple yes Alpha Static This episode we prove that you're never too old for rock and roll... or trance... or techno... or anything with a funky beat. We introduce you to a great find in a London DJ named Ruth Flowers, Vinnie expresses his love for Ableton Live, and then proceeds to blather incessantly about how Herb Alpert is still timeless after all these years. Finally, we play a couple of snippets of our tracks and invite YOU, dear listener, to contact us and see what you can add to the magic. The internet gives us all a voice, and we want you to sing with it! http://alphastatic.com/media/0002MamyRock.mp3 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:09:00 CDT 18:35 electronic, music, club, dance, trance, tech, keyboards, synth, DAW, original, Ableton, MamyRock yes Alpha Static Looking back at what got us here today. In this episode we wax poetic about some selected tracks that brought us from tone deaf bastards in our past, to the tone deaf bastards you are listening to now! Plus a glimpse ahead into some beats we're droppin' in the future! http://alphastatic.com/media/0003UpTheRiverNotDownTheStreet.mp3 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:38:00 CST 40:52 electronic, music, club, dance, trance, tech, keyboards, synth yes Alpha Static A joke to start off, and some noise to end. It's funny. Rock and Roll has been Rock and Roll for years now. So many different sounds can be considered Rock and Roll, but in electronic music, you move a kick drum the wrong way, and suddenly you're creating a new artform. In an answer to an email we've received, we pontificate on this, and begin to make noises of our own regardless of what they sound like.
