Is it just me?

2008-07-02T07:00:27Z

I noticed tonight that there are 762 members in this Belly Dance Electronica tribe.

I posted that we would be doing a live Belly Dance Industrial performance with a lot of electronics
in it within shooting distance of the SF and Monterey Bay areas and
I was shocked that not one person came to the gig from this tribe.

Are you all only interested in recorded music only? Is there just not a strong connection
with people actually playing music like this in public or have I just overstayed my welcome here.

I'm not overly sensitive about this, but I'm perplexed a little.

The gig was extremely well recieved by most who came but there just weren't very many belly dancers there.

Using Field Recordings from the Middle East

2008-06-27T06:36:29Z

Howdy

I'm heading to Cairo in a few weeks and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience getting some field recordings to add to their collections of samples.

Right now I'm debating on a digital recorder and think I'm seriously considering the Samson Zoom H2 and a boatload of SD Cards.

Anyone have realtime experience with this or similar products, and/or discussing the options with the locals in Cairo? Might street musicians be amenable to a little sampling?

Heck, I'll be happy to get city street noise, but that's my experimental roots coming out.

Celtic electronica

2008-04-21T11:40:39Z

Hi there,

I've googled and searched and I just cannot seem to find some decent Celtic electronica for fire dancing. There used to be a musician who had a single on myspace called "Tekno Train" but he wouldn't respond to messages requesting to buy the song (isn't that the point of putting your stuff on myspace?).

Any ideas?

Thanks, in advance.

Jef Stott's new album & Western Canada Tour

2008-02-20T17:52:11Z

Six Degrees recording artist Jef Stott is releasing his new full-length album this spring. In support of this release, I am helping him hook up some tour dates in BC and Western Canada in late may - early june.

I am interested in networking with anyone in Nanimo, Tofino, Sunshine Coast, Whistler, Kelowna, Nelson, Penticton, Vernon, Kamloops and as far as Calgary who might be able to give some leads on promoters/venues that would take on a booking of this fantastic artist.

check out: http://www.jefstott.com and http://www.myspace.com/jefstott

Jef will probaly be touring with Dumbek master Drumspyder (http://www.drumspyder.com/).

These two are versatile enough to do just live acoustic sets, suitable for small concerts or Haflas, or even in-home shows, to nightclubs for just djing, and then into their full life PA rig with laptops, Oud and drum. So- there's lots of options and flexibility for different events/venues/promoters.

Please message me personally if you can help out!

VST Synth/sampler recommendation

2008-02-07T15:17:55Z

I'm finding it difficult to find good samples or VST plug-ins with excellent Arabic instruments. I'm currently using Cakewalk SONAR (since I was a big Cakewalk fan back in the...*ahem*...DOS days. Yeah, dating myself)

I'm kind of set on drums 'for now' with Hadeeth I & II and Wizoo Darbuka, plus plenty of samples from friends. Could always use more, but I'm extremely interested in usable samples of mizmar, oud, ney, kanun, etc.

Anyone with any input? I'm considering the following:
- MOTU Ethno Instrument
- Sibelius Sounds: World Music
- East West Quantum Leap RA
- Orient World
- Ethno World 3

All are varying in price. Some include loops, most include drums.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

best MP3 player? X-post

2008-01-22T21:05:15Z

Hi everyone!
I need some input. I am totally tech. impaired and I need to get up to date on things. I want to get an MP3 player but don't know which one to get. I'd like to know your personal experiences. My computer won't let me burn CD's anymore. I'd like to get a player that can hold a lot of songs. I guess the iPod only works with iTunes. I've never used iTunes before. Does it have a good selection? I like really out there stuff, mostly Industrial. It wouldn't seem a good buy if there isn't much of that to download. Also ease of use? Basically I'll be playing this sucker in the car while making my LOOONG trek to class everyday.
Thanks,
Val

I'm looking for some Indian Electronica on itunes

2008-01-18T01:56:42Z

Does anyone have any suggestions for some Indian Electronica on itunes?

I already have Bollywood Lounge(on cd) by Don Shiva and Tantra Lounge Volumes 3 and 4(also on cd) by various artists including Anoushka Shankar, Petrol Bomb Samosa, and Natacha Atlas. I have some music by Cheb i Sabah, too. I'm not sure if his music would be considered Indian Electronica, but it's really good!

I'd love some suggestions! Oh, and anything with female vocals would be great :)

Thanks!!

Sharaab: Can't keep him to myself forever..

2007-12-02T00:41:47Z

My Atlanta dance troupe, Abhushana, has kept this guy our own little secret for a year (we knew him so we got his music pre-release). But now his CD "Evolution" is out and I have to share, else what kind of supportive fan would I be?

http://www.sharaabmusic.com/

You can get Evolution on itunes, cd baby, or amazon. I recommend giving a good listen to the tracks "High Life" and "Nosering". I think I've danced Nosering to death already.

From CD Baby:
Sharaab's signature sound incorporates elements of Indian classical and folk as well as Middle and Far Eastern music, which he integrates seamlessly with contemporary electronica, ambient, downtempo, breakbeat, and drum'n'bass styles.

Shimmy in the Shadows (July 1, MA)--call for dancers, vendors!

2007-05-23T18:40:52Z

Hi all,

I am very excited to announce that I am putting on another gothic belly dance event here in the Boston area--Arlington, to be exact: Shimmy in the Shadows! The incomparable Aepril Schaile will be teaching a workshop on her fabulous veilwork, and then we'll have an honest-to-goodness gothic hafli. Want to perform? Contact me asap for a dance slot, requests will be taken on a first come, first serve basis and the number of performances will be limited, because open floor dancing will be an important part of this event.

Also, if you vend anything you think might be of interest to gothic belly dancers and those who love them, you are more than welcome to drop me a line about vending at the event. I'm really looking forward to this, I felt like Raks Spooki back in the fall really helped create a sense of community for those of us exploring the darker side of dance and I'm excited to help keep that feeling alive! ... er, I mean, undead ;-)

(see event announcement in this tribe for more information on the event itself)

You create it here:

Example of one:

Do you know a place where they play ethno techno music and have links to songs in MP3 streaming format? (legal MP3 streaming site) or a place where I can buy individual songs in MP3 format?

Thanks

what's up with itunes??

2007-04-23T21:42:57Z

So, I did some searches for cool BD music I've been hearing about (Oojami, Pentaphobe, Zaina, Turbo Tabla) and everything I look up is listed but not available in the U.S. Does anyone know what the deal is? Is this a licensing issue?

I almost never buy actual CDs any more so this is very frustrating!

Need music suggestions

2007-04-08T11:30:59Z

Hi all!

So, my car got broken into and 7 years of dance music was stolen. Most of it was not backed up (I know, no excuse). Anyway, a lot of it was music that I had just acquired over the years and I'm unsure of the names of the artists and titles of songs.

I'm slowly but surely starting to rebuild my collection (heavy sigh), but I sure could use some ideas on new music! I'm a tribal dancer who regularly performs to Cheb i Sabbah, DJ Lorin Bassnectar, Karsh Kale, Amon Tobin,Ekova, dub step DJ's, etc... but I really love heavily percussive, industrial sounding world fusion music.

Can anyone suggest some artists or DJ's that I should look into? Oh, and if you could also suggest where I can find the music, I would appreciate it so much! Good dance karma!
Thank you!

Sherri

live industrial belly dance music this Monday in Santa Cruz

2007-03-31T21:30:01Z

with guest artists, Craig McCoullough (trumpets/laptop treatments) and Robin Jacobs (guitar playing ex-founding
member of Switchblade Symphony) my project nO thiN -g (John Connell and Rick Walker) will be
performing live at the BOX (SC's longest running goth club) this coming Monday night with
Japan's the Royal Dead.

This will mark the first time that the BOX has had ilve music so we are excited about changing that tradtiion.

Also, for the sake of tribaly and gothic belly dancers everywhere, we will be performing to the rhythms
of Beledi, Nawari, Karsilama, Samai, Shabia and other traditional dancing rhythms.

Come put your costumes on and show these uneducated goths and rivetheads what beautiful tribal belly dancing is all about.

Anyone in costume gains free admittance. If you want to perform, just come up and ask me........I'll be behind the drums.
don't be shy.

The BOX is at the BLUE LAGOON directly across the Pacific Garden Mall from the SC Bus Depot in a nice neighborhood
with a lot of free parking.

recommend any traditional sounding electronica?

2007-03-24T08:34:09Z

Can anyone recommend some tradition sounding music based electronica? I mean traditional middle-eastern music with some nice electronic stylings that still is recognizeably traditional... does that make sense?

It is not electronica presay but it is incredable music! Please visit Spectal Voices web sight and listen to Jim Cole's overtone singing. I think it would make incredable belly dance music. I would pair it with tabla. He has an expantion project and if enoghe people ask him I think that he might consider it. Please go to the sight and take a look and a listen.

working on a new track for nO thiN -g

2007-03-02T07:58:10Z

I've been working on a new track for the nO thiN -g project with John Connell.

It is not a middleeastern rhythm per se but uses a cuban rhythm that has a very
strong influence from middleeastern music.

It's a work in progress but I thought you all might enjoy listening to it.

It's downloadable in mp3 form for free (43 megs, I believe) at

DJ Rupture and Filistine mixes

2007-02-15T02:26:21Z

[Cross-posted w/edits to Hip-Hop Bellydance tribe]

...I've mentioned Rupture one 'round here, yet remained astonished that many dancers I know haven't heard of these guys. Not quite electronica, or world music, or hip-hop, or a lot of different things, I think my description of Filistine goes for both -- "one of the good guys in the realm of world music re-workings and re-imaginings, and the set is an amazing, high-powered drill, pokin’ holes in the walls separating cultures."
They both have a bunch of free music online, and I made two recent posts in my dance blog, APOSTATE, that point to some of that music:

for those interested in dancing to live Industrial/Middleastern/Gothic/Electronica/LiveLooping fusion music

2007-01-08T00:30:29Z

I've very excited to announce that my project nO thiN-g will be playing

Heavy Industrial oriented traditional Belly Dancing music

for any and all to dance to
at this week's DEFIANCE, Friday (midnight performance), November 17th
at Club Caution (516 Front Street, Santa Cruz)

I will be joined by Switchblade Symphony founding member, Robin Jacobs on guitar and
the amazing John Connell (multi-instrumentalist) on bass guitar.

I've been disappointed that a lot of tribal and gothic belly dancing music always seems so ambient and new-agey at times
so I wanted to do something a little darker and aggressive yet till use rhythms that anyone who's ever even had a beginning
belly dancing class would be able to dance to.

All the rhythms will be traditional......................all the sounds will NOT be.

I hope you can make it, I hope you feel like dancing.

Urceus Exit from Vancouver ( www.UrceusExit.com ) a band in the strong tradition of Vancouver bands Skinny Puppy and
Front Line Assembly will be opening the show. This is a strong live industrial band. Don't miss them!

yours, Rick Walker

Lyrics? "Heer" on Desert Grooves

2006-10-02T21:48:08Z

I have been so aggrevated, looking and looking and looking online to try and find lyrics to the song "Heer" by Nitin Sawhney, on the cd "Desert Grooves". They are impossible to find!

Anyone know where I can find the lyrics?

There's an Indian story, kind of similar to Romeo and Juliet, about Heer and Ranjha.
If this is what the song is about, I'd really like to know!

When I heard the song...I was thinking "What does this song feel like it means?"...and I thought it felt like:
Incredibly beautiful love, but with some kind of sadness, and maybe even death...but the love is stronger than any love.
That's what I feel like when I hear that song...

Then, I searched around and found that Heer story...and it would fit in perfectly with what I IMAGINED the song means...but I don't really know if that is what it's about or not.

The song is listed as being by Nitin Sawhney...So, I looked him up, and there is nothing about lyrics written on the website of his. There wasn't really a clear contact email address I could send such a question to...

If anyone can help, I would like to know what the song really, officially is about, and find an English translation to the lyrics!

Also, ANY of the songs on Desert Groove...I'd like those lyric translations, too. I haven't searched for them yet, but if they are as hard to find as Heer lyrics, I'll be sad!

Thanks,
Amethyst

electronica percussionists

2006-08-22T17:11:04Z

I play darbuka and perform live with electronica DJs, often for belly dancers. I am in the SF Bay Area.

Is there anyone else out there who considers themself an "electronica percussionist"?

If so, I am interested to know your experiences - you joys and challenges, what drums you play, what equipment you use, how you rehearse, etc.

2006-06-19T15:30:17Z

It's the weekend of July 22 on the gold creek ranch, 45 minutes from LA. it's going to be 3 sound stages, sick ass performance art and dance exhibits, black light temple and a cafe with a spoken word/hip hop/acoustic stage.
blah blah blah, etc. I'm also working on a TV series about the Burner-esque lifestyle and how art can transform and transcend that I'm going to be shooting a pilot episode of the party.

please get back to me at 310.435.6963 or on tribe if you're interested.

thanx,
