muzikDEN – Episode 3 (November 2006)

Posted on 29. Nov, 2006 in All, muzikDEN, Video | No Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I have a good excuse: several weeks in Sri Lanka filming in a flood and monsoons, a terribly ill editor/cameraman who was out of commission for most of this month’s muzikDEN, and a host of other important projects (including a great study on Web 2.0 technologies and trends in the cultural realm – more on that later!). On the upside, my travels have exposed me to a huge number of films to review, but now to the subject at hand… :-)

The third episode of muzikDEN, the monthly vidcast about all things musical, is now up at commandN.tv and muzikDEN.com! You can also see all episodes to date in the muzikDEN episode category (see lower right of commandN.tv page).

Posted on 16. Sep, 2006 in All, muzikDEN, Video | 2 Comments

Well now you can see firsthand why I’ve been a little slack on these postings recently – muzikDEN Episode 1 is finally online!!! (also available at commandn.tv)

muzikDEN is about enabling the music community. muzikDEN’s premiere episode has music management tips, note choices for basslines, scratching basics, drum plugins, a review of Outkast’s Idlewild, web picks, and more! So take a look and let me know what you think. We’re aiming at releasing the first week of each month so we should have some more music industry goodness for you in just a couple of weeks. If you’ve got any segment ideas or other feedback then comment away. :-)

Welcome to the muzikDEN!
