Re: Fever Ray, album of the year?

free app with live's video time-stretching abilities?

Re: Cheap Keyborad for note writing

i tried out a nanokey once, and found it unplayable - the action on the keys is identical to laptop keys. i use the ekeys 37 http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-E-Keys-37-MIDI-Keyboard/dp/B0001A9C5I ...it's basically the same keyboard as korg's microkontrol, except that it's not velocity-sensitive, which ...

Re: artists similar to 1.) The Knife, 2.) Modeselektor?

Re: music theory

A very personal, purely anecdotal suggestion... As a classically-trained musician who makes EDM for fun, I would suggest learning only the most basic theory: scales, modes, time signatures, and leave it at that. My "pop" sensibility and natural language as a composer was ruined after about...
