ECHO CHAMBER: 5.18.12

0

 

ECHO CHAMBER culls a handful of the week’s news stories which are relevant to the SAE family. 

The above video of AraabMuzik assaulting eardrums and setting some sort of incredible, undocumented speed record with his fingertips has made the internet rounds, but it’s completely worth watching again. The kicker: the reaction from the guy in the white “Unique” tee shirt, who looks like he’s sheepishly entered a staring contest with God. Enjoy this week’s links:

“Median Annual Income Increasing for Recording Engineers” (via SONICSCOOP)

“DJ Spazzes On MIDI Controler to Win Ableton Contest” (via YOUTUBE)

“Master Class: Processing in the Box” (via EMUSICIAN)

Song for Your Weekend:  ”Blame It On The Boogie” by the Jackson 5. Some warm horn sections for the approaching summer. And a little break for your eardrums after that AraabMuzik video.

Have a terrific weekend everyone!
