Hey People of the Future!

2009 is all up on us and unless you are a Microsoft Zune than we are all recovered from eggnog-holiday gift-wrapped goodness and right back to work/school! So Let’s ring in the start of a new Year with some live music!

Saturday January 10th, 200Nine-
Spike Hill
184 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn NY
FREE!!!
8pm- Elijah B Torn (your humble narrator)
9pm- Gold Streets
10pm- Hans Blix

I have yet to see Gold Streets but apparently they kick much ass. I always love me some Hans Blix! They always kick ass live and you can purchase their album (that I mixed) or check out some of their new material here. kickass.

also- For “You Are Lucky I am Not a Vigilante”, I did chose NOT to make any CD’s and put my album on iTunes as a digital only release. However you can still pick one up at my shows in a very special form…

what is the best way to hide contraband?! in Toys of course!!

so….I chose to put my album as fully CD quality 16bit 44k aiff files on a 2GB usb mini drive INSIDE a special Elijah B Torn rubbery ducky! Since it is a harddrive with more than enough room this also has pre-ripped unlocked mp3s, the preview video, FULL quality artwork (so you can print it out and put it on your college dorm wall next to Van Gogh and Bob?) AS well as a super special old school interactive printout you can put in the MAILbox and send to people you love (to hate)! PLUS its a reuseable 2GB harddrive!!! all for the low low price of a CD!!! (cat not included)

it seems that NASA seemed to have a similar idea too….click here

“Great News Everybody!”

Micah Frank of Puremagnetik is hosting the Ableton Live NYC User Group for May and they have asked me to be the featured artist. kickass!

This is a great opportunity to see how i do what i do and make the noises i make and to hear some music and hangout with other like-minded Ableton Live users. I plan on divulging some of my secrets of how i use Ableton Live to bounce my bass sounds off of Scalar Electromagnetic waves as well filtering drums through underwater SONAR grids! I will also discuss how Ableton Live helped me conceive and write my new album as a live electronic extravaganza.

NOTE: This is an all skill level event so even if you have just opened Ableton Live once or are just forging into digital audio for the first time there will be no stupid questions and a ton to learn. From the NYC User Groups I have attended in the past, it is a truly musically diverse and extremely talented group so come on out!

The agenda for the evening is as follows:

1. Elijah B Torn artist profile
2. Elijah will play his set and discuss how he uses Live
3. Q&A with attendees about Elijah and Puremagnetik

Time and place:
Friday May 30th 7-9pm
