PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION

I had this copied and pasted from an old post. I had forgotten all about it. My apologies for not giving proper credit to the original author. However, this is information that you must begin to understand if the future is one of free thought, press, and speech throughout the world. I edited the long article for clarity. It’s simple. Learn to recognize it Here it is…

Problem-Reaction-Solution, also known as Problem? Reaction. Solution., PRS, or P-R-S, is a variation on the classic Machiavellian fabricated external-enemy strategy for manipulation of public opinion and society, usually by the government. The general theory is based on the Hegelian Dialectic method thesis, antithesis, synthesis, but the specific term is usually only used in the context of a conspiracy theory.

Definition:

Problem-Reaction-Solution is defined as the strategy of creating a crisis (the problem), waiting for a call for action to resolve the crisis (the reaction), then taking action (the solution), supposedly in response, which actually furthers a hidden agenda, usually gaining power. This is often cited as:

0. The government wants power the people will not freely give.
1. The government creates or exploits a problem, blaming it on others.
2. The people react by asking the government for help, willing to give up their rights. Think terrorist attacks, Cyber Terrorism, Domestic Terrorism
3. The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis.

Learn to spot this. Learn to see it when you’re reading the paper, surfing the new on the web, listening to the radio. It’s time for our world to change.  But it does not have to be the world of Orwell’s 1984. We can end this cycle now. Get smart. Be a bad citizen while being a great neighbor.

Anything Box | Worth

Worth is the title track to Anything Box's second album, recorded in Germany with Gareth Jones. It was an ambitious album, too. A-Box was there during the war, away from their families, and without a doubt the lonilness of the journey goes through the songs.

Provided with a bunch of snapshots from the recording and the apartment that Claude S. and Dania Morales shared, we offer up the documentation of Worth. Was it justifiable suffering?

Many thanks to their friend Mike for providing these tidbits into the lives of the people that make up Anything Box!!!

UFO in your backyard? | Real Alien Contact Laws

In 1969 Congress adopted a law (14 CFR Ch. V Part 1211–Extraterrestrial Exposure) which gave the NASA Administrator the arbitrary discretion to quarantine under armed guard any object, person, or other form of life which has been extraterrestrially (my italics, their word) exposed.

This means that if you happen to capture the alien and tie him up in your bathroom, you could still face jail time for exposure. Funny how the laws work, huh?

is a pretty cool band. I loved their videos. They seem like a cross between electro and rap…?

New Year | Studio for 2009 | Album Notes

 

If you have ever wanted to know why albums are so hard to do, and why they take so long, I’ve got a bit of insight. For me, it has always been the pre-production phase that takes the longest. In so far as Anything Box is concerned, this always begins with months of making new sounds and cataloging them. After this comes the task of figuring out how they will be used. I usually make ‘house rules’ for myself to keep me from straying too far from the path I set out. Of course, as the work progresses, the album’s artistic direction will take over and grow its own consciousness. For the new stuff I’ve been working on, I have decided to revisit many paths of the electronic genres with a twist. The new rule is to make stuff on the fly. I want to record as much as possible the sonic ideas that result from simply playing with technology and organically manipulated sounds around the studio. Live singing in the control room is a must. Live sampling is a must. The Laptop will become an instrument, and the main Studio computer the 24 track tape machine. I’ve designed the new setup to be as easy as can be to make things (art) on the fly. However, this is not easy! I’ve got so many toys, you know? I warn you, the next part gets a bit technical… I’m writing this down to make it easier for me… I have to wire this all together this week!

The 2009 Challenges:

The First task is the ability to have all LIVE SOURCES be processed through the Korg KP3 (Laptop Studio, Kaosillator, Drum Machine, Nintendo, Omnichord, Microphones, Radio, CD players) and be recorded back to main Studio Computer. The second task is to monitor incoming signal from my Raven microphone latency-free with playback from Studio Computer. The third is to provide enough input sources for Listen Show. The last one is the easiest and will be solved by the first hurdle. Here we go…

So, all sources will go to the console. That’s easy. The second part of the equation is sending the signals to the KP3. That part is easy, too. They would go out via Aux 1+2 (stereo). In this way, anything coming into the mixer can be processed by the KP3 in varying degrees and then recorded. This solves part of the first task. Now the issue of monitoring and recording this signal… In my case, I would like the KP3 signal to be sent directly to the line inputs of my Tube Preamp, a TL Audio EQ1. This way, I can actually ‘color’ and tone-shape the signal before being recorded. By then sending this signal onto the TC electronic Konnect24D’s (K24D from now on) inputs 1+2, the signal is passed unchanged to a channel on the board. It looks like:

All Sources –> Aux 1+2 –> KP3 –> Monitor* –> EQ1 –> K24D 1+2 –> Console (playback)*

* By not sending this ‘playback’ channel out of Aux 1+2 we avoid a feedback loop. Why? Although the signal is being sent to the KP3 first and the computer second, the ‘playback’ or ‘monitoring’ of the signal is not. It just goes out of the main outs of the console. Just don’t turn up the aux sends on that channel! So, to recap… I hear or play something live that sounds good? Made a great loop between the radio and the Omnichord? I can now process it and record the signal. Cool. That’s the first task completed. Onwards I go…

The second task is to hear ‘playback’ from the Studio Computer and monitor it on the console, and to also monitor the Raven through the EQ1 without latency off the TK24D. Well, anything going to inputs 3+4 on the TK24D goes straight out, so by taking the signal and routing it back to a channel on the console would allow me the luxury of monitoring the Raven (latency-free) onto a channel, while playback tracks are monitored off of outputs 1+2 of the TK24D. This would look like this:

Raven –> EQ1 –> TK24D 3+4 –> Console (‘playback’ from TK24D is present from outputs 1+2) **

** Since playback is coming from outputs 1+2 of the TK24D, this leaves 3+4 free to pass the signal onto a channel on the console. I now have two signals, playback and microphone. So I can set playback levels as I like without compromising the signal that the computer is recording, and I can sing live! All that I need to remember about this setup is that we are recording “Input 3” in Nuendo. This setup of course works perfectly in Ableton Live since I plan to use it as a ‘sampler’ as well as a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

So that’s all for now, insofar wiring is concerned. The console, an Allen & Heath Zed14, arrives next week, as does my Kaosillator. As far as The Listen Show goes, everything is treated as sources just as they were before, with the added ease of playing the music from my Laptop instead of having to burn and CDs. More room for guests, too.

New Studio for new album..?

Because of the season, it has been a bit difficult to finish the studio, but it is almost ready. I began a rig, tore it down, and started again in an effort to make the studio a good place to work.

I hate the fact that everything seems to take longer than it needs to, and all I can say is… ARRRRRRRRRR.

Today I worked on the microphone I will be recording my vocals with. Oh, I didn’t tell you? I’m going to sing the next album live in the studio. The idea is to avoid the vocal booth and sing as though it were live, with the speakers blaring. This is also part of my new methods of recording.

I tried about 25 different mics for this approach, and so far the one that won my heart was the ElectroVoice 767A. I have gutted it and will be wiring the capsule within the body of a steel 1950’s EV radio microphone that I’ll be using. This way, it will look pretty in videos… Silly I know. But it is fun and the vibe is good for me…

I finished a new theremin, and I am on the hunt for a few tidbits, then I will reveal the next laboratory in pictures and video. Speaking of pictures and video, we are taking some new bands shots this Sunday. It looks like it will be lots of fun.

Circuit bending a shortwave radio is next…

Fred Thompson | The Economy Explained

As sarcastic and funny as this is, it really isn’t. The reason I posted it is because in very simple English, Fred explains the financial burden that we are about to place on our children, and the regulatory chipped world that is to follow.

Now I understand if this sounds harsh. The video is not. I actually understood the problem better now that he explained what it is. I like what he has to say, an yes I’m about as tired of it as you are.  But we all owe ourselves a favor to think about the future we are creati9ng right now. The future begins with the decisions made in the present or overlooked in the past.

My question is this: How are we going to explain to our children that the world that they live in, where they were sold into slavery was created so as to ease the concerns of elite? And worse, to make us comfortable in the process. Are we OK with this?

New Album? | New Toys

 

So I have almost wrapped up my new rig, which is a hybrid synthesizer set-up that I intend to use on the new album. My old friends, namely the ESQ are back as I wrote in a previous post, and since then I’ve found a few worthy additions to my software instrument setup. But recently, I also acquired another VSS-30, which is my favorite sampler in the world. Additionally, I have been using my Nintendo DS more and more. Add to the mix my Kaos Pad (KP3), and you have the makings of a cool rig.

But of course, I didn’t stop there. I recently bought the Omnichord, which is really warm, and an MFB Synth II (100% analog synth). My Gakken and optical theremin (self-made) of course rounds it all out.

Last night I made some videos to show how I turned these things into a working writing rig. And it is pretty cool. Lots of flashing lights and video synthesis. I will post these. The new studio looks like a crazy lab, so I think I’m going rename it… Something but I don’t know what just yet.

With this, I am hoping to finish up two things which stand in the way of progress. The first is Volume One, which we hope to wrap up soon, and the other is Sharewear, which will have most of the material from the first two and some surprises for all.

The artwork will feature a sketch by Werner Von Braun that has not been seen in public since 1952. But that’s another story for another day as this unfolds…

A New Arsenal | Analog vs Digital… Again…

During the California show on Saturday, some people noticed parts of my new rig, which was totally intentional of course. Some people asked me questions outside, and some were simply perplexed, so I thought I would shed a light on a few things…

A few days before the show, I got an Omnichord, which I won in an auction on EBay.

I was not planning on using it just days before a show, but when Paul and I worked out Lady In Waiting using it, the Kaos Pad 3 as a drum machine, and his guitar… Well. It was magic. And so we sprung it on the audience on Saturday with only one rehearsal between us. I loved it. But! Just because I strapped it on… don’t fucking call it a Keytar. It’s not a fucking Keytar. I don’t like keytars. I even despise the word Keytar. It is an analog device, not a controller. IHFK <— guess what that stands for? :0

Also in the mix was my Nintendo DS, which saw lots of use that night as both an atmospheric sound affecter and for some pads during I Felt the Pain and Soul On Fire. Somebody’s voice came through the crowd, asking… “Oh my God… Is that a Nintendo DS up there?” Yep. It was. Mine is the red and black, but here’s a pic of the black one…

The idea of having this little thing do what it does through my Kaos Pad was like getting my first analog synthesizer. I LOVE this THING. I plan on using more than one in the future. I’m almost certain of it.

The device I did not get to use was my Gakken, which is a little analog synthesizer that I got with a magazine out of Japan. That little guy is sick, and I planned on using it during Jubilation, but somehow it went on being muted (or I did not hear it in my monitors), which was rather bunk, but it happens. I had it hooked up to the Kaos Pad and it was going to do a theremin solo thing. :( 

 

Yeah, that’s the one. I love it, but it’s not really what I should have on stage with me. So I got this little monster instead for next time… Just out, too! Dave Smith’s Mopho kiddies! 100% Analog!

Now I’m going to make some additional noise… Ooh. Ah… But seriously. I am. This is a dream come true. It’s small, it’s phat, it’s small. Four Oscillators… “All you need is Love…”

If my other instrument would only work, I would be in heaven, but I haven’t given up on it. I don’t accept failure. It’s simply too cool. I made a FLASH BASED sampler, and it is amazing in every way… Except I hate controlling it from a mouse. I tried to do it with a wireless tablet, and it worked, but the response was too slow for my taste. I need to send MIDI to FLASH, and guess what… It is not part of FLASH! Which is a shame. I won’t give up on this though. The computer is part of what I do, so this seems like a logical step. Oh, BTW, I did play some graphic synth stuff via MIDI on Saturday, and that worked amazingly well. If I incorporate the visuals with Mopho I might have something really too cool for words. But I digress. I will put it up on our site soon so that anyone can play it. This was my dream… Sigh.

The other question I was asked was my preference… Surprise… Analog vs Digital. I don’t like that question, because in answering it I appear to give one more props than the other. But I guess this is inevitable, isn’t it? So here’s my view, the final and definitive manifest of what is what…

I love analog. I love digital. They are similar, they are different. They are like twins, only different. I love both. Each has a weakness the other exploits. Each has a strength the other employs. OK?

So don’t make me decide. I won’t. I love both. Forever.

Dan Rather | American Hero

When I say this little video, I was quite moved, and it gave me a little push that says what I’m about to do here is a good thing. He deserves your attention, and please note… If you don’t know who he is… Well, let’s just say nothing more than the greatest reporter alive today.

Understand that what he’s saying, conspiracy theorists have been saying for years. But who knew? Who paid attention? This is a fine example of an American who sees something wrong, and implores his countrymen to do something about it.

This is my last political post on this blog. From now on…
