QUARANTIME WITH MALANDRA JR.

It all began when he studied the piano and the clarinet at the conservatory and after he graduated with honors and won several awards, he performed in various orchestras and chamber ensembles. The Italian Simonpietro took his skills into another dimension where he started to create his own music and perform in many clubs. his music got signed on labels such as Solomun’s Diynamic Music, Sven Vath’s Cocoon, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, Oliver Koletzki’s Stil Vor Talent, Defected, and more.. His vast knowledge in classical music and his love for electronics were the result of a sofisticated product, a melodic approach, topped with rhythm and bucolic shades, all in his preferred minor keys.

QUARANTIME WITH GUZY

I met GUZY at Per-vurt Studio last year and it was very unfortunate that we did not have days to spend together as it was great to have him around and discuss matters related to electronic music with him. Not only he has a pure heart, a clean mind, and a crystal soul, he is very well equipped with knowledge and passion to what he does and loves the most, and is totally immersed and driven by emotions. I’ve had a chat with GUZY asking him about his quaranTIME and how he’s going through it, as well as reviewing with him his favorite plugins & DAW, and delivering his advises to the upcoming talents.

QUARANTIME WITH RALPH NASR

A good number of DJs excavate into the electronic music colliery and get out all covered with coal dust and dirt. It’s very rare and almost a day-dream-like scene to witness a deep digging miner so polished and spotless. Ralph Nasr is one of those very few pristine DJs whose silence hides a deep blue sea of goodness, and whose sore eyes gaze at his own declaration of self awareness through his experiences. I’ve had a chat with Ralph and asked him about Vinyl, quaranTIME, his favorite tracks and much more. Can’t wait until we go back to Per-vurt School and discuss his Vinyl DJ Course!

QUARANTIME WITH MADJAM

There are people who discover a passion about mixing and making music, therefore become potential “artists”, and there are people who are born with an inner magnet, a potential that attracts art itself which gets manifested through them. Madjam is one of those agents of love who have always been carrying, and carried by, that force of unity on which art is based, since the genesis of the electric music scene in Lebanon. I’ve had a chat with the mad jammer asking him about his quaranTIME and how he’s going through it, as well as reviewing with him his favorite hits, plugins, DAW, and delivering his advises to the upcoming talents..

SYNTHESIS TYPES AND METHODS

Sound design and synthesis play a major role in audio production especially when the producer is defining a sound signature for himself or his project, and this is where synthesizers, whether analog or digital, come into play. Since the 70’s, synthesizers have been emerging and expanding in forms, types, and methodologies, and with the modern computer technologies, soft-synth plugins widened the choices and combined different techniques in synthesis offering way more complex options and routing capabilities. Let’s take a look at the top 5 types of synthesis: Wavetable, Additive, Subtractive, FM, and Granular Synthesis

WHAT IS A FLAT STUDIO MONITOR

Whether you are producing and mixing a project or simply recording your voice or instrument, a set of speakers are essentially required, however not any kind of speakers, but flat studio monitors. Why are they called flat? It is because they have a flat frequency response when it comes to the reproduction of the signal they are receiving from one end to vibrate accordingly on the other end. Speakers receive an analog signal coming from the analog domain such as a mixer or a microphone, and translate that signal and vibrate accordingly in the acoustic domain, the domain of air molecules. This act of translation affect your listening experience and therefore alter your decision in producing, mixing, and mastering music.
