Binaural Samba Squad Audio Documentary
March 07, 2008 17:19Play Podcast 2 This 'cast is an exploration of the world of Binaural recording. Its best listened to on headphones. I'm using a binaural microphone set up. 2 microphones that look like earbuds go in my ears. The result is a listening experience that spatially transcends normally recorded stereo, since it accurately reproduces the effect of hearing a sound in person, given the 360° nature of how human ears pick up nuance in the sound waves. Binaural recordings can very convincingly repro...
Samba Squad launches it's first Podcast and celebrates the birthday of one member and the return of another.
February 25, 2008 07:57Play Podcast 1 Today's rehearsal was unusual. David lead it for the first half and then Rick came in for the rest. The first unusual thing I found when I arrived was Christian playing tamborim. Christian is our youngest member. He joined Samba Squad when he was 9 and today was his birthday. He is now 14 and very talented. Cliche alert: "where does the time go!" He is a surdo master, usually playing tercera or the surdo kit. So I watched him as he played the tamborim like a pro and asked him "...
New Year's Eve with the World Renown Samba Squad!
February 19, 2008 04:27I got the video from Rick. It came to me as a dvd and after a bit of tweeking and tinkering, I posted it online. I decided not to go with youtube video because that quality is pretty low, so I'm using a site called STAGE 6. It uploads AVI files. It's best watched on FIREFOX with the DivX Web Player. If your browser can't play it, go to STAGE 6 and get the DivX Web Player. After you get it all together, it will be worth watching. New Year's Eve with the World Renown Samba Squad! Uploaded by ...
Funky Ride
February 18, 2008 03:04Well we're back into samba. I guess most of us took an "unofficial" break after the success of the Lula Lounge gig. Not all of us since Rick continued showing those who showed up last Sunday, new breaks. There were a lot of new faces mainly in the caixa section. good to see them. This is the new ride for our funk. And for the samba 2 new breaks. No names for them yet but here is what they sound like for now. warts and all. and also
"Khawuleza, mama, Khawuleza"
February 18, 2008 02:02The gang all went to check out Hugh Masekela on Friday. I have to confess i didn't know the first thing about him. But we've been having an amazing musical journey (with one missfire: DRUM!) and I was hoping for the best. Dani told me this was the music her mum would listen to when Dani was a kid, (which really raised the coolness level of Dani's mum to another level.) Hugh was born in South Africa in 1939. That makes him just shy of 70 yrs. But watching him on stage performing just confirms...
Momo's gone Funky!
February 13, 2008 04:24When I grow up I want to be just like my heroe: King Momo, El Rey del Carnaval. This dude is so supercool he doesn't have to go to the gym. He eats and drinks (probably smokes too) He dances like a fiend, stays up late and next day he does it all over again. All the women want him and all the guys want to be him. King Momos, King Momus, (Rei Momo in Portuguese or Rey Momo in Spanish) is considered the king of Carnivals in numerous Latin American festivities, mainly in Brazil and Colombia....
