Our crew decided that as a fallback plan we would record the LIVE SESSION at the creatures | crawl layer, where on the 16th they would be hosting a live performance event where everyone would be in pyjamas for a pyjama party, an ideal aesthetic situation for a live video shoot. However, for the comfort of the guests, the organizer of the event preferred that we organize to shoot with all the decor and all during the sound check to test, and then feel out whether to shoot the full audience or not after that. So we settled for that, however, noone at the Equipment Distribution facility knew how to find the 24 channel JoeCo recording unit, and so we would have to fall back on a Focusrite Saffire Pro 10, with 8 ins. Not ideal however we are able to run all the audience mics as a stereo mix reducing the needed amount of inputs on the rack. The video will be shot my 'Snake' on his 5d camera which has great resolution.

VOX ELECTRONIQUE || ENTERING THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE


REPORTING: #EDWINPHENIX
LOCATION: UNKNOWN
PROJECT: Week 5 Progress Report
DATE: 23/2/13

BEGIN: REPORT

Have come to a clearing in the sonic jungle. It's been a while of insane audio madness, so I'm going to sum up the past month or so in one report. We began our endeavor into the jungle searching for the entrance to the "PARALLEL UNIVERSE". We would find the clues that would lead us to this universe through our first messengers 'Shintaro'. They are a DJ duo that we were going to have on our radio show at first, but then it turned out that they no longer perform live, however one of them would aid us by being a panelist on the show itself. In order to find the gate to the Parallel Universe it seems that we would have to find some other audio prophets to guide us to the entrance. We then were confronted with the other wordly Parallels, and Saturns.For some time we had trouble finding the appropriate time to meet with these audio Prophets, but we set our sights for the 20th of February. We had meetings with our crew on how to approach this mission, and as the date approached it was concluded that we would need the help of 
Lido Pimienta a breaking Canadian electronic music artist originally based out of Colombia [https://soundcloud.com/lido-pimienta/sets/lido-pimienta-color] and
Tom Avis from the electronic music blog Silent Shout [http://silentshout.ca/]. We tried approach the gateway pre maturely, but were unable to get the necessary access and equipment due to competition from other crews of prospectors on similar quests, although ours would be the holiest of all. With only 7 hours total available time to prep for our entrance to the Parallel Universe we had to come up with an entrance plan - this would be the ingeniously created VOX ELECTRONIQUE stingers created by agent Eli Roths. As I was the head of the team I took the role of hosting all of our audio Prophets while the rest of the crew tackled the technical side. We were able to get footage of the entrance to this Parallel Universe curdosy of last minute crew member Leo Ashton, however the audio was sabotaged along with our protools session - although we had tested it in advance our system crashed. I suppose this is what happens when you try to access something as heavy as the 'Parallel Universe'. The Electric Eels crew was however pleased with the outcome despite some technological hiccups that were unavoidable. The only problem was the documentation of the event being sabotaged by cosmic forces. The prophets Parallels and Saturns were very happy along with the panel hosts Lido and Tom Avis and will continue to stay in communication into the future.

Aside from this, Edwin [speaking in third person] has had a continued repor with Lido Pimienta and will likely be assisting her as his next directive. After crossing through to the Parallel Universe he feels more than confident in his ability to create a documentation of her audio Prophesies in the form of an ep which will precede the full length album entitled La Papesa. This EP will be used for performances on CBC and for touring with the Montreal electronique artist BOOGAT [https://soundcloud.com/boogat]. Many more exciting news to come, going back into the audible jungle, slowly approaching the mountain which will hold unprecedented audio magic.

BACK IN THE JUNGLE || WEEK 1

REPORTING: #EDWINPHENIX
LOCATION: #KEVINFEVER STUDIOS FLA
PROJECT: Week 1 Progress Report
DATE: 15/1/13

BEGIN: REPORT


Brainstorming ideas for the Spirit Live radio broadcast we will be putting together for the BDC directive. Looking into a couple U.S touring acts to book into the show - some friends of friends. Also looking into getting 1 or 2 duos to either play or battle off for the interview. I have some experience working with Drums and Bass duos I SMELL BLOOD and KIZ AND LEGIN when I brought them down to New York for a showcase. It would be interesting to recreate this in a Canadian studio. I was thinking about putting up Tonka Puma with Kiz and Legin instead perhaps, also another drums and bass duo. Also, we have been looking into getting Odonis Odonis and Shintaro [http://shintaro.bandcamp.com/] as potential acts.

We're in good shape.
