Global Beat - Letter #9 | Marco Mohamed

Ok People!

Hi and welcome the 9th release of Global Beat - Letter.

This sunday I wanna talk not only about music. On fact today I' ll
spread with all of you also a nice link to something I think is
amazing.

But, before I wanna talk to you about a Dj set I' ve made 2 days ago.

Was called

The Clash of the Titans

hahaha was fantastic!!!!! Ring of this challenge was the Bar Borsa.
Really thanks to Jordan.

Basically, we were 3 Dj' s and we made a sort of "challenge at the
last beat". I mean, I' ve started with a song, then the Dj after me
had to "answer" with an another track. More heavy, or soft, or cool or
I don' t know. Then was to the other Dj to answer to the other, etc
etc..

Was a great night, also for all the alcohool I' ve drinked..haahha..3
different kinds and music taste, but linked in some way with each
other. Cool.

Ok, now let' s pass to the amazing thing I' ve told you before.

How many of you know what are "fractal image"?
Per gli amici Italiani, sto parlando di frattali.

Ok, now I' ll explain you what I' m talking about..

The term "fractal" was invented by Benoît Mandelbrot in the 1975.
A Fractal Image is a shape that is recursively constructed or
self-similar, that is, a shape that appears similar at all scales of
magnification and is therefore often referred to as "infinitely
complex".
We could find fractal also in nature, for example in trees and
broccoli. ahhah yes, broccoli! the stupid vegetable that sincerly I
hate. But, look at it, a broccolo could be really cool.

Ok, this was just a little introduction, on fact there' s lot and lot
of things to know about fractal, so try to google for fractal to
discover more about.

What I' ll do is to give you a link to a program, for all the Windows
user, to create Fractal Image.

So, download it @

http://www.apophysis.org/

Then you have to look to this Fractal Artist called

Jock Cooper

discover more @

http://www.fractal-recursions.com/

I find his Art intresting and outside typical scheme. Using computer
and value he create an impressive collection of image, similar and
totally different from each other.
The site is divided into section, find the time to watch more image as
possible, you' ll find some incredibly great.
I' ve found also Architecture inside some of his image. Don' t know if
Jock intention was to create something Architectural, anyway I' ve
interpreted those image in an architectural way.

Ok!!!

Let' s pass to an another dimension.

Let' s fly from Belfast, were we have left Futia Expo '79, to Milano
passing through the Cairo, to discover the artist of 'da week (haha
like the slang? 'da)

Marco Mohamed

so let he speak for himself

"Hello =] My name is Marco Mohamed and a too long surname to type it
all. I live between Milan and Cairo, where, when I was a child, an
electronic virus has taken me.
Back in time, I' ve passed days recording on cassete tape, dance and
hip hop music from the radio, cutting the singing parts and replacing
them with old egyptian songs. In that way I messed around with sounds
I like. Meanwhile, I' ve listened to loads of good music, played
percussions and bought a computer, with which in 2006 I' ve started to
build something.
My sound is still under construction like my two projects, one by
myself and another called the Sound Terrorists project with my italian
friend and producer Airbag Killex. Hopefully both of them will see the
light in the end of the year.
Peace."

Good good good Marco, thanks for your presentation, and peace also to
you. haha 8)

To find more about Marco check his site @

http://www.myspace.com/marcomohamed

Where you could download some other cool tracks.

Song of the week is called

Butterfly

4 minute and 30 second of pure ethnic - electro - beat will animate your sunday.
Made of percussion (played live) angelic pad, surrounded by little
floating sound, that will let you lose, this track is a perfect mix of
beats, atmosphere and freshness. The Egyptian influence of Marco will
give us a different taste of sunday.

Find a comfortable place, pump up your volume and light up your Shisha.

Ok dear Friend and Heroes, now for me is time to go.!!!

Have beautiful days, and see all of you in 2 weeks!

Best

Filippo

Global Beat - Letter #8.1 | Futia Expo '79

Oooook dear Friends and Heroes,

Welcome back to the new release of your favorite Newsletter..ever.
hahah

So, I' m here writing into an another important headquarter of my city.

Here lot of thing began, lot of friend, lot of project, lot of music
and instruments.

In this moment, lots of "confetti".

Right now I' m here writing, while Ale is working with Maya, like everyday.

Ale, say something:

"Sto divento malato"

Hahahah great..

But is doing cool things, with Maya, render, architecture and objects.
He kick ass.

Anyway is more funny when he play at videogame, shooting to everything
is moving, at "too high" volume.

About me, after a week of problem with my stupid machine, finally I'
ve resolved quite everything..without erasing his stupid brain. Well,
at least for the moment.

Anyway, sure, nobody cares about.. Haha

So! as I said last week, in this number we will see a little
improvement that I find cool.

I' ve asked to the artist to make a presentation.

Cool, no?!

So, I wanna present you Steve,

"Futia Expo '79 is something I started doing because I really wanted
to be able to put tracks down wherever I was - something that didn't
rely on other people all the time. Funny tho, now that I'm writing
more I have started working with other people again.
I'm from Belfast, but the music is becoming kinda international. which is cool.

It's kinda electronic, mostly melodic, and hopefully someone will feel
something when they listen to it...

Thanks for the time.

Futia Steve"

Yea, thanks to you Steve.

Song I' ll propose the week is full of sensation, and is it called:

Pause/return/return/pause/stop

A crescendo of delayed guitar will introduce us to confessions and
feelings of Steve.. Till when, something turn, and the distorted
battery comes to explain how things have to be done.

Find a place, turn up your volume and let Futia speak.

Ok people,

for today I think is all.

And, since I have super hungry, I think I' ll go to throw
something to eat directly inside my throat.

Have nice days!!

and see you in 2 weeks..

Bye

Filippo

Global Beat - Letter #8 --- Posticipated ---

Hi dear Friends and Heroes!!!

Ok, this week I had a lot of problem with my stupid machine..While I
was installing a program, I had the good idea to close my laptop..so
now it have some problem..for example I can' t delete a file 'cause it
"crack" everything..goood.
Don' t know what to do..someone of you maybe yes?? I' m running on osx..

Then, not happy, my AC adaptor started to make smoke and
sparkle...burned. Greeeeaat.

Bad luck never comes alone.

!

Ok, since my computer is dead for a while, I don' t have music to
spread, not even to listen for meeeee!!!

Anyway I' ve time to think and I' m having some ideas for the next
release. If everything goes well it could be a nice release.!

So, all this bullshit, just to say that this week Global Beat is
posticipated of a week.

So, see you next Sunday!!!
