Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2009-03-17 Tu 2009-03-17 Jordan Gray (STARPAUSE) talk/demo on DJing and Music Composition on Linux
Have you ever wanted to learn beat-mixing or electronic music composition? Want to get started with software that's completely free and community-based? Join us for an evening with STARPAUSE (a.k.a. Jordan Gray), chiptune producer and founder of the Mp3Death[1] (Creative Commons) netaudio label. Jordan will cover the basics of DJing and introduce you to the free open-source MIXXX[2] digital DJ software. Then we'll move on to tracker-based music composition using LittleGPTracker[3], which Jordan will demonstrate both on laptop and the Game Park handheld. LittleGPTracker is free and designed especially for 8-bit (GameBoy-style) music. Both software run on the free Linux operating system (Mac and Windows also available).
