[LAU] OT: music listened to with linux :-) -- Mathew Jonson

I don't think linux was used to create this music (*), but I used Linux to listen to it :-) (Fedora via Amarok on the desktop, Maemo on Nokia n900 via http://gpodder.org/ in the car) ... I'm posting because it's an excellent Mix by one of my favorite producers: Mathew Jonson "in his full majestic flow" ... if talking about music is like dancing about architecture, i'd say each of Mathew Jonson's better songs sound like a little zen-rock-garden-of-music, except there's like little Japanese anime gnomes and Dr. Zeuss fluff-balls poking up from the crevices now and then. File: http://ra4.residentadvisor.net/audio/RA240_110103_Mathew-Jonson-residentadv… around 47' are some remixes of his latest album's songs like the tip-of-the-hat-to-the-John-Tejada-sound 'Girls Got Rhythm' and the distinctive elastic-bass (from http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/sh101.php ??) of 'Thieves In Digital Land' ... Picture: http://www.residentadvisor.net/images/features/2010/labyrinth-mj-full.jpg (from http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1258 ) Podcast: http://www.residentadvisor.net/xml/podcast.xml Equipment: "two SH-101s, a 909 and 808, an Elektron Machinedrum, a Midas V320, Yamaha and Eventide effects and some MIDI controllers for the computer. Usually I only have one SH-101 but they had a spare for me at the festival so it was better than usual! It's also the reason why you hear so many new synth parts being played like in the beginning of "Symphony for the Apocalypse." (Hopefully it's not too busy.)" (from http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=240 ) Description: "His pool of original material is teaming with prodigious 12-inches, released chiefly via his own Wagon Repair imprint, while tracks like "Marionette" and "Decompression" are rightly considered as techno classics. You may recognize much of what Jonson plays during performances in clubs and festivals around the world, but it will no doubt have been expertly reconfigured, right there and then on the fly. This virtuosity at the helm of hardware carries over to Cobblestone Jazz, the live electronic improv group Jonson formed with friends Tyger Dhula and Danuel Tate back in 2002. The group has since released a pair of albums–23 Seconds and The Modern Deep Left Quartet–while Jonson explored the format solo in 2010 through the warmly received Agents of Time ( http://www.discogs.com/Mathew-Jonson-Agents-Of-Time/master/255472 ). ... Jonson's podcast for us captures the producer in his full majestic flow. The set was recorded at Labyrinth festival 2010 in Japan, and finds Jonson maneuvering among a substantial array of gear for what is undoubtedly one of his favourite places to play."
