[LAU] Musik Messe

I think I forgot to post it here: On the last Musik Messe in March 2008 in Frankfurt (something like the NAMM in Germany) I got the opportunity to demonstrate Minicomputer and Linux in general at the booth of the Synthesizer-Magazin for which I write articles on Open-Source sound software. The feedback was great and many and I often demonstrated Ardour, AMS and PD too. Sonic State had a quick video about our incredible booth which was mainly made of vintage gear but was shared with smaller manufacturers of modular synths too. It can be seen at http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=6327 and shows all the crazyness of the fair. My ears were bleeding for weeks after it and I couldnt stand or make music for some time :) It features mainly Mic who runs sequencer.de but I am shouting some words short after the introduction. It took guts to demonstrate a software synth in that environment, which even didnt run on a very popular platform but it worked and I wonder if it would be interesting to gather some money from sponsers to have a small Linux Audio booth next year. The purpose would be to demonstrate stuff to the people but also to get into focus of the manufacturers of audiohardware.
