    for me, after a stressfull year, working hard at my dayjob

    and family stress this and that last months have been really been putting me down

    Well If you havent listend to ISMS

    you re really missing something here

    its a very very very nice psyambient album

    sometimes uptempo

    303s going in and out

    nice samples

    all and all its one of my favourite ambient albums

    though its an ambient album in a shpongle kind a way

    dont expect only chilled beats

    Any1 from Turkey here ?

    Well I am from Turkey

    dont preoccupy your mind with what you ve told

    come and experience

    we ve been making goa parties here for years

    we didnt have a single interruption by any force

    maybe our parties were small

    but people this is not the first festival in Turkey

    there are many festivals reaching around 30.000 people (rock festivals)

    so no worries, i dont think there would be any problems

    i live now just a half an hour ride where the soulclipse will be

    and partied nearly at that location this summer

    and it was beautiful

    the landscape, the people, the colors

     

    if anyone is disturbed about terorrism

    it has diminished very very much, and it is at the southeast region of turkey only

    i hope it will be solved someday

    and we ll get back to our tradition of multicultural life

    in turkey there is not only turks and kurds, there are many more cultures living together

    PSYNEWS BACK ONLINE

    yeah

    my favourite site

    back online

    :)

     

    altough i do not post so much

    this site since its review/forum days

    have been visited daily by me (whenever possible)

    it is special, so many things have changed in my life but not this one

    finished university, did my ma degree, started a job

    and still checking out this site

    people changed, i dont know a lot of things changed

    but i enjoyed every bit of it

    thanks mars

    :)

    What is the best solution? recommendations please

    -I am buying a tb-303 after years of dreaming.

    -I do not want to give up the software drum-machines. If you have any recommended ones, please tell me so.

    -I may buy some synths or soft synths. I am open for recommendations, altough I ve read quite a lot about them here in this side of the forum, but still I am up for more.

    -Dont know if I have to go for a hardware sampler or Logics sampler is good enough. What would be the advantage of going for a hardware sampler except the cpu usage, I have several akai and roland sample discs waiting to be explored.

    -I am a mac user.

    -I have a M-audio firewire solo interface.

    -I have studio monitors.

    -I have an alesis quadraverb effect machine.

    -How do you think all this can work together. What do I need, a mixing desk? or what else?

    -I am planning to record live instruments as well maybe not more than 2 at the same time.

    -I think Logic looks like the right software for me. If you know Logic which tutorials(where can I find them) or guide books do you recommend?

     

    Some of these I have inheritedç some are from old live band days, but I was a drummer and now this is a whole new approach. I am willing to sit seriously and work. I would be grateful for some recommendations and some ideas, answers

    Soulclipse Festival - Turkey 2006

    in General Party & Travel Talk (Worldwide)

    Posted

    that email has been sent by a fellow turkish friend

    and they answered, someone named Hillary

    they said they only got compliments from turkey about the ticket prices

    and couldnt understand it as we dont even pay travelling expenses

    ok they are making the festival so they are following their path

    but

    I do not believe higher ticket prices means a quality crowd (this looks like the idea behind it)

    She also wrote this is nearly the half of the line up so they spend quite a lot on booking-

    She also remarks you shoud compare this festival to other eclipse events not only psy festivals and she says the price is competetive

     

    well i have only positive feelings about this party so hard for me to think somehtings wrong but prices just caused me some pain, not because I cant pain, but because i know some friends, it looks like as I am the one who is working i ll need to get a few tickets for my mates :)

     

     

    ps. maybe I am wrong, but thinking of 2003 morocco where 2 parties took place

    one of them 100 euro and the second one free

    the second was way ahead of the first one (the free one)

    I wish they were both good but then again its my point of view

    the first one had big artists whereas the second one was by goafreaks from around the world, again thats two different things a psy festival and a goaparty... this has gotto be a nother topic I ll cut it here

    Soulclipse Festival - Turkey 2006

    well there are many big names not only simon

    but still it is expensive

    who do they want to come

    clubber kids or freaks

    who the hell can have 1 week off in the middle of the year and have that much money :) hehe

    price effects the crowd, the crowd effects the vibe, the vibe is the whole party

    still as it is officially declared i dont expect they would lower the prices

    one thing is, it is for a week, so nearly like 2 festivals.

    In a country as cheap as Turkey still i believe they could ve done better then that, but i am positive about this festival

     

     

    @agia_igoumeni

     

    it is not done by turkish peopel so it doesnt matter if you re TOO european for us ;) at the end I have lived in both countries and have not seen much difference

    well Moni is right

    here in Turkey the situation is exactly the same

    people earn around 250euros basically

    if you are a uni graduate, it can go up to 400 to 800 a month for the first year

    So it is very very hard to pay all the expenses (living) and buy the cds

    In here our turkish cd vendors (who release shit records of pop muic) managed to sell cd s for around 4-8 euros, so it can be done

    They have sleeve and everything and original cd s with a lot of promotion

    I wonder how can there be a way to do that, really do not know

    It is also very hard to get cd s from overseas because when your total buy is over 100euros they say you bought for commercial purposes and make you pay customs fees which doubles the payment :(

    It has been very hard to get all the cds throughout the years, if only I havent travelled and lived outside Turkey I wouldnt be able to get my music anyways

    and believe me there are many people willing to pay for original cd s here if only they could afford it

     

    well done Moni good insight :)
