New year's eve live streaming event

It is that time of the year again :!:

The event will be on electro-music radio on Sunday Dec 31 2017.
It will probably start at 15:00 GMT and end at 00:00 GMT but we can extend the timing if there are enough people signing up.

Stream ops please respond if you're able to help switch and what time range you are available.
No really, it would be nice to have some more people to help with switching duties.

As always, if you are interested in performing, please copy/paste this Sign-Up template and post in this thread:

1. Preferred Start Time (Please use GMT/Military Time):
2. Set Length (30 or 60 minutes):
3. Artist Name (For displaying on the poster):
4. Chat Name (if different from artist/forum name):
5. Location (City/State/Country - Optional):
6. Description (Style/Genre/Equipment, etc. - Optional):
7. Website Address:
8. Anything else you like to mention:

For reference, this clock could be useful:

First Time Streamers Please Read:

Please review the Electro Music Copyright Policy

Please note: "Preferred Start Time". We will do the best that we can to accommodate people to their requested times. However, please be flexible because this event will have European and American musicians in many different time zones. Time slots will be on a semi-"first come-first served" basis. Furthermore, please post your time in GMT. The handy clock should make it simple. However, we do use military/24 hour time. It will undoubtedly be an international event and GMT is the only way to coordinate such events.

As in the past, the chat room will serve as an invaluable communication tool for set up, streaming, and connecting to those listening....and it's just a lot of silly fun! I suggest participants get familiar with it in advance, if you aren't already.

If you want a recording of your set, it would be prudent to record your own set, rather than depend on others. Accidents and mistakes happen...especially in this format. There are many ways to record your set, either thru the stream app or record your stream from your mixer on the signal path to the computer.

Performers MUST stream at 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz , stereo.
more info about broadcasting on radio.electro-music.com can be found here.

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone test their connections before we start streaming. At least 24 hours before but sooner is preferred. Sorry, but we can not guarantee that musicians will be allowed to stream if you do not test 24 hours before hand. Not only does it delay the schedule, but causes unneeded stress on performer, server operator, and audience during performance time. Join the chat room for testing and help setting up.

6. Description (Style/Genre/Equipment, etc. - Optional): Generally I do some sort of live improv using usb keyboards and hardware sound modules and/or softsynths. Sometimes I use recorded sound for backgrounding. Generally my styles range from ambient textural soundscapes to mild electronicky experimentalism to danceable stuff with rhythms/beats. For my last performance here I did a somewhat powerful piece in memory of Philando Castile (with audio from his being stopped to a synthesized barrage of sounds to simulate gunshots), but I have not been in a political mood recently (except at work) . Of course, this is subject to change.

8. Anything else you like to mention: Well,
I've been picking away on a framework for a modal banjo piece for a couple of months, tried tossing in some electronics, and have not been happy with anything that mucks up the banjo. I thought of playing an all-acoustic set, and then got an idea from looking at Escher's Double Planetoid, a print of which is hanging in our living room. Two worlds intertwine in one space (geometric for Escher) but never actually interact in another space or dimension (natural vs. synthetic for Escher - how appropriate!). So, interleave, without fusing, an acoustic set and an electronic set, same tonic and tempo, but never making proper contact, let alone never fusing. Maybe the first completely bipolar non-fusion, inspired by this Escher print. We'll see. Very much improvised framework, rough draft in progress.
Thanks for the opportunity. Cool

I'd just like to mention that I can switch if needed - you can assume that for future events that I sign up for too, unless I say otherwise.
