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).
