Boston Music Conference trip with Open Labs Open Labs recently went to the Boston Music Conference (September 26-27, 2008) and took along two MiKo's and two HD cameras. The Conference was power packed with industry moguls and hungry artists. The conference had many informative panels on how to place yourself in the best position to succeed. Open Labs had a great time despite the constant rain and took in some of the cities mystique from chowder to eccentric cabbies. Take a look and check out what we saw. Big thanks to Richy Pena for organizing and facilitating this great event--see ya next year. www.openlabs.com www.bmc08.com MUSIC BY OPEN LABS ARTIST " ED RHONE JR.

MYSTO & PIZZI Make a Beat and Jam with David Williams Mysto & Pizzi make a beat live at the Open Labs 5th Anniversary Webcast. The duo flew in from NYC to pick up their Timbaland Special Edition NeKo, so we threw them in the spotlight and asked them to show us how they do it. The duo instantly felt comfortable with the keyboard and were making music minutes after receiving it. This beat is different from anything else we have heard Mysto & Pizzi make -- a soulful ballad with some serious backbone. The duo takes you thru their creation process and its amazing to watch the chemistry they have. Later in the video, Open Labs own David Williams (producer for The Jungle Brothers, etc.) showed up with his guitar and the crew jammed. So sit back, pull out your notebook and enjoy! www.mystoandpizzi.com www.openlabs.com Tags: mysto and pizzi open labs neko miko make beat synthesizer keyboards soul hiphop rap pop audio production reason ableton native instruments true pianos sylenth protools logic apple mac workstation producers nyc HD korg motif roland moog oasys nord emu maudio synth |

Keith Emerson interview with Open Labs Hailed as a keyboard legend, Keith Emerson has been one of the most important figures to emerge from the thriving UK rock scene of the 1960's and 70's. He is known as one of the most prominent leaders in the progressive rock movement, fusing rock 'n' roll with a myriad of musical styles, such as classical, jazz and world music. A modern wizard of electronic and acoustic keyboards, most notably the organ and synthesizer, he has set a standard by which others multiply. With both "The Nice" and "Emerson, Lake & Palmer," Emerson has written and recorded some of rock's most adventurous music and brought it to the masses with unmatched virtuosity and skillful showmanship. Listen as he describes how he has embraced Open Labs technology on his new album and tour.

BEAT CONTEST -- win Victor's 24kt Gold NeKo LUX Austin, TX -- Catering to the growing urban music scene, Open Labs will be hosting a two-day music event titled "Beats 'N Treats Music Festival" at the Mohawk venue on October 24-25, 2008. The two day event will feature live bands and a beat competition called the "Gold Rush Beat Competition," in which the winner will receive an Open Labs NeKo LUX encased in a 24-karat gold chassis. The instrument is worth over $24,000, and is Open Labs' most expensive instrument to date. The competition will be held on the outside stage of the Mohawk for both days, with running times of 5 pm to 2 am on Friday, and 2 pm to 2 am on Saturday. Local Austin MCs will be the masters of ceremonies. The inside stage will feature live bands and DJs throughout the event. The entire event will be filmed with multiple hi-definition cameras, and broadcast live from www.openlabs.com. Open Labs is currently marketing and advertising worldwide for the Beats 'N Treats Music Festival, and over 2,000 attendees are expected, not including on-line viewers. The gold NeKo is personally owned by Open Labs co-founder and chairman, Victor Wong, and only 24 of the gold NeKo's will ever be made by Open Labs. Wong claims that he is giving away his personal gold NeKo as a token of appreciation to the musician community for Open Labs' success, and as a celebration for Open Labs' five year anniversary. "We know that there is a huge urban music scene here in Austin, and we'd like to give it some more recognition, as well as help foster its growth," said Wong. "Everyone at Open Labs is very pleased with the amount of success our company has received in the last five years, this is our way of giving back to the community, who have been the fuel to Open Labs' fire." The Beats 'N Treats Music Festival will have two stages during both days: an outside stage to host the beat competition, and an inside stage that will feature live music. The band list for the inside stage tentatively includes Recorder, DJ Veedub, Rattletree Marimba, CTRL, Fiction, The Beautiful Supermachines, CockVanDyke, Academicos Da Opera, Aciable, the Ginsu Wives, The Mercers, Androids of Ex-Lovers, Salero, Shriner Threat, El Paso Heist, Hot Pentacostals, Blackolicus, Salesman and more. The rooftop of the Mohawk will feature product demonstrations of Open Labs gear, Q&A's with certified Open Labs employees, artist demonstrations, and the gold NeKo itself will be on display. There is a $10 registration fee for beat makers wanting to compete during the Gold Rush Beat Competition, please visit the Open Labs website for details on registration payment. All proceeds from the registration fee will be donated to charity. The registration period will start on September 15, 2008 at noon, and will end on October 15, 2008 at midnight. The registrant number is limited to 200, and is on a first come, first serve basis. Open Labs will cut off the registration period if it reaches 200 before October 15, 2008 and will announce the preemptive cut-off date at www.openlabs.com. "We've also had a lot of public interest in the gold NeKo since we've had it on our website and Youtube videos," said Wong. "I know there are a some stellar beat makers out there who deserve this machine, but can't afford it. Now is their chance to own a 24-karat gold NeKo, our best and most expensive machine, using nothing but their talent." Headquartered in the heart of "the live music capital of the world," Open Labs™ develops customized, computer music keyboards suited to fit every studio and stage need imaginable. With a single piece of Open Labs gear, musicians can play any organ, piano, synthesizer or virtual instrument on the planet, create any sound imaginable, manipulate every parameter, record it in a multi-track system and burn it to a CD/DVD. That's just the beginning of what Open Labs products can do. With the advent of their innovative products, the NeKo and MiKo, and the A-list artists that use them, Open Labs has become the industry standard for producers, composers and musicians of every genre. Open Labs invites you to participate in the first annual Beats 'N Treats Music Festival and supporting beat-makers world-wide.
