9/11, 10 years ago, and now!

Where to begin?
I guess first and foremost, Science Vs Nature would like to honor the victims of 9/11, and we hope we can stop the violence that caused it, as well as the violence that came from it. Humans are capable of much greater things than hate; compassion and understanding should preside over all. Our prayers and thoughts are with the world so we may take a step forward, not three steps back.

Its hard to believe 10 years ago, Science and Nature were just starting to work together.

And on that note . . . while Nature was away re-centering himself in the greatest city of the world: Black Rock City, Science was hard at work on a new track that will blow minds! He found a rapper (undisclosed at this moment) that astonished us at his adlib ability and his tonal quality. His first take was the keeper!

Also, we have finished up the Science Remix of "Imagine", only to be heard by a few until the Nature version receives the same treatment.

We are looking forward to returning to our live presence which was cut away for several months due to an unforeseen collision with a 4 wheeled yellow dragon not watching his traffic lights. With the healing almost done, its time to get back in the saddle!

Mr. Groove

Just writing a little note.

D Minor . . . .

LOL

ok that was bad musician humor.

The real reason I write, Science is at the helm finishing up his remix of Mr. Groove, and i'm bored as he noodles! :-)

Mr. Groove has been in our repertoire for 5 years, and we've never released it.

"WHY?" you ask.

Well the reason is simple: Mr. Groove is an awesome track, but it is an extremely difficult one to produce. We have attempted only a few times, and nothing proved ideal. We decided to include Mr. Groove into our next series of releases, more as a challenge to ourselves if we could get it done under a deadline. Guess what . . . we're only a week delayed (which isn't bad after 5 years).

Next week . . . "Because of you!"

BTW, you can hear these songs from our free iPhone app, that has the LIVE versions of each song, as well as loads of other material. Take a peak.

OK, He's asking me questions. I need to focus more.

Have a good week,

and until next time . . .

eyes to the sky!

2011, here we come!

After 2 days of intense projections, marketing plans, and business planning (and a whole lot of coffee), Science Vs Nature has big steps coming for 2011.

Our iphone app has been growing in subscribers by leaps and bounds. It has become our electronic press kit, a direct to link to fans around the world, and a super-fun toy to show people. After a meeting with Nov8trix (the makers of the the app), big things are on the way. VERY SOON, we will be using the app to link to our blogs, to our youtube account, and to a consolidated sales arena. Not only does this help with what we have already released, but allows us to plan for the next 5 releases slated for the next 5 months.

Yes, you read that right! 5 new releases slated in the upcoming months. If you are interested in doing any remixes of our upcoming singles, let us know. We're all ears.

New full length album in the works? Is that a whisper in the ear?

In stride with the releases, we've been making plans for proper videos to go along with the singles. If you, or any of your friends, are interested in this endeavor, we are eagerly, and aggressively, looking for videographers, VJ's, and video producers.

Gigs are already lined up in NYC for 2011. Expect a much anticipated west coast tour (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco). If you or anyone you know is interested in booking us at an event slated late spring, let us know ASAP as dates are being locked down in the next few weeks.

A lot of other things and future plans were discussed over these two days, but that's for us to know and you to find out. Keep in touch (we highly recommend downloading our free iPhone app), and don't forget, we are looking for video people, as well as remixers for our upcoming releases.

Until next time . . .

-nature (science is in the room, but i'm the one typing!)

Thanks, and looking forward to next month!

If you've been following the growth of Science Vs Nature these past few years,

you should have noticed that in the past 6 months,

an exponential growth has happened.

We have multiple releases on itunes, and recently have started our live shows again.

You can download our latest show at Downhouse at Ave X in Brooklyn in the next few days

at: http://www.svn.podomatic.com, or just look for our free podcast on itunes,

and our most recent podcast includes our latest live demo.

We are presently reviewing our collection and revamping for live shows in the future.

A video is being compiled from all our recent shows, so look for that soon as well.

Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know that you are not forgotten.

We will be producing some new songs in the very near future, and really look forward to your response to those.

Until then, we would love to see you out. Don't hesitate to come up to the booth, say hi, and make requests for one our songs. We do this not just for our love of music, but for yours too!

Until we cross paths,

eyes to the sky!

give our live demo a listen

We are rather proud of our latest efforts in the studio, so we thought we would share a rehearsal with you. Take a listen, comment on it, tell us what you hate, love or find interesting!

http://soundcloud.com/expedition-recordings/science-vs-nature-live-summer-2010

AND if you want to hear us live, tell your local promoter or agent!

We want to perform FOR YOU!

oh and . . .

FYI - - two of the 4 tracks are unreleased. The first person to tell us what the RELEASED songs are will get free copies of all four!

as always . . .

Science's take on the studio split of SVN

Nature Video Blog #4

Also, found on YouTube, here is Nature's take on the studio split of SVN.

notes of interest

Greetings and Happy New Decade from the SVN Camp!

Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know that we're not sittin on our bumms recovering from hangovers:

1) Science Vs Nature has signed with Right Time Management. More info TK on them, but for now, know they are putting tons of fire on our rears to keep a devil dancing. Much needed, as we're already in talks with a booking manager and a potential tour
2) started a video blog. We're not sure how we're going to implement them yet, but expect a video record of all this very soon.
3) Expect a FREE EP shortly. It will include 5 tracks that we feel anyone and everyone into electronic music will enjoy. Two of which are from the most recent series of releases: "Room for Thought", and "Dreamstate". (and, if you ever listened to our first album- "Dance Like you F*ck" is getting a rework as well)
4) New toys: now that we're getting into the DJ world, Science and myself have each received a MIDI controller for Ableton Live. Not that we needed MORE gear, but its inspiring to get the ball rolling.
5) New Gear = New wiring. Spent an entire day last weekend working with lightpipe, and directly routing signal from programs into soundcards (instead of digitally doing so). Loads of fun (hear my sarcasm?), but necessary to keep your feet moving in the future.
6) In final stages of a new single with local NYC superstar Nikki McNally. Its quite unique in the fact that its a straight up NYC House record, with Progressive and Tech house elements. A very good partnership if i do say so myself. We've already talked about doing more.
7) still looking for a NYC intern to help with our social networks (online and analog). In return, we can promise studio time/lessons and quite a few drinks with us out on the town.

and thats the past two weeks.

Eyes to the sky!

Has it been this long?

Wow.

ok. We've slacked on the Blog thang. Sorry all.

Busy minds get preoccupied with their work. Which is one reason i'm able to take the time and write now! Science Vs Nature has scored an amazing deal with an incredible new management company. We're not allowed to give any news yes, but things are looking VERY exciting.

Oh, hell. I'll let ya know a little something: They've asked Science to learn how to DJ, and asked me to return to the decks. I used to DJ all over the place about 10 years ago, but gave it all up to study music and production. Should be interesting to see what 10 years of maturity and growth do to a veteran DJ, with LOADS of new toys and modern gear.

As for Science, I'm extremely curious as to how he plans on setting his "decks" up.

The management team has already done wonders with us, and we're very excited to have people excited to do business with us. Win/Win.

Podcast #19 - Synchronicity (Nature remix)

Many thanks to Ken Spector for doing the vocals for our latest song, to be released Sept 7, 2009. Entitled "Synchronicity," the Nature remix will certainly remind all of you of that moment on the dance floor when everyone is looking around at each other and feeling the same thing.

And as always, you can find all our tracks available through a google search, or just go to:

www.expeditionrecordings.com

On present news, this past monday gave us an INCREDIBLE recording session with Jason Walker and Heather Leigh West. Expect a house floor stomper to be released in the next few months. If you are unfamiliar with either of these vocalists, just take a peak into their history, both being Billboard Dance charting artists that have worked with some of the most talented producers in NYC.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, and until next podcast . . .

keep dancing.

"Light Show" released on Expedition Recordings

Podcast #18 is up! take a quick listen

I know I just wrote about the pod-casts, but . . .

Its officially live on iTunes, and at PodOmatic

And we have to apologize to MyPlatinumsound

We hyped up their mastering service, and failed to turn up the volume equally with podcast #17.

So . . . in lieu of this, we might do another podcast talking about "mastering", and what it does to sound. Hmmmmm . . . a potential interview maybe?

eyes to the sky!

-Nature

PS: "Dreamstate" and "Room For Thought" are available for purchase and preview at www.expeditionrecordings.com

SVN Podcast #17 and #18 "Light Show"

ok . . . ok . . . We know we said every week we would post stuff, but as it so happens our lives get in the way of things. A girlfriend's family could live in a faraway place, gear could break down, Logic Pro 9 could be released, video work could slow things down, a record label could be born, or just maybe, all the above, plus more.

All in all, though, we're doing pretty good at not being slackers.

Podcast #17 is up on itunes and Podomatic

Podcast #18 will be up shortly (by Wed, 8/5/9)

Both are entitled "Light Show" are are the respective remixes produced by Science and Nature.

To be released August 17, we expect this release to be a BIG hit. So, with the release, we're releasing two videos for VJ's to use as well. Über-fun.

"Dreamstate" will be released on 8/3/9, so if you liked "Room for Thought," this song pisses all over it (excuse my bluntness, but its true).

We are anxiously awaiting placement on Beatport and iTunes before we send the massive press release. Come-on guys . . . we're waaitiiing!

Another fun little thang:

We've starting using a mastering company: www.myplatinumsound.com

In podcast #17, the science version is unmastered, and in #18, the nature version is mastered.

If you are into music production, or don't know what a mastering session does to a song: take a close comparison between the two.

(if you produce, and want to use them, drop our name, and let them know we referred you)

And lastly,

We're looking for a few good men (or ladies . . . or even aliens, for that matter-squirrels not allowed-nasty little wire munchers) to remix some of our stuff. Expedition Recordings will pay for the mastering/marketing/distribution, and you make 25% off all sales of your remix. Not bad, eh? Contact them if you are interested.

Until our next word . . . .

Eyes to the sky, and keep dreaming big.

SVN Podcast #16 "Dreamstate"

Just before the 4th, here's a little gift for everyone:

Thanks to our speedy little system, we can finally start cranking the tunes to ya!

In this podcast, we have two remixes of Dreamstate.

www.svn.podomatic.com

Also, we want to let everyone know,

Expedition Recordings will be releasing "Room for Thought" in a few weeks for digital downloading across the globe. Look for the press releases soon!

If you are a DJ, and want to play an "unwatermarked" version, shoot us an email.

All we ask is you get reactions and send them our way.

We'll promote you on our press release in return!

We're taking a week off, so expect another podcast in two weeks!

until then . . .

eyes to the sky!

SVN Podcast #15 "Room For Thought"

Our new workflow is allowing us to produce two tracks a week, remixing our live rehearsals from the week. It provides a medium for DJs to play with our music, pushes us to produce for listeners at home, and enhances the "LIVE EXPERIENCE" by showcasing the Nature and Science sides of SVN.
This podcast includes two versions of a song we play live, entitled "Room for Thought".
Let us know what you think, as this stuff is written specifically FOR YOU!

http://svn.podomatic.com/

Nature, Live in Philly

So there comes a time when two people need to do their own thing. There are also the times when its impossible for two people to be there, or not sensible for one to be there.

Hence, Nature has done his third gig beyond Science Vs Nature, and is doing some pretty wicked stuff. Last night he performed in Philadelphia, showed off some new tracks (one of which was the Science remix of "Dreamstate", a new SVN track that will blow your mind), and for the first time, DJ'ed vinyl while using a Euphonix MCMix tapped into Logic, and remixed the vinyl, LIVE. 

The crowd didn't know what hit them!

All this was the nighttime.

During that day, SVN wrote a new podcast showing off our new system of writing/rehearsing.

The podcast details how Science Vs Nature writes for their live show, records their rehearsal, and the the two separate, writing their own remixes of their own material, return in a week, and do it all over again (in essence producing two tracks a week). Cool system, eh?

Well, check out the podcast this week, where you can hear the Science and the Nature sides of "Room for Thought". 

SVN's first remix release on Kult Records

Hey all.

Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know about this.

We've been slammed getting the live show up and running. Between RAM issues, CPU chokes, and the redesigning of recording templates, i think we might be nearly 80% there. :-)

We are attempting to record every sound we play for you, LIVE, so that our live performance can be recorded and distributed almost instantaneously. In the studio, it will allow us to rehearse, record and release at an unstoppable speed. If you understand how much power that requires, you understand our issues. But we're almost there!

The music has been ridiculously good, though. We are planning on releasing 4 tracks a month WITH numerous remixes if this works. Let us know if you are interested in being a part of this monumental task!

and . . . without further adieu . . . released on 4/20 . . . written by Sebastien Gazeille . . .

Science Vs Nature's first remix release on Kult records can be found exclusively on Beatport.com

https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/track/catalog/?performerId=104654&contextType=artists&contextEntityId=104654&orderBy=trackPublishDate%20DESC%2C%20releaseId%20DESC&labelId=2247

Live set posted on Website

So after conference, we realized that more than just the industry would enjoy our live set demo.

Its not available to download, but if you want it, just let us know and we'll send you an MP3.

The stream can be found on our site: 

www.sciencevsnature.com

Fun little fact, this was our first time playing together in over 6 months as we've been extremely busy doing remix work and learning the new toys. This was take 3, and once we work out some kinks, you can only imagine how good this is going to be, as it already seems pretty F-N amazing.

KEEP IN MIND, this is NOT a DJ set. We are working/manipulating every sound LIVE using pre-sequenced patterns in Logic on two sets of Euphonix mixers and controllers. 

Enjoy!
