Tra La La Blip (2010)

So this chef/electronic producer I met yesterday told me about this group.

Randolf Reimann is a musician and a support worker at a home for severely mentally/physically disabled people in rural Australia. I guess what happened is that he walked in while a music class was being conducted, all of the people playing triangles and things-- really not making music at all. Determined to make a change, he brought in six midi controllers, a microphone, and his MacBook with Ableton Live 7. He started teaching them how to use it all, and they actually kind of got the hang of it. They started recording songs as Tra La La Blip, a collective of three sub-bands (so to speak): the younger kids who go by MSG (Movers, Soothers, and Groovers), the middle-aged folk who go by Wash Your Hands, and the older ones who go by Honeydance. I couldn't find a torrent for their album, but I found this YouTube video. They did the stop action stuff too.



Stop whining about how hard Ableton is.
