No Borders, No Barriers

In Memoriam

Clark Walter Smith, otherwise known as Venison88, succumbed to a massive stroke on July 27, 2020. He was an original TBRN broadcaster, king of context isolation humor, heart and soul of our hobby, and most importantly, a good friend. TBRN Twitter has all the ongoing information about tributes to him throughout the weekend. Rest in peace, Venison…It won’t be the same without you.

The Louis Bin

The Louis Bin encompasses sound. It encloses it. Encases it. Sometimes in boxes, sometimes in busses, cars, trains or even planes.
Sometimes we discuss sound, other times we make it live on-air.
Occasionally we’ve even been known to put it in buckets and break it just for fun.
Join us for an insight into midi, music and madness!

YackOnj in the ShackBin, june 2018show.ogg

Here's a crazy show with Andre Louis and Jakob Rosin, when Andre spent his birthday week in Estonia. As we were together, it only made lots of sense to do a show, so a show we did. Lots of jamming, mad keyboard playing and some broken phone-calls make up the show, and we hope you enjoy it.

The Louis Bin - February 10 2018 - Jason Castonguay Edition

Good times and welcome to 10 February 2018. This show was the first in a long time, and well, let's just say it's unconventional but very, very fun. It featured a special guest in the form of Jason Castonguay, and we both, like kids in a candy-store, played a lot of music together. We discussed chords, favourite sounds and a multitude of other topics. If you like music, you're going to love this show for sure.

The Louis Bin - June 24 2017

Good times and welcome to 24 June 2017. This show didn't actually start until 25 minutes late, at least for the live side of things because for some reason, the encoders weren't connected. The archive however, is all present and correct, so is a full-length production. Music, talk of word-stress (which I didn't get an answer for because nobody heard the question by the way,) Logic (of course) and lots of Omnisphere sounds are what you'll find in this once-in-a-blue-moon episode of The luis Bin.

The Louis Bin - April 09 2017

Good times and welcome to 09 April 2017. This show was on a Sunday, because it's the Easter holidays and Saturday was a house with my wonderful children. As a result, I did a make-up show because I wanted to. Of course it contains Logic tracks, I mean why wouldn't it? Starting to see a trend here aren't you? Yes, I thought so too. We discuss why phase-invert on one channel and summing to mono can show you content you didn't know existed, play some huge-sounding pads, make a track-stack, and the beginnings of a new track using said stack on the show.

The Louis Bin - February 11 2017

Good times and welcome to 11 February 2017. This show delves more into, yes, you guessed it, my mad creations in Logic, touches on a little automation, more uses of Impulse responses and I add a few tracks to one of my existing projects, and have a solo on another. Just another day in the life of a Louis Bin really. Do enjoy.

TheLouisBin.170204.ogg

Good times and welcome to 04 February 2017. Lots of Korg sounds were featured, but not harmed in this show. The beautiful sounds of Spectrasonics Keyscape was also heard in this show, and sort of harmed my CPU. Sit back and enjoy as I go through sounds, so you don't have to... But you might feel like doing it after you hear some of these crazy things.

The Louis Bin - December 10 2016

Good times and welcome to 10 December 2016. this was a quiet show in terms of listener-interaction, but fun musically. We even get to hear my real piano, thanks to Alexander, who suggested I play it live on-air. Logic (who'd have guessed?) New tracks, and even a new album can be found in this show. You can purchase 'A Little bit of Everything' from iTunes, here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/a-little-bit-of-everything/id1185030242

The Louis Bin - November 12 2016 - Where we sort of fake-break stuff

Good times and welcome to 12 November 2016. Phone calls, Impulse responses courtesy of Derek Lane, logic... Wait! Doesn't this sound a little reminiscent of the last show archive? If so, it kind of was, and yes we did make another track live on-air. Lively discussion on teamtalk, making equipment sound half-dead, hilarity and other such madness is to be found in this archive.

The Louis Bin - October 15 2016

Good times and welcome to 15 October 2016. Phone calls, Impulse responses courtesy of Derek Lane, logic, the creation of tracks, and making a strange, chilled-out version of Children. All things you can find in this week's Louis Bin.

The Louis Bin - October 08 2016 - Let's Play with Logic!

Good times and welcome to 08 October 2016. Logic, more Logic and even more Logic in this show, as I take you through some of the things I'm now able to do using, yep, you guessed it, Logic. What a shocker! One of the larger tracks I demo in the show called 'Oh No, the Laces are Undone!' can be found on Soundcloud here, with it's stems so you can remix, reboot, or otherwise receive it and do what you want to it: http://soundcloud.com/andre-louis/oh-no-the-laces-are-undone Other things we cover: Flex time, adding drums to an audio piano track, loading IR samples, having fun and taking phone calls.

The Louis Bin - September 10 2016 - Let's play with Sounds!

Good times and welcome to 10 September 2016. This show was fun certainly for me anyway, I take you through a few of the new sounds I have access to, and show you some tracks I've been working on in Logic. The intro track can be found on Soundcloud, here: http://soundcloud.com/andre-louis/if-ever-there-were-a-moment

The Louis Bin - June 11 2016

Good times and welcome to 11 June 2016. This was another tape-show, and it was certainly fun. Lots of quite high-quality tapes came out of the box, and I think you'll be impressed with some of the sound, even after many years of just sitting about gathering dust.

The Tape Show Louis Bin - June 04 2016

Good times and welcome to 04 June 2016. In this show, we have for you some old tapes, phone calls, and a couple of tracks in memory of Lee Storm, who will be missed greatly. RIP. Gone, but not forgotten.

The Komplete 10 Ultimate Louis Bin - May 28 2016

Good times and welcome to 28 May 2016. If you like sounds, you'll love this show. I spend almost all of the time showing you sounds from Native Instruments Komplete 10 Ultimate, which is my most recent acquisition, and current fun new toy.

The Louis Bin - May 14 2016

Good times and welcome to 14 May 2016. A fun show, containing studio mixes being talked over, a couple of phone and skype calls, and some keys playing for the sake of it.

The Louis Bin - April 30 2016 - Amazon Fire 7 Tablet edition

Good times and welcome to 30 April 2016. This show was very quiet indeed, with only Nick calling in to say hello. I was however, asked to do a quick overview of the Amazon Fire Tablet so the last section of this shortened show was spent doing that. Any questions, please get in touch. for the items I bought regarding my tablet, links are provided here: Tablet: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/r.html?C=JMQMQ3R9WDU6&K=AZVITZAKURPRW&R=API4QC8M6S3Q&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB00Y3TM6CO%2Fref%3Dpe_385721_126859831_TE_dp_1&A=XEXXDU9BNTDSMELEE5YT12PPA3OA&H=3CZQBJ4R1CGMS9TP3UAZJTBQ74GA&ref_=pe_385721_126859831_TE_dp_1 64 GB Micro SD card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/r.html?C=LY2IP9WM4S7H&K=AZVITZAKURPRW&R=API4QC8M6S3Q&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB013P1M436%2Fref%3Dpe_385721_126318801_TE_dp_1&A=H342LRU0DZGQMXVBUJDZBDFA2K8A&H=KY2RXAW0LYR1TXLZWYHCBIA9C7UA&ref_=pe_385721_126318801_TE_dp_1 Nice, Magnetic case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/r.html?C=UTT3947L5I2D&K=AZVITZAKURPRW&R=API4QC8M6S3Q&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB017I4AW1C%2Fref%3Dpe_385721_126263201_TE_dp_1&A=VTNRAF51KKZAZ1SKSQY3J191HAYA&H=HS7BFVIXHSSXKWMVW0F4CV8PHWKA&ref_=pe_385721_126263201_TE_dp_1

The Louis Bin - April 16 2016

Good times and welcome to 16 April 2016. The show started off fairly quiet, then we get into creating a track on air like 'The Good Old Days' and then follow that up with some monitor-mixes from the studio session we talked about last week. Enjoy your meal.

The Louis Bin - April 09 2016

Good times and welcome to 09 April 2016. This show takes a quick look at my £50 Amazon Fire 7 tablet, what a few midis sound like on it courtesy of dropbox, studio-recordings from my session the Sunday previous, and a good deal of phone-calls. Enjoy.

The Louis Bin - March 12 2016

Good times and welcome to 12 March 2016. This show contained 'Accidental Stereo' music, a usual cohost in the form of @Arfy and sounds from Hooke Audio, my piano, and my fun outside stream. The new phone system for TBRN is in fine-form as well, which we discover near the end of the broadcast.

The Louis Bin - February 13 2016

Good times and welcome to 13 February 2016. This show was lots and lots of fun, I feel like I'm finally back in the groove and doing what I enjoy doing. I hope you'll enjoy the music, the talk, and lots of playing with a Kontakt Jazz guitar. apart from that, we delve into why having 6 synths can be fun, and play with many midi files.

The Louis Bin - February 06 2016

Good times and welcome to 06 February 2016. This is what *better* be the first of a great many shows back on @TBRNLive as I've missed doing shows, and one hasn't happened from this neck of the woods since 2013. Let's see what happens. In this show, we start off with an Andy Narell track called Chocolate Fog, moving onto a few of my own newer compositions, before delving into midi-creation, being joined by a few old friends and well-known faces, and we end up showing off the sounds from a few Kontakt libraries.

The Louis Bin - November 23 2013 - Break It Down!

Good times and welcome to 23 November 2013. This show was trackless other than my own compositions, and starts off with recordings I made with my Jecklin disk. After that, we delve into what makes up a 21-track midi file which can be found on iTunes and that I hope you will enjoy.

The Louis Bin - April 28 2012 - Starting late edition

Good times and welcome to 28 April 2012. This show was the first show hosted by me on TBRN since 2011 and I thought, was very enjoyable indeed. I hope you all will like it too. Containing Korg iKaossilator loops I made, new midi's from all my hardware, phone calls, and much talk about the outside world and examples there of. Also managed to throw in some ninjam towards the end of the show and bulk it up somewhat. If you wish to have a copy of all my Korg iKaossilator loops to date, feel free to download the entire zip archive found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34719098/Onj_iKaossilator.zip Enjoy the show.

The Larfy Bin - February 02 2013

Good times and welcome to 02 February 2013. This was a very unplanned show and we had no idea it was going to happen. Andre decided he was going to broadcast at the very last minute and the show was rather fun. We have two tracks which is one more than the usual, then we get down to showing off some of the sounds in the Yamaha Motif-Rack ES sound module. Unlike the last show where we played the auditions for each sound, Andre actually played the sounds on his keyboard to give you a better idea of what's on offer in this synth, and touched upon some other sounds not heard in the previous show.

The Larfy Mad Bin - January 12 2013

Good times and welcome to 12 January 2013. This show as most are, was pretty crazy, enjoyable and the first with Andre's new computer, some new midi gear, and first after his daughter was born. We play with midi gear after the obligatory track and a few phone calls, and Arfy does a midi conversion live on air. It was fun and enjoyable for it's broadcasters, and we hope the broadcastees as well.

The Larfy Juno Bin - January 14 2012

Good times and welcome to 14 January 2012. This show was great fun for it's broadcasters, and by all accounts, broadcastees too. We start off with one track, then procede to phone calls then plenty of teamtalk, much use of the Dolphin Juno synthesiser and other assorted mad happenings. This is also Andre's first show for 2012.
