- phew you know you're in for a ride when you have to unpack the title!
- I'm jonnay, and it's time for Archetypal ped-a-goe-gey
- peda-jo-gie pedajojy peda-gah-ji
- is art, science and craft of being a teacher
- One thing out of the way
- Archetypes are not what you think.
- quasi-universal-symbols
- map is not the territory
- 'hero' is an expression of the archetype, but not the archetype.
- no mystical things here
- Good news you can buy a book about it at sportinggoodsoutdoor.com reselling amazon goods and polluting search results since 2010

- "Think about it" Lyn Collins, favorite break
- K, got it? no? Good.
- Icarus Archetype
- soo ummm… yea…
- i'm… ummm…. jonnay, at www.jonnay.net,
- um big stereo approved dot com and umm
- i'm gonna show you how to breakbeat with "Think about it"
- so umm… let's just stare at Ableton for awhile
- The teachers wax wings will MELT in the UNFORGIVING SUNLIGHT if the TEACHER LACKS HUMILITY.
- Yea… that.
- So there is the idea of the co-learner, you might remember from the intro
- "Embarassing amount of stuff I don't know about music production."
- co-learner is balanced between two archtypes
- The Sage, who has conqured many challenges and has a deep understanding
- The Novice, who is just starting their journey
- BOORRRINNNGG. Lets talk about breakbeats!
- "it takes two to make a thing go right!"
- So this is the song "Think (About it)" from Lyn Collins
- K, so this record was released on "People records" in 1972
- people records is a label owned the godfather of soul, all-father-of-funk, James Brown
- Worth noting that some of the most sampled most awesome breaks come from musicians working with Mr Brown.
- Funky Drummer, along with amen and think one of hte most sampled breakbeats in history
- HotPants
- Soul Pride (one of my faves)
- people records is his label to showcase the musicians he has worked with, Lyn Collins a backup singer
- Not actually related to One of Mr. browsns bassist Bootsy Collins
- So there is so much to this breakbeat that is amazing. In particular the tambourines, likely handled by James brown, have a very characteristic sound
- in practically every single aphrodite track EVAR
- But there are all these calls going on in the background, adding to it's characteristic sound
- "It takes two to make it out of sight!"
- Ok, so the whole thing about being a co-learner is that you are both Sage and Novice,
- listening to and giving the call to adventure.
- in fact, consider this anoter call to adventure and go check out this video
- "it takes two to make a thing go right"
- So if you grew up in the 80's, you'll recognize this from Rob Base and DJ Easy rock
- But they sampled it, along with another 150 other Hithop artists alone.
- Let alone the Junglists!
- Something about this break. Serioous serious grove to it.
- This song has 5 drumbreaks in it, in a song 3 mins 23 seconds long.
- Sure, the Amen is special, and I will talk about it, but producer or not, I really encourage you to listen to this break
- consider how the drums sound and how they compare to how drums "should" sound
- now listen to how they're used, 2 of my favorites are linked into the doobly doo
- T-Power octogon
- SquarePusher come on my selector. Also a hella cool video. Music starts 3 minutes or so into it.
- "it takes two to make it out of sight"
- So… hopefully I have opened your mind a little into breakbeats, and why guys like us go nuts over em.
- If you are an ableton guy, I have provided a Drum rack I call
- "The mother of all think breaks"
- Links in the doobly do as usual.
- I finally redesigned my site, go check it out!
- Oh, and frogs, rumors of my retirement were unsubstantiated. Glory to the machine mother.
