That’s right, I’m going back to Ground Kontrol! I will be performing live with: John Mendenhall and DJ Broken Window. I’ll be doing a few KaW songs and John will be doing a few WMD songs. Broken Window will be doing is usual with added twists! Don’t miss out on this awesome performance.

Additionally, we will be teaming up for a live beatbox jam. We’ll be making music live on stage. Complete improv where anything can happen! John will be representing Korg with the EMX Electribe, and I’ll be representing Roland with the MC-909.

Be sure to come on out and see the performance if you are local. (21+ only, sorry!)

It’s hard to believe I started the KW site almost a year ago? Yikes! Time is sure flying by!

I’d like to start off my update by thanking all the nice people for their comments about the October ITG news. It’s been a pleasure to receiving such positive emails & comments from players and fans from all over the world! Keep on Groove’n!

Things have been very busy lately in the music world for me. I just signed a deal to allow KaW music to be featured in several television networks and advertsiements. It should be rather exciting to hear tunes over these networks. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

The Most exciting news that I have; is the expansion of the studio this month. That’s right!; we have expanded the rack + synth arsenal by 30%! Please welcome the Roland JP8080 and the Emu Orbit3 to the KaW family. Additionally, the Electrix Warp Factory, Edirol um880, and Behringer rx1602 have also been installed to compliment the new additions. These new tools are incredible and have already sparked several musical ideas. I look forward to using my new audio paint brushes in the future songs.
I hope everyone had a great holiday, more news to come!

Well, I’m back in one piece thankfully! :O Foy and I had a lot of fun attending the Euro World Championships and I’ve finally added some photos to my Flickr page!

The concert went very well and a big THANK YOU goes out to “The Lost Satellites” for providing a video for the people that couldn’t make it. You can view a video of the performance and additional freestyle video from Foy and I HERE -

• NORWAY KaW PERFORMANCE!
• FOY AND KYLE ITG FREESTYLE FOR EUROPE!

It was great to see all the players from around Europe enjoying ITG. IT’s been really exciting watching ITG grow (from the small beta test machine at Ilussionz) to all different parts of the world. I was quite impressed with the players I saw and I do believe the skill levels are climbing rapidly. Thank you Europe and Positive Gaming. Machine Dance is here to stay!

Foyboy and I will soon be departing for the IDO European Championships and World Cup in Norway on the 11-13 of August. The event is said to have 70 different attendees from over 15 different countries! They’ll all be competing in the ultimate machine dance tournament to date.

Along with the fun of the event, I’ll also be doing a very small performance for the players who wish to attend. Over all, the entire event looks to be very promising! Foy and I look forward to meeting the Europe ITG players! Be sure to come on by and introduce yourself! As always, be sure to check back for a final summary/pictures of the event!

So, I’ve decided to finally do an update after a few months…. Yeah I know, better late then never.

The performance at ground kontrol went very well. John and I will be coing back to make some regular appearances at the venue. Big thanks to Ground Kontrol and DJ broken Window. We had a blast!

(here are some pictures of the performance, thanks John!)

Some poeople recognised that my Birthday was on the 4th. What did I do? I had a lot of fun, that’s what I did. I’ve updated my Flickr site with some photos from the day. i had to be very careful about selecting pictures; some were completely off the wall! (grin) JULY 4th 2006 - Kyle’s Birthday

(Big thanks to my Forum admin “Norbert” for calling me and wishing me a happy birthday.) Thank you also goes out to all the other people who recognised me/contacted me on the 4th as well!

Lastly, I’ve been hard at work revamping my sites. Be sure to drop on by and check out the new design at kyle-ward (dot) com. I’m hoping it’s more user friendly for people and a cleaner design. Toss me your thoughts here or fill out a question on the revamped FAQ section.

What’s going on in the ITG world? A lot! I can’t wait for the future ITG ports, it’s looking very good right now. I think everyone will be happy with the results.

Tell next time,

K out!

And what is X-tra cool, is that it is a “classic video game” arcade!
No ITG or DDR, but you CAN play some Galaga or maybe get your Donkey Kong on, I myself am kind of a Missile Command guy… And at the same time, rock out to your favorite KaW, Inspector K, When Machines Dream, Banzia, Oscillator X, Smiley, etc. tunes
Anyway, the show will rock and it’s FREE to anyone over 21.

So any PDX peeps, hope to see ya’ there!

I’m happy to report that both KaW CD’S “Synthsations” & “Urban Comatose” can now be purchased at your local Tower Records. I’ve been very happy with the release of these CD’s. Additionally, you might start to hear these play on your local electronic music stations. (If you are lucky to have them)

OscillatorX has also been in full force lately. It’s been a pleasure working with my old John Mendenhall after such a long break. People have really liked our latest Oscillator X track, “Dance All Night”.
We have more plans for tunes…just you wait!

I just got back from the Roxor 2005 Nationals in Las Vegas, NV. I had such a blast hanging out with the ITG players there. You are all incredible and I thank you for coming to the event. The Future of ITG is looking brighter then ever!

Urban Comatose has now been officially released! You can be the first to own your copy from my CDBABY outlet. You can purchase the album here! Thank you for supporting my music and allowing me to continue doing what I love. More exciting music is on the way!

Sincerely,

I just arrived in L.A from Atlanta. So far so good! I really can't wait to be home.


I've just been informed by Red Octane that we will be attending GENCOM in CA instead of Japan Expo. Sorry to the people who planned on attending J-Expo.


Now off to sleep for me...See you at GENCOM!
