Show Info (Reposted)-

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.

Thanksgiving 06 update!

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!

Oslo Norway – SUCCESS!

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 –

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! 🙂

OMG, an update in July!

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! 😀
