As far as tutorials for the MPC1K go, there's not a ton of great ones admittedly. A lot of it is somewhat intuitive, and then the manual can help with the specifics (bit of a language barrier).
Main JJOS site: http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/
Manual (for JJOS 2XL, which is what you'd want): http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/os_manual.htm

I should go on the youtubes and try to find some more in depth talks about the machine. Tried to search, but there does not seem to be any people posting their MPC1000 jams from scratch. There are some who have prepared sessions and projects, which is cool too but not exactly what I want.
I use an MPC1000, you can definitely overdub MIDI while a sequence is running. That's standard issue for all Akai MIDI sequencers and transport controls. The JJOS firmware (an old Akai employee who basically filled out the potential functionality of the MPC1000 and MPC2500 after leaving the company) really opens up the potential of the device.

One would be so lucky that this would kill off the superstar DJ culture but most likely won't. The big festivals will be on hiatus this summer and probably back next year or at latest 2022.
I'm not sure how I would feel if the local underground forest party scene gets revitalized this summer due to the pandemic, lol.
You're probably right. It's the last line that I was dreaming about next year, under some hope that this all goes away.

Silver lining: This will likely kill off most corporate-sponsored music festivals.

the ios app is probably one of the best sounding synths, real or vst, i have ever used.
2nd this
X-Mod is one of my favorite things about synthesis and the Mono/Poly is one of the most interesting for it.

A friendly tip: There's a great iOS app called Patch Base where you can get editors for a lot of the synths mentioned in the last couple pages and many others. Developer is a nice guy. Not too expensive.

Criterion Channel has most of the Maurice Pialat films up for streaming this month. While a shelter-in-place order may not be the best time to watch "We Won't Grow Old Together", I'm not passing it up.
Pialat's Van Gogh biopic rules.

Uhhh what? GDP, still behind US and EU. Soft power? Maybe 20 years ago when they had a bunch of innovative filmmakers coming out of Hong Kong, but what was the last Chinese film to make any impact on the art world, let alone the mainstream? Meanwhile, South Korea, a population with a 10th that of China’s is killing it with those ridiculous boy bands and girl groups, and parasite. Japan’s anime still gives it way more soft power than China.
China flexes its money/military in Africa and SE Asia (military there more than anywhere else) but don’t kid yourself, the last 5 years have been a terrible drag down of the good will the Chinese had built up.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Souls_(2018_film)

Elevator to the Gallows directed by Louis Malle, Is on mubi. Excellent classic noir shots and scenes. The plot sometimes relies on its characters making ridiculous decisions but it also has some clever moments, and overall an entertaining watch

Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak I was able to work from home twice a week. Now it's every day. My county just put a non-essential travel lockdown as of midnight tonight and that includes my office. So as of tomorrow I have no choice but to work from home.
Having to conduct big Skype meetings over VPN isn't super fun.

Yes! Heimat II is even better (imo). I haven't seen Heimat III.
I've got the first 2 on the old Kino dvd boxsets and they look like shit but there's a very nice-looking R2 restoration of the first series out on blu ray. I need to get that soon.

Covid-19 does sound like an Aphex track title. He has also released an ep where all tracks were names of viruses.

Is it supposed to celebrate tech progress, or is it focusing on the ineffable nature of certain human experiences?
Going by the source material, it's certainly not supposed to present technology in as bleak and ineffective way as Tarkovsky did. Personally I'm not looking for a full-throated endorsement of technology or futurism or whatever, but I do think that Tarkovsky's own preferences toward things that are more earthly or even spiritual/mystical make the sci-fi aspects of this film a bit weak.
To counter with Stalker, which I think is a brilliant statement on humanity's recklessness with technological and scientific exploration. Ironically, the authors of that novel also hated Tarkovsky's adaptation.

It's not just the relationship with his father that is a message vehicle. It's also the attitude of the scientists aboard that vessel, and above all, his late wife(!) (I should've pointed that out earlier). The deep inner workings of a man (or woman) are as hidden as the existence of that sentient planet. How is that possible? Kris is an expert on human psyche, he is a psychologist. If anyone, he should know best. But he doesn't. He is as lost as anyone. They were able to understand how to bring people to this remote part of the universe, along with everything they need up to the point it's almost rudimentary (Kris arrives there as if by a bus), but they are unable to understand what is happening with them inside each one of them. They don't know how to deal with it. It's driving them crazy. Don't you think this shows a big gap between understanding rocket science and human nature (or nature in general)?
What is making the characters looking away, as you adequately put it, is the inability to face one another and retain one-self.
I think it's the attempt by Tarkovsky to humble people who all too soon are celebrating technological advancements and neglecting all other aspects that make us human, or part of this universe.
I think I address what you're talking about in the first paragraph in my spoiler. Again, there is one critical moment (Brueghel and Bach) where Tarkovsky stops everything to show that there can be a human (and in this case, not quite human as well) connection. Specifically with something that Tarkovsky would classify as visual (Brueghel) and audio (Bach, as interpreted by Artemyev) poetry. Tarkovsky always made a point of this in all his films. That where you cannot make a psychological connection with humanity and the earth, you can make a spiritual one through art (and specifically poetry). This is also why I consider it as bias of Tarkovsky's. Among many things, Tarkovsky's father was a famous poet...
In your last statement, I think we're saying the same thing. That's what I was getting as classifying Tarkovsky as a Luddite. I don't see anything in that film which actually celebrates technological progress, which is why I specifically used that term.

I think Tarkovsky makes it quite clear that there are more aspects to the human domain than technology and its advance. And that all those domain should be pursued with the same vigour as the technology.
The analogy with his relationship with his father works as a narrative vehicle for this: what good is your success in life when you can't share it (live it) with your closest ones? Ergo: what good are we to ourselves and our environment as a species if we propagate only one aspect of life and completely ignore other?
Rather than saying Tarkovsky is against technology, one should rather say he's against technology being the sole measure of advancement as a species.And I completely agree with that.
I don't think Solyaris is a clear representation of that message at all. I've always personally seen it as Tarkovsky promoting a Luddite view. I'm not left feeling like he sees much by way of hope or progress in technology. Just a threat that can be provoked.
As far as the relationship with his father, I would counter that the failures in their relationship are on both sides. I think it would be a misread to see it as Kris just being too stubborn rather than a more natural human failure to connect (regardless of philosophy). The scenes between them employ the classic Tarkovsky technique of each character looking away. So it's as much of a failure of the father and his appreciation of nature.

Dang it, in that spoiler I had re-worded it and meant to say "towards" and forgot to remove "against". That looks hilarious now.
