Bernie Kenerson "Bernzilla"

Yeah man! I got four songs completely done and ready for Vegas today.  Now I've finished the ten new songs I wanted just for Vegas. I'm using my full sonic palette on my MacBook played/controlled live with EWI4000s, Keith McMillen SoftStep and 12 Step.  The ten new tracks are all different; ambient, world, organic, orchestral, electro, house, techo, drum & bass (2), smooth jazz/chill, and straight ahead jazz.  I'm playing and controlling all kinds of stuff with my EWI using Live8 and Reason.  It's…

New video from Science Factory! ~ wanted to capture a session where you can see us all playing together. No overdubs. No post-editing. Raw jammin'! Enjoy!

In their NYC debut, Science Factory will be playing a very special DnB set with special guest Paul Christian.

Science Factory is an idea three different people had, and began to develop soon after meeting. In fact, even after they met, the idea just kept floating around for awhile. Ideas are like that: floaty. Daniel Brady (Mixmaster Doc), Bernie Kenerson (Bernzilla) & Sam Favata (MC Troublepants) might seem an unlikely trio if you met them outside of a musical context. Brady(26) and Favata(29) met…

Here's a new site where I'll be teaching EWI & jazz. It's a fantastic resource for getting on the fast track to mastering EWI and Jazz Playing. Quamon Fowler has this site wired and going on for us. Check it out!

There are some basic EWI lessons and a very useful lesson on De-glitching, which applies to WX players too.

I will be adding over a dozen more lessons between now and the end of the year.  I'll also be scheduling a regular weekly interactive EWI master class, probably on Moday nights 8PM Eastern…

Just wanted to let you know that I'm currently hard at work on two new refills.  One is an Emulation Combinator refill that will have at least fifty combinators featuring sounds of real instruments and making big use of the powerful NN-XT sampler. They will be woodwinds, brass, strings, guitars, basses, keys, voices, ethnic and miscellaneous patches. Look for it by September.  I've also started work on my EWI Thor Refill Vol. 3. Just can't get enough of Thor!  All refills will be programmed for breath…
