I just came across this through someone's signature on the
8bit Collective forums that said "New album of dusty lo-fi songs out now," and of course if something is "dusty lo-fi" I'm probably going to want to check it out(mostly for the ironic value, but oftentimes I do run into some good self-proclaimed "lo-fi" albums). I'm always into live electronics so when I saw the live set album, it was a match made in heaven. This is
really well done, I would have killed to have been at this show.
Best explained by the artist himself on the bandcamp page:
A forty minute live set, recorded digitally from mixer to computer on the 18th of september 2010, Shanghai.
Running Reaktor 5, Ableton, Controlled via midi.
All the beat mashing, mixing of the tracks,sample triggering was done live. Most of the synths were also played live, any pulse wave, sine, piano, you hear is probably being played live (slightly messily i'll admit in places).
The set is almost entirely one hundred bpm head nod speed.
This was during a night of live electronics from many other great artists. A wicked crowd, heavy on music nerds made it a really nice one.
We had the artists performing on glitchy tv's and a VJ doing some head-phucking live visuals and databending.
I hope you enjoy this live set, please feel free to spread the word like a nasty little STD.
Good things to you all.
