yes this is the best part. love the track
Itās funny, my mate and I have actually gone back and forth over whether that effect ends up being too silly or no, so Iām honestly thrilled to hear yāall enjoyed it. (Itās been known to pop up here and there throughout previous sets, etc.)
About to give this a listen for the first time.
Seriously. Thanks so much for listening and the kind words, guys.
Hey guys. I just wanted to share a recent online performance, as well as offer an apology for the dry spell in communication/ media posts. <3
Glad youāre back!!
Cheers, good sir.
I hope youāre taking care/ keeping sane. <3
Lovely.
Nice build up. Great tension. Very well done.
Thanks so much for listening, guys. Iām glad yāall dug.
I know Iām late to this thread, but this is great! More!
So I was invited to perform at Defunktās 6th Anniversary celebration in June. I was also asked to cover photos, as Iād been covering events for that venue prior to Covid.
Following my set, I was approached by a fest organizer who offered some incredibly kind words, and that heād ask me to contribute a set to his fest this year, if the roster hadnāt already been filled. We agreed on a 90 minute slot next year.
A month ago, I reached out to him about doing photo coverage for this year. In response, he let me know that theyād had a cancellation, and that Iād be more than welcome to fill in.
As a result, Iām a touch mortified to inform any readers that Iāll be opening for Richard Devine in 2 weeks as apart of Astronox:
Thatās awesome! Congratulations! Seeing how awesome the stuff youāve put out on YouTube is, you will ace this!
Hope you put up the set for everyone to enjoy, if possible.
congrats! thatās really awesome
My thinking has been that Iād hold off posting sets featuring unreleased content until a home is settled upon, but maybe thereās a better perspective to have that Iāve not considered.
Really appreciate the vote of confidence/ kind words. If anyoneās got tricks for managing nerves in these instances, Iām all ears.
Your last live set was amazing manā¦ Iām sure youāll kill it with your current rig.
And opening up for Devine is bananas! So cool.
This reminded me to have a listen againā¦ and your stuff is brilliant. Youāre gonna have an amazing timeā¦
As for keeping your nerves in check, Iāve always had a pre gig ritual of internally just bashing myself to hell, āno ones gonna care etc.ā not in a self harming way but rather an intentional way to keep me humble. That together with really fucking loving to perform seems to do the trick for meā¦ sucky advise I know, but thatās my ritualā¦
This is the best thing Iāve heard in a bit.
Previously, Iāve always fallen back on āIām gonna die at some point. Stop worrying about what may or may not happen, and just live as fully as you can while you can.ā
Thanks again (everyone) for the kind words. <3
Yes exactly thatās perfect!
this is great stuff
Alrighty, hereās a tune from the set that got me a spot opening for Richard Devine.
some set-up notes
1 - The generative visuals being projected behind me were self-programmed in Max/ Jitter.
2 - The eurorack at the back of my roadcase is being used to mangle the A4ās CV signals, then convert to MIDI for use in Max/ Jitter, as well as mult each for sending back to the control inputs across all of my kitās devices.
3 - Youāll occasionally see me reach down to my right side to address my KMI QuNeo for accessing the A4ās aftertouch, modwheel and breath modulations.
EDIT: The stuff happening from 3:58 to the end is A4 only, and I donāt believe Iāve heard it do such things before.
Most specifically, 4:22 is where A4 goes hardest.
Hereās the first section of what will likely be the title track off the album. Cheers.
EDIT: To anyone whoās already seen some of this on insta, reels were limited to 90 sec when I posted it there + this is 3 min.
