about

Documenting a trio of tightly-knit concerts in Geneva (Cave 12), Eupen (Alter Schlachthof), & Copenhagen (Alice), this collection demonstrates, in exhaustive detail, the form & shape that this particular strain of Live Electronic Music has taken over the course of Summer, 2019.

Turning a new leaf & opting to perform almost exclusively in Quad (while the Geneva & CPH concerts were spatialized on-site, Eupen was a Quad sub-mix into a Stereo system) and while completely sober, these long-form melds on a newly implemented four-tier, 11-voice canon generator system (comprised of a sum total of 10 digital & 1 analog oscillator) were coupled with collated percussion data from Migos producer 808Godz as well as a vast library of General MIDI PCM, all convolved against a selection of carefully mined transients derived largely from recordings of the sculptures of Joep Van Lieshout.

Peppered by a series of asides (sketches made on airplanes on the Teenage Engineering OP-Z [an absolutely fantastic tool used throughout this music both in the studio & in concert] as well as interstitial & soundcheck materials [rife with errant saxophone soloing] this is an attempt to push forward with a series of quick, "warts-and-all" releases of the otherwise ephemeral music heard at these exact events, respectively, chronologically, that is the sum total of current musical activity.

released September 11, 2019

Specific geographic & temporal thanks to Pedro Gomes & Rudi de Brito, Michael/David & all at Meakusma, Sixto & all at Cave 12, & Andreas/Freya & all at Alice.

In addition, specific technical & resource-oriented thanks to Joseph/Jeannot & all @ 4ms (if you need a ringing endorsement for their SWN, this is it), Josh @ Topobrillo (ditto his Quantimator, of which there are 3x in use here), Devin/Walker @ MakeNoise, Andre @ ADDAC, David @ Bubblesound, and everyone else that made this particular setup a reality.

PS. Several have asked for pointers to specific pieces within this (understandably) insurmountable collection for focused listening. While the Alice set overall is my favorite of the three sound/form-wise, there's a great 10-minute segment in the middle of the second half of the Meakusma set that is as close to what I had in mind while researching/developing these systems as I've been able to perform in front of an audience: I've made that particular track FREE, so please go ahead and add it to your collection! If you like it, you'll likely enjoy the rest.
