David Hartunian I attended this concert as a high schooler! So happy to see it available on here. It was my first time hearing anything like this and definitely made an impression on me as a young listener. Favorite track: Concert (1).

about

One of the downsides of DAT maintenance is that they tended to get erased, entirely or partially, accidentally, frequently. A shame the second half of this tape was wiped out & I no longer have the alternate takes of the remixes of Oren Ambarchi's Sun, Jace "DJ /Rupture" Clayton, left-coast hip hop act Themselves, Japanese experimental electronic act No. 9, or the DJ Hekla & Hrvatski tracks & the Confusional Quartet flips that at some point occupied this tape (although the remixes at least live on as they were all commercially released & can be found on the respective Staubgold, TheAgriculture, Anticon, & Locust releases).

What we do get is a lovely concert of Live Electronic Music; one of the first truly post- Hrvatski sets, performed & recorded around the time I was looking to branch out from the pure laptop / "Playthroughs" systems into something else. The approach is somewhat peculiar in that there's actually no guitar on this, at all; the whole set, performed as an opening slot for Matmos' residency-concert in Harvard's Science Center, consists of real-time, Max-MSP processing of a reel-to-reel tape of instrumental & vocal improvisations - later cut up, very much in the mould of Anton Bruhin, and issued under the name "Fritz Dietl" on a Chocolate Monk disc - accompanied by a Sequential Circuits Pro One & an assortment of small music boxes, all run through a Max-MSP patch that extends the sounds spectrally into octaves & through time-based effects.

There's a bit of the soundcheck, then the full concert, then a raw transcription of the Webcor tape, recorded on site via microphone into the DAT machine.
