Music for me and Andrej Avramovic to slide over car bonnets
Locals seem pretty smart here!
New Zealanders are known for their ingenuity and many local musicians have taken novel musical approaches to achieve international success. This creative attitude extends to local inventors and entrepreneurs, who have come up with some innovative gadgets to aid and inspire music makers in their creative process. This list attempts to capture some of the broad range of musical products that are designed, and often built, here in Aotearoa.
Incredibly proud to have been involved with this:
More than two years ago, I bought a µFreak, it is easily the most fun synth I’ve had in 30 years… but I had a few thoughts…
So, I had a conversation with the brilliant welcoming people at Arturia.
That ended up with me being quite deeply involved in the development of this absolutely superb instrument.
The Arturia miniFreak, If your a synth geek, I definitely recommend checking it out.
And the lovely Loopop seems to like it !
Sublime
Just more chilled noise
just more chilled noise
Dall-E is quite fun.
A Slam Edit… then the Exhausting version…
This is a long free flowing improvisational work, performed simultaneously from opposite ends of the earth using a rather brilliant web based looper.
Just very VERY poorly edited (NeedleDrop) set of moments from a 2 and a half hour session with Patrick Higgins, aka… Badrico.
We are both contributing synthetics, and percussion etc… Patrick via a wind controller and keys, (I think), while i’m playing Bass, Electric Guitar, µFreak and Percussion with some real time processing and sound effects.
Mix is a mess because its a live performance and we have to manage as we go…
Just Hit Play: and trance out for 23 mins.
Or… if your a sucker for punishment, or need a longer time out…
The 90 min version, Still some bad edits…
A Review! from the ever inquisitive sonic explorer Marc Weidenbaum who runs https://disquiet.com/ an essential site and mail list for anyone interested in sonics.
“Thanks. I dig this. It’s spacious and succinct at the same time, It’s got a Bill Laswell vibe a bit.”
THIS!
I LOVE the Internet.
THIS,(link) is brilliant use of Scot Rails release of its announcement audio.The samples are all HERE! https://scotrail.datasette.io/scotrail/announcements
Just to prove how great humans CAN be!
Some nice work from some members of TriangleKult
Some serious skills from Badrico, Foid, SlowGaffle and … me.
