Thanks to everyone who came out to the Clue to Kalo/Unrecnow/Oo-Ray show on Weds...it was a ton of fun!
Warts and all, here is an mp3 of my live set: link (Or you can listen to it live here: link ).
Playing live is quite a challenge for me. This set went ok, but I think it could have been better. Part of the challenge is organizing the material in an interesting way so the set has an overall shape. Here is a list of concepts that I came up with before I performed (sort of my own mini oblique strategies):
*Slow development
*Joy when possible (but earned)
*Detuning = confusion & ectascy
*Darkness and Noise
*Channel Emotions and frustrations out
*Subvert Expectations
*Trust yourself to let go
*Tension & Release
*Contrasts
*Beautiful -> noisy -> chaotic -> relief
My setup lately has incorporated both the excellent Time Freezer and the super awesome Sooperlooper plugin. Time freezer is a granular resynthesizer excellent for making drones to solo on top of, and sooperlooper is an excellent looping plugin. If you haven't used it, it has unlimited overdubbing (with undo and redo), you can change playback speed and direction (excellent for the reverso bits) at any time, as well as lots of other features I've barely scratched the surface of.
I think next time I will come in with more prewritten themes and try to improvise based off of those - it will give me a little more security. | |

I have it set to drone at an octave below what I play - and have the pitch of it set to an expression pedal for huge detuning fun. 
The one thing I wish was that the freeze button was momentary - it's latching in the current implementation."
I bought it, it's awesome!

Sweet...I know that affiliate check is in the mail.
Actually, I'd be a time freezer salesman even if they didn't pay me.

You should wait for my next release: "Music to poop by" - it features sub bass frequencies guaranteed to get things 'moving'
