Hi >- Jega on "Stainless Steel Drum" ( I'm pretty sure that's the track, anyway >it's on SKA009 and the funniest thing was that the friend I was with >had just bought it and had it with him, so David showed us the part >in question ) In fact, he was so mad that on the day after he thrashed his MIDI controller -both feet joined in stomping- like a post-grunge IDM-Cobain at the end of a realy hot "Musique Actuelle" set with Montreal's Martin Tetrault. Or was it more like Reznor's DX7 bashing? Anyway, it was an awesome night set in a private loft in Plateau Mont-Royal. David Kristian played (what sounded to me like) live impros with two Cello and Luth scratchers. Low synth drones, leaving space for the higher pitch stuff that the other guys played. He later came back on mid range sound scapes with Martin Tetrault, the turn-tablist that uses vary-speed 2-arm decks and delay stomp boxes. For those of you interested in low-fi crackle loops mostly originating from custom scratched blank vinyls, I suggest you check-out: http://www.cam.org/~dame_cd/mus/tetreault.html On the Ambiances Magnetiques label web page. Overall a truely an amasing set! I'll try to ask him next time if the controler bashing was an "artistic statement" Cough! Cough! Or more a vengeange over faulty gear. I know that pisses me off, especially live. -------------- while(1)fork();
