Since I'm trying to avoid buying new gear, I built myself a new sequencer engine for one section of my gig. It's a loose take on both Boiingg and Bupp!!, with some simple tricks for reversing playback of a trigger lane. Here's a quick demo...

Snap, Pop & Cracklebox @ UniqueBeats - April 2010

Played an OK set at UniqueBeats at the Roxy/Bowery, with stomach churning bass from me and Sean and some great crackle and fizz mangling from Lauren. Recording was a bit clipped (as always!), but got some good video. Sean is rocking his ASys rig and MS10, Lauren's got her Jen and Steim Cracklebox, and as ever I'm playing whatever's currently in my mongrel modular, with emphasis on Livewire AFG and MakeNoise QMMG.

Ongoing Dialogue(s) - March 2010

Kept up my record of playing at the Dialogues Festival of Electronic Music with a performance of Mute|Solo (among others) by me, Sean, Owen and Lauren working from my graphic score. You might also want to check our improvised 'Let's get out of here!' for a comedy ending!

40 not Out (of the Box) - November 2009

Celebrated my 40th by performing at the Out Of The Box event organised by Owen at UCL.

Played a piece of mine, one of Sean's plus some improv. Here's something starring me and Owen, but not Dave M-R, hence the title!

Mute|Solo - Oct 2009

The previously mentioned piece for sampled strings came out really well, and provided me with some new tools and moves. The CD project as a whole looks and sounds great and many of the pieces made it on to Radio 3 including some live performance by me!

See the photos and set list.

Look before you LLEAPP! May 2009
