My recent live set - listen and give me feedback
 

Hi,

I havent't shared any of my music lately, so it's time to reconsider.

This is my last live set (I played it last Saturday on a local festival). It's almost purely analog drone, with just minor digital touches here and there, plus manipulated vocals through software. It was loud as fuck when I played it. I enjoyed myself.

Tell me what you think. Any feedback appreciated.

Listening to it now and it sounds fantastic to me. I hear what sounds to me like bottles around the 13 minute mark, how did you create that sound?

A MP3 hook up would be appreciated : )

jesus christie slavo. you need to get to working on avant garde film scores man. Enjoyed hearing this while at lunch. helped me detach from the work day.

do you mean that rather quiet looped sound in the background? that's a sample, granulated through Audiomulch software.
thanks for kind words.

sounds a shit better than Thurston's latest single we all unanimously shit on ;)

I enjoyed it. Ambient. Meditative yet inspiring. I especially like when it goes more "chaotic" towards the middle. What I think its missing is something more fierce and guttural. Like maybe run more of those ambient strings through a distortion filter to add some teeth (like you did from 9:50-11:03)? Also, maybe use a deeper flange to add to that "whooshing" sound? It could just be me, I like fierceness in my ambient soundscapes.

In other words..

great, fantastic! thanks for your feedback :). I'm having a minor issue with my computer lately (the new version of OSX doesn't properly recognize any of my soundcards) and hence I can't use Ableton to its full extent and was pretty limited in terms of software usage. Also, my analog synth is only 4track, thus it was quite a challenge to build up the whole liveset on them.

man, i fucking love "in white rooms" so i'm looking forward to this

will let you know...

thats really nice, i love the "bleeps" at the begining

listening to the rest of your sundcloud now

thanks man

I like the beginning, there's a nice krauty touch to it (that phased sounds probably)
The dissolution bits around 6-8min are cool. But some of the sounds around minute 8 do sound a bit weird (like answering machine or telephone).
At 9:40 it gets really interesting. I like the seething soundscape in the background that gets a bit louder at that point. Sounds like Mephisto making butter-popcorn. The metal-clashing samples are nice too.
Maybe it could get a bit more harsh and nasty, so that this more smooth and quite part that gets introduced around minute 12 is more of a contrast?
I like the bubbling sounds around 14, when i close my eyes, it's a tiny helicopter that tries to lift that dead mouse that's been lying in the corner of my room that i'm too afraid to touch.
+ it kinda reminds my Bruce Haacks Electric Luficer Book 2.
Oh no, helicopter is going away.
I like the ending, not too sure about those short scratching sounds around 16:30
