Last night we performed at Artsmith Gallery in Derby, promoting my good friend Todd's exhibition opening. It was great to see two art forms come together in such a creative way. We played a nice long set and I was able to explore a lot more live manipulation techniques using both Ableton Live and the Maschine's capabilities. Shep laid down some fantastic grooves as well, providing the backbone for the improvisations. To add to the mix, my mate Jonesy put down some spoken word and MC'd over top of our tunes which sounded ace. Here is a video of him performing on his own before hand.
Performing alongside us was local psychedelic electronic outfit THE GALLIVESPIANS who set up next to our stuff to create a performance space that was in the round, allowing punters to stroll around the edge and immerse themselves in the artwork.
Shep & I really enjoyed ourselves and are looking into organising another live event at this venue with an audio-sensory theme...
