Mentat Mix

Another practice set from my home studio. Was in the mood for some slow building prog and techno, slowly warming things up. Goes a bit more Underworld at the end. All improvised as usual. Actual studio is a bit of a box room at the moment after moving house recently, but I've got enough room for the live gear and that's most of what I need really! Gear used: Torso T1 Sequencer - All sequencing BitBox Micro Sampler - Drums, percussion loops, some synth parts Mutable Instruments Plaits - Melodies and effect Doepfer Wasp filter - Filter on the Plaits Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas - Melodies Dopefer A-111-6 - Bass Knobula Poly Cinematic - Chords and melodies Make Noise Mimeophon - Delay and effects Jakkplug Monsoon (Mutable Instruments Clouds Clone) - Granular effects Bastl Pizza Crust - Percussion and occasional synth Blue Lantern Stereo Sir Mix Alot - Mixing Happy Nerding FX-Aid x2 - Reverb on everything and multi effects on the Poly Cinematic Mod Dwarf effects pedal - End of chain compression and mastering and some stereo whole mix hipass filtering and delay

A few weeks back I did an hour long 'Midnight set' at The Night Cafe, a really cool alternative venue in Aldgate in London. This is an hour of mostly improvised modular techno and progressive house, performed from right outside the ball pit. Check out all the other Night Cafe Midnight sets over on their channel. It's a great selection of live electronic music, many of the set from friends of mine: / @nightcaferadio Gear used: Torso T1 Sequencer BitBox Micro Sampler Mutable Instruments Plaits Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas Dopefer A-111-6 Knobula Poly Cinematic Make Noise Mimeophon Jakkplug Monsoon (Mutable Instruments Clouds Clone) Blue Lantern Stereo Sir Mix Alot Timo Rozendal FMP WMD MSCL Compressor God's Box and Thonk Humpback filter Mod Dwarf Forge tme Vhikk X Happy Nerding FX-Aid x2 Roland S-1

I'm looking forward to playing a midnight set at the Night Cafe in London this coming Friday, so I've been practicing and captured this hour of improvisation. Please with how this one went, starts out atmospheric and progressive, and then goes back and forth a bit between more rhythm driven techno and more melody driven progressive house. And a bit of breaks right at the end. It's tempting with this live stuff to go all one level and just try to keep the energy up all the time, so I've been working on having some light and shade and making the longer performances take more of a journey.

Live at Dublin Castle this week. Some more improvised grooves and melodies.

Headed to the 'Super Noodles' EMOM at Clapton in London to do a short improvised set. Didn't manage to get a proper video but here's the recording...
