A good Saturday.

Sick. Is the Deckard’s DIY?

jayhosking · 2019-09-22T02:54:36.684Z

Not DIY, sadly. While I might have been able to acquire the skills for the DIY, I definitely don’t have the time (nor, I suspect, the patience) for that size of job. It sounds wonderful, though!

This new setup feels like it’s properly taking shape and I feel more comfortable with it every day. Recorded a simple piece today: https://youtu.be/tZlGRUOSeys

Split space bars are so nice.

I’m doing a gig on October 25th (supporting Pye Corner Audio), so am playing with minimal electronica again (kind of on a plastikman vibe). I’m getting quite a bit of mileage out of this setup:

No computer!

Noisetrees · 2019-09-25T15:30:59.534Z

Wow! Would love to see you and Pye Corner Audio play live!

What’s under the dark energy?

namke · 2019-09-25T15:42:32.106Z

@mateo It’s a Yamaha FX500 – almost constantly set on patch 40 (“Soft Focus”). Apparently it’s what the FX500 is known for Slowdive used it a lot .

I plan to have some recordings available on the night so am working in that direction with my nightly ‘rehearsals’.

The Dark Energy and FX500 also appear here on the “by rights i shouldn’t be here at all” EP posted above (//// pictures of our sound-making machines ////).

Thinking about it, all but the Zed10 have been fixed by me. That actually feels quite pleasing!

@Noisetrees & @cour13r5 - this is the kind of sounds I’m making as of yesterday… straight to stereo, no post processing/editing. I think it’s getting somewhere

Latest tracks + videos Releases

rehearsing/practicing/writing for a gig coming up in October (25th, supporting Pye Corner Audio which I’m really excited about). Using a minimal setup and seeing what comes out (kinda Plastikman I guess). Each practice is getting better, and I can feel what’s working and what’s not - this was yesterday’s effort: (recorded straight to stereo, no post processing — kit list on the soundcloud page)
