Emancipation

subscriber exclusive

about

I'm developing a live set to play at Salon Ambientu, Warsaw, on 26th October 2024. This process involves building on the set I've played a few times now, including at Levitation recently, by taking the sequences further, swapping equipment and playing around with the spaces between the tracks. Emancipation is a new transition section between my first two tracks that I enjoyed playing today.

For this set, I'm going to use the Waldorf Blofeld in place of my Roland Juno 106. It's way smaller, so I can travel light, but I also hear and feel this harsher edge that feels right at the moment. It's still warm but more complex and "toothsome" (one of Hilary Robinson's terms).

I've also switched my little Mackie mixer for 1010 Music's Bluebox and that's solved a number of issues. It's reduced the size of my live set up and given me an effortless way to record on the fly. This will make it easier for me to share more music with subscribers – I've not been happy with my process or set-up for recording for a few months now and this is a big improvement.

Emancipation was recorded live on 16th October using Moog Mother 32 monosynth, Waldorf Blofeld polysynth, 1010 Lemondrop granular synth, Strymon Bluesky reverb, 1010 Bluebox digital mixer and Torso T-1 algorithmic sequencer. For now it's available to subscribers only - thank you so much again for all your support.

Huge thanks to D1G, Field Lines Cartographer and Polypores for all your help answering my questions about the Bluebox over the last week and to Dan Bean for all the detailed cable and mixer chats. We know how to have fun.
