stars of the lid

Been listening to and loving Stars of the Lid for a while! Great recommendation.

their predecessor aix em klemm was choice too..

just flicking though my collection, maybe llips off the u-cover label, and some of jeff mcillwain (aka lusine) does some processed guitar stuff too. you'd have to search though....if you browse the whole u-cover.com website you may find something of interest...
oh and troum as well has alot of guitar based drones. very nice stuff..

Does anyone here have any info on fennesz live set up? I mean, I have seen some pics but would love to know hoe its all connected and running?

cheers

Heh, Fennesz is strictly a Max/MSP guy when playing live.

He uses the lloopp patch. You can check out this great article here:

Since Max for Live has been announced, I've gotten more curious about lloopp. There's a link in that article, but you can check it out here:

http://lloopp.klingt.org/plone/lloopp

Check out the screen shots section. It's like 50 control screens at NASA.

One of the things I've read about lloopp is that it's easy to generate feedback loops that you can then manipulate and mangle.

I'm going to give this one more....

i don't know. I just remember his guitar run through a POD...
I saw him live 3 times. instense moments, though he has a weird way to end his shows (which I don't like, it's almost like "ok, enough for tonight, let's press stop"). But in a live context, his textures sounds awesome, really.
I DEEPLY recommand the "live in japan" from FENNESZ. it's a perfect mix between "Endless summer" and "Venice", my 2 favorite records of him. The encore is incredible (but, again, the end is messed).

Hey BOB, been listening to your tracks on MySpace. Excellent stuff. I really liked Nude and Freezing. It has this kind of Jah Wobble/Bill Laswell thing happening. Great.

wow, thank you very much for this link... that looks scary and sounds interesting at the same time!!!

amazing that is free.. I will give it a try for sure!

were you using the NMG2 as a synth, or as an FX Processor?
I know that David Torn was using one for a while.
I've pluged my guitar into it a couple of times, but i haven't figured out a way
to fit it into the work flow in that capacity yet.

NMG2 was used mostly as a processor and router, although I did use it with an axon for a little while, for synth stuff.

oh, thank you very much !!
i'm happy that some people could like it, cause I had to do it in a very short time, and used just one monitor system... so I really messed the mix and the filtered voices, on some speakers (especially bad systems), sometimes sound awful (distortion on the passed-frequencies) in a way I didn't expect..
the thing I'm happy about, beside the switch to 5/4 bars (except one), is that I just used one bar of guitar, drums and choirs/synths, and part of the vocals to do the whole remix, on a totally blank page (no quantification on the sequencer, I wasn't using Live at that time, a bit like in the tape tradition).


thank you for the info too, I didn't realize Fennesz was using Max !

[eisnein]

thanks for sharing so many tidbits Overclock!!! so mega awesome to catch a few songs at Warper and see the videos from what i missed! David Torn was/is using a Nord Modular as far as I know.

also- just gave Cougar and Hans Blix my daily listen and man that Dan Venne rocks the guitar!

[aisling]

Thank you for all the various links, I have been enjoying listening to some great new music that I have not been exposed to. Cheers and best wishes for creativity and inspiration to everybody.....

Neither one are very computer-related. But they are undeniably awesome.

gosh I am so far behind the times, I remember when sonic youth, the butthole surfers, the spaceman 3 and early monster magnet (tab 25) were considered "experimental" guitar music.......

[the0verclock]

Part 3 is done and now I'm ready to prep for the next gig...
