This is a ‘live-at-home’ (ie. one take, no edits) recording of some solo synthesizer.Bit too heavy of the echo and classic ’space-synth’ vibes for the record i’m working on, but figured I was pretty fun just the same so up here it goes.
enjoy.
If you would like me to bring the blips to a room in your town please email john [at] room40 [dot] org.
ta!
this one is for the gold, all the way and all the time. holy family is the modular synth duo of lawrence english and john chantler (room40 extraordinaires). and you know what’s coming. it opens onto a putrid, rotting corpse hanging from the bedchamber. chantler & english aren’t fuckign around. their synths sound like they’re dying, every note stretched to the point of breaking oscillating into the ground. this is not child’s play.
before you know it your blood stops flowing, turned into a molasses. faint echoes try to scratch their way to the surface, totally buried alive. every so often you think you hear a melody whirring from behind, but everything gets swallowed back down into this deep, dark pit. intense. incredible. edition of 125.
Thanks to all who came to OPENFRAME. good times. Great sounds.
A quick final blast before the year ends in the shape of a gig with Bradford Bailey at Brown Gallery, Hoxton Square this coming wednesday 16th December… will update with times etc as I know more… i think i’m playing drums. likely to be raw and a bit punk.
ROOM40 will be 10 in 2010. We’re doing a series of cassettes and Lawrence and I will be doing a side each of the first one. I’ve just put the pre-order up, so if you are keen, I’d recommend getting in soon as we’re only doing 100.
Rest of the line-up looks awesome, too:
RMTP402 – TAYLOR DEUPREE vs PIMMON
RMTP403 – DJ OLIVE vs ERIKM
RMTP404 – ULRICH KRIEGER vs BEN FROST
RMTP405 – TENNISCOATS vs LEIGHTON CRAIG
RMTP406 – SPECIAL GUESTS – a secret for now!
