[Live From Vapor City]

Machinedrum - Vizion / Center Your Love / SeeSea

RA Sessions (more info/credits)

Δεν είχα ιδέα πως ο αμερικάνος παραγωγός Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) είχε στήσει τέτοιο ωραίο live setup -με την συμμετοχή και "κανονικού" drummer (Lane Barrington)- για τις ανάγκες της ζωντανής αναπαράστασης του εξαιρετικού περσινού Vapor City (Ninja Tune) και μάλιστα έδινε και τέτοιες εμφάνισεις όπως αυτή που περιγράφεται παρακάτω:

"There are a few aspects of the latest Machinedrum live show that are notoriously tricky to get right. For starters, the set is based on a concept album, itself so often a creative dead-end. Then there's the presence of a drummer, something that rarely makes sense with club music. And it's also important to consider the music's tempo, which regularly exceeds 160 BPM. All of which makes it doubly impressive that the show is killer. 

At RA's SXSW showcase earlier this year, Travis Stewart, the man behind Machinedrum, and Lane Barrington, his highly talented drummer, moved the music around the districts of Vapour City, the imaginary metropolis that Stewart's latest album is based on. The video projection, created by the visual artist Weirdcore, perfectly complemented Stewart's humid style of footwork and jungle. The show climaxed with Barrington playing standing up, as Stewart thrashed on his guitar at the front of the stage."

 Μια πολύ καλή ιδέα μπορούμε να πάρουμε από το άρτι αφιχθέν session για το Resident Advisor παραπάνω (full-screen, volume up, κλπ, εννοούνται, έτσι;) αλλά το σημαντικό είναι κάποιος κάπως να τον/τους φέρει ΑΜΕΣΑ για μια ζωντανή εμφάνιση στην Αθήνα. Ευχαριστώ.
