Things are picking up pace in the studio, the EP is almost complete…had a major hard drive crash which killed me for about a month trying to restore everything from backups and reinstall all the software and endless plug-ins I use. As much as I’m ok for backing things up I still lost ‘some’ work [...]

Amon Tobin – ISAM
Posted: December 10, 2011 in Ableton, Animation, Audio, Computer Graphics, Live, Rendered, Sound and Lighting, Technology, VideoCool video behind the scenes look at the production of the Amon Tobin – ISAM tour. Heavy on the projection mapping, it takes the concept Étienne de Crécy pioneered a few years ago and takes it to the next level. Then Skrillex raised the bar again…but that’s a whole other post.

Brilliant stuff, 1 Mic and 2 x Kaoss Pad.
Interesting article here from The Guardian on the Kaoss Pad. One of the coolest pieces of kit we use is the Korg ‘Kaoss Pad’, ie: the little box covered in LEDs I play during the live show. Essentially it’s an effect box with a touch pad that I can use to mash up and glitch [...]
Works in progress get called the first thing that pops into my head when I click ‘Save’, giving you a rather Rorschachion insight into the creative process! Sometimes that stays, sometimes not. A few of the ones from the new album: Crack Rats (Rats that eat crack? Or something far more sinister?) Melodyne (I don’t [...]
