afteroblo
I played yesterday at oblo. Below are some pictures and a video.
Very few people came but from what I heard they enjoyed the show. Unfortunately I couldn’t do visuals as there was no plug that fit my video output.
As usual I can’t say much about my set. I had definitely too much reverb and my guitar’s microphones which I had tuned to be extremely sensitive didn’t behave as expected (because of air moisture?). No pre-recorded stuff, every single sound was done live… I think it was not too bad actually.
Dave Phillips did a great mix of recordings he did while travelling in Thailand and Vietnam. Insects, water, storm… At the end he distributed this text to the audience. Interesting.
Some time after the show, Dave put some insane music like a fantastic “Eye of the tiger” sung by a crazy pakistani guy and some pop tunes from Thailand… That was pretty cool.
Thanks to Phroq who organized the event. By the way he’s gonna play at oblo on July 5th with Michael Gendreau. I’ll be there!
Update: I uploaded more videos on my YouTube account.

C’est vraiment nice le mélange de bruit et de reverb, ça me fait un peu penser à du Murcof!

[…] net having much time for preparing my set and I can’t actually re-use what I did at oblo last saturday. It was too much experimental and wouldn’t work well in such an “open-air” event […]

[…] I played at Oblò in June. The set was recorded by Francisco aka Phroq. I’ve never heard it actually! Three months later, I was in the city of Catania, in Sicily, when I received an email from him asking if I’d accept parts of the recording to be used for a compilation of live shows that happened at Oblò. I did accept of course! So here it is, the first Oblò Sonic live compilation. I’m honored to be surrounded by such great musicians. I look forward to hearing it… And thanks to Francisco who had to listen to hours of recordings and edit tracks one by one. The cover he made is very nice too. concert disc experimental music oblo […]
