Death's Eve

After months of preparation, I'm finally playing at Death Guild this Monday night.

My set starts at midnight, and goes until the DNA Lounge closes (2:30am).

I just finished listening to the recording of my most recent practice session. It turned out really well. If you're in the bay area, attendance is encouraged. I think you just might enjoy what's in store.

Beat Research Video Posted

Major Caveat: This video assumes it will be displayed in a dark environment, on an ultra-bright projector, so it can assault your fully dilated pupils. Viewing it on your computer monitor, in a lit room, at 30 frames per second, will be pretty much like listening to dubstep on laptop speakers. The best way to experience this, as intended, is to see it live.

Those limitations not withstanding, the preferred method to view this is to right-click + save the highest quality video of my full set.

You may also stream it on Vimeo, in which case fullscreen is highly recommended.



Part 1: Glitch-pop + Dubstep





Part 2: Deathstep





Part 3: idm





Part 4: Breakcore + Finale + Outro





Lastly, I've posted the audio for streaming, via Soundcloud:

What I Am, Without

I'm no good at this, but I have to mention the sense of loss I feel, with Telefon Tel Aviv's Charles Cooper passing away this week.

He was an amazing musician. I can't listen to "What It Is Without The Hand That Wields It" without getting shivers. Listen for yourself:



It's the only track I've ever felt the need to comment on, on last.fm:

http://www.last.fm/music/Telefon+Tel+Aviv/_/What+It+Is+Without+the+Hand+That+Wields+It

Seeing him play it live at Yuri's night is something I'll never ever forget. Charles' music will outlive us all.

Sympathy to his friends and family.


That wasn't the only loss of this type I learned of this week, but that sadness isn't a subject for this blog.
