Molten Membrane launch liveset by Ed Devane
This is my new liveset, or at least one version of it. As always rough in places, both stylistically and in terms of musicianship. Ahem.
The point of making a liveset is to play it really loud on a big sound system...so gimme gigs!
Tracklist:
1. Arcane (Molten Membrane, Mantrap)
2. Paths (possibly forthcoming on Second Square to None / SSTN)
3. Squib (possibly forthcoming on Second Square to None / SSTN)
4. Brain Your Melt (version) (Molten Membrane)
5. Chalktown Bounce Collision (currently homeless)
6. Get My Way (version) (in another form on Molten Membrane)
7. Playtime (forthcoming on !kaboogie)
8. Frozen Backpackers (Trapdoor Material 2, Mantrap)
9. Doomtime (Molten Membrane)
10. Future (forthcoming on Takeover)
11. 2C-me (forthcoming on Takeover)
12. Stand Clear (currently homeless)
13. Brain Your Melt (another version)(Molten Membrane)
Molten Membrane
Finally! My debut album, Molten Membrane, will be available in Dublin from Spindizzy this week. It should be available in other countries from the end of April.
Massive thanks to:
Sunil Sharpe / Mantrap for firstly asking me to make an album, and then releasing it, and for organising the launch gig which took place in Kennedy's on Saturday night.
Niamh de Barra / Scurvy Lass for the typically humourous and catchy vocals
Kev Largey, for the artwork - perfect!
Chris Flynn, for the graphic design / texturing / typography
...and everyone who came to the gig, hope ye like the album!
A recording of my new liveset will be up here soon enough, and yes, I am available to play gigs, so if you're in a position to book me to play, get in touch!
Wrong Music Show set 90210
Wrong Music Radio set 9-02-10 by Ed Devane
Here's some noise soup I brewed up over the past few weeks, arranged in the last few days, and played on Sound Art Radio for The Wrong Music Show hosted by Ebola, Judith Priest and Sorry.
The file they tried playing was corrupt somehow so it was a bit wobbly to begin with on the broadcast, but this is the original recording. The piece has a lot going on in it, so listening on headphones or at high volumes would be advised for best results. Sounds combine, collide, ebb, flow, stutter and distort in a constantly shifting soundscape that will make your mind wander, or else really annoy you!
Thanks to the Wrong radio crew for firstly asking me to do a set for them and secondly playing it on the radio, despite the technical difficulties...

New bits in preparation for k-club tomorrow 21-01-10
Live Jams with beats by Ed Devane
Some live jams from the last day or two to give anyone who's going to the k-Club tomorrow evening an idea of what's in store...rough and ready, live sampling, repetitive rhythms...on a techno tip!
I've been doing a lot of work on making a live set up in Ableton with controllers the last few weeks, so these live jams will improve the more I practice...

New tune, rough live version
Squib (live damp version) by Ed Devane
I just recorded this now and offer it to the mists of the internet as an example of what my new liveset is going to sound like...

New sound design
Catch by Ed Devane
Caught by Ed Devane
Reat beepeat by Ed Devane
I'm working on a new liveset, making good use of the power my new laptop gives me. I'm using feedback processes and my zither exclusively to make new sounds, and here are some examples. Ableton has slowly but surely overtaken Logic as my main sound design / composition tool, partly out of necessity (all my recent tunes have grown out of live sets made in Live) and partly because of the ease of the whole process.
I'm not saying these are pieces of music as they were made through somewhat random techniques...but I think they sound nice and who knows, maybe you will too. "Catch" and "Caught" are versions of the same sounds, and Reet BeepEat is some layered loops of distortion feedback (which have since become My Best Rave Sound Ever).
For anyone who might be frustrated by all this noise and want to hear some beats, don't worry...I'm working on new tracks and will be playing gigs again from January onwards, so I'll have a new proper liveset up here soon enough!
