It sounds very interesting, latigid on! I hope you can post some examples on MySpace. (thanks for adding me, by the way!)latigid on wrote:That's what we do, Muse. Live drums, Moog Voyager, Rhodes, Space echo, VERY minimal sequencing (the drummer goes out of time anyway) and all into hardware keyboards only, no sampling bar minimal phrase looping on a digital delay, MIDI used almost exclusively for sysex transfer.
I either like to classify (not that everything needs classification, but it helps people understand your sound) the music as experimental dub/funk/drum'n'bass/ fusion or perhaps progessive electronic, which is actually a style according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_electronica , but I'm not sure we mean the same thing. Kind of along the lines of "music for musicians," but it is still listenable to a general audience; the listener takes as much depth as they like. Much of the music is fully improvised, and songs can go for 30 mins.
From your description, it's a shame we don't live in the same city, country, etc. I would love to be a part of a band of that sort.
I currently live in the antithesis of a synthesizer-friendly city. For example, at my last gig, everyone thought it was funny that I was playing a Radio Shack keyboard... not knowing, of course, the relevance of the name "MG-1..."
