[audio] Hecate and Nihil Fist live in Berlin, 27 Nov 2009


For my friends in Berlin. Tenth anniversary of this show, first time posting this.

Hecate and Nihil Fist, live at Cosmic Devastation at Raum 18, Berlin, 27 November 2009.

Even by Hecate's standards, this one was a rather experimental show for her I think.

It was Hecate on electronics and vocals (sounding a whole lot like Nivek Ogre on the Ain't It Dead Yet? recording), and also somebody playing electric contrabass through some effects like distortion, delay, etc..., and there might have been a third person on stage with her. I forget. It was a long time ago.

So this one leans more toward ambient noise doom drone, but it does get a bit rhythm-y in the second half. More industrial than breakcore.

Nihil Fist opened the show and just about blew the doors off the place. Hell ya.

Also playing this night was Christoph da Babalon. I did get a recording of his set as well, but his laptop was having that RAM overrun audio hiccup thing happening every 30 or 40 seconds during his entire performance. So unfortunately, that one I won't be able to post.

[audio] Genesis P-Orridge live in Los Angeles, 17 July 2014


Genesis P-Orridge live at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 17 July 2014.

Genesis came to LA to raise money for a documentary film he was trying to make in Africa. His presentation featured a brief, live musical performance.

Musicians for the first two songs of this recording are Cyrus Rex on electronics, Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb on vocals, and Los Angeles underground music luminary Baseck on electronics.

Douglas and Cyrus Rex would go on to form Black Line shortly after this performance. I don't know if these first two songs are Black Line songs, or perhaps songs that Cyrus composed as DJMREX, which was his moniker at this time.

Genesis then grabs the mic at about 10 minutes in, and does spoken word for the remaining 10 minutes, while everybody else lays down some lovely noisy synth parts, which I think were largely improvisational.

[audio] cEvin Key dj/live in Los Angeles, 29 March 2014


cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy dj set with Dre Robinson on drum pads and other synth noise makers,  live at CELEBRATE EVERYTHING at Complex, Los Angeles, 29 March 2014.

I’m pretty sure this was just a dj set with no actual live music played. cEvin was on a laptop and Dre had a bunch of stuff working, so I can’t be 100% sure.
