[audio] Medicine live in San Diego, 13 September 2013

Mirrored here-

Kim Gordon (ex-Sonic Youth) organized a big ol' indie music festival in San Diego for a weekend in the fall of 2013, with all sorts of bands playing in clubs all over town. I recorded indie rock shoegaze legends Medicine at The Void on 13 September.

This show featured lots of technical difficulties. I don't remember what exactly the problems were, but I edited out a couple gaps of no music of two or three or four minutes in the middle of this set. Problems with drums or mics or vocals? I don't remember. And even now, you'll hear guitarist Brad Laner do a four and a half minute improvisational noise thing at about the 26 minute park, because I think the bassist broke a string and had to replace it.

So, not the smoothest show, but at well over an hour, they do manage to play a bunch of tunes.

For me, doing the mixing and mastering of rock bands is much different than electronic music artists. With electronic music, there's no acoustic sound coming off the stage, so it's very easy for me to control, and I usually end up using about 85 or 90% board feed versus 15 or 10% room sound in the final mix.

With rock music, the board feed always sounds super awkward because there's so much acoustic sound coming off stage (drums, guitar amps, bass amps), that the board feed doesn't usually have much more to it than vocals. So, I end up using a whole lot more of the room mics in the final mix with rock bands. It's usually more like 50/50 board feed vs room mics.

Here’s a bunch of videos I made of this performance-

Elevate Festival in Graz is one of the premiere music and social awareness festivals in all of Europe. 

Graz is a smallish town in the southeast of Austria, and Graz is generally known for two things- it's a college town, and that Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up in a suburb of Graz. Now that Elevate Festival has been a yearly occurrence since the mid 2000s, Graz is now known for three things. Well, also that complete eyesore of an art gallery building, so four things.

Elevate is a week-long festival, with all sorts of political and social panel discussions, demonstrations of the latest high-tech innovations, and a bunch of music.

The four music stages of Elevate sit at the top of a mountain in the center of town. Outdoors, there's a main stage and a secondary stage, and two more stages sit inside the mountain. Seriously, they are caves, and the mainstage is gigantic with a massive sound system, and the second stage is where all the crazy music happens.

The first night in the small cave features experimental and avant-garde musics of all styles and instrumentations. The second night features hard, aggressive electronic music. Industrial / breakcore legend Eiterherd has been involved with the festival since the beginning, and has organized all the bands for this venue.

So if you find yourself in that part of the world in October, look it up. Because Graz is such a small town and Elevate is such a high profile event, finding a hotel room can be a challenge. But if you can work it out, you won't regret going.

He'll be opening for Tool on their upcoming US tour through January. Bunch of dates on the west coast and through the midsection and ending up in New Orleans. Catch him if you can, in the unlikely event that the show in your town didn't sell out in like one second and you actually have a chance to get tickets.

This recording is from six months prior to that tour, in Salt Lake City.

Noisex live at Das Bunker, Los Angeles, 24 September 2010.

I think Raoul Noisex was having some problems with his low end synth in this performance. It seems to cut in and out at random spots in multiple songs. Still sounds pretty good.

And that's Das Bunker founder Franck H-Bomb at the end ranting and raving about something. Not quite sure what. I think he's just professing his love for Noisex. Loudly. Right on, Franck, we're all right there with you. We all love Noisex.

If you hadn’t noticed…

I’m in the process of going through my archive drives and emptying them out onto my live recordings blogs. Recordings that I just never got around to posting in the first place, or recordings that have some sort of technical difficulties or some sort of compromise that dissuaded me from posting it. For some reason I'm finding that many of these recordings don't have the first song, or first half of the first song, or the first two songs. I have no idea how that happens, but I've decided that this won't stop me from posting it now. Or maybe the board feed is in mono, not stereo, which totally bums me out, but I just don't care any more, because they still sound pretty damn good, so those I'll post as well.

Mostly industrial, but a good mix of breakcore and idm and ambient / noise / experimental.

The good news is that I already have about 40 recordings to post, and my plan is to post two per week, so that gets us well into spring 2020.

I post all the audio to HearThis and Mixcloud. In the past, Mixcloud has occasionally prohibited listeners in the US to play my uploads, citing some US copyright law. HearThis has never killed any of my uploads for anybody worldwide, so that might be the more reliable place to listen to them.

https://hearthis.at/humorlessproductions/

https://www.mixcloud.com/humorlessproductions/

And I post everything to my blogs, and everything is mirrored exactly on each of them, so pick your poison.-

I’ll occasionally post updates to my Humorless Productions FB, but not always, so those links above are better places to follow me if you want immediate updates for when I post new audio.

https://www.facebook.com/Humorless-Productions-190626074303436/?ref=settings

And, I'll occasionally post the original jpg flyers or pictures or artwork to the blog posts, and there's no way to do that on the two sites where I post the actual audio. So if you care about that sorta stuff, make sure to check the blogs as well as the audio sites.

Thanks, Brian.

[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.

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.
