[audio] Xanopticon live on the internet, 25 April 2010

Xanopticon live webcast. I don't remember if there was any special occasion for this performance, or if any other artists played. But this was the only one I recorded. The webcast was fed in mono, which is a bummer. But I put a reverb on it that has a frequency dependent spread to it, so that gives a little bit of a stereo air to it. All the crowd sounds I grabbed from other recordings. They're not fake; they're just not original to this performance.

[audio] Ruby My Dear live on the internet, 1 June 2021

Ruby My Dear live on rinse.fr, 1 June 2021.

Everything's on the internet these days. I am confident that concerts will happen again someday. Maybe not this year. Hopefully next year. Fingers crossed. Until then, I'll just keep scouring the internet for live performances to fix up and post.

This one went pretty much under the radar when it happened, so I post it here.

I bumped up the super extended sub-bass low end a touch. Fire up the subwoofers and see how you like it.

[audio] Not Breathing with cEvin Key live in Los Angeles, 9 February 2011

Not Breathing with special guest cEvin Key live at the El Rey, Los Angeles, 9 February 2011.

This was when NB opened for Meat Beat Manifesto. Special guest cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy sat in with NB. I couldn't tell you what parts he played or what synths he played, but he was out on stage, jammin' along for the entire performance.

I originally gave this recording to Dave, the main guy in NB, shortly after the concert, and he put it up on Bandcamp for a long time. But I see now that he must have taken it down at some point. But I contacted him and he gave me the OK to put it here on my concert recordings blog, so enjoy.

Merzbow live at FLUC, Vienna, 18 May 2010.

I posted this one a long time ago, but recently reworked/remixed it. So I deleted the old version and now we have this better version. This is the tour he did with superstar Hungarian drummer Balázs Pándi.

[audio] Raxyor live in Prague, 19 June 2010

Raxyor live at Parukarka Bunkr, Prague, 19 June 2010.

I originally posted this Raxyor recording many years ago. But I was recently listening to it at home or maybe in my car, and heard that the files had been corrupted. I thought it was good opportunity to just start from the beginning and do a full re-work, remix and remaster of the recording.

I'm so much better at it now and have so many more tools at my disposal, that anything I re-do from the old days will sound a whole lot better than my first attempt.

[audio] Aphex Twin live in Roskilde, 29 June 1997

So this Aphex Twin recording has been floating around the internet for decades. Live performance (back in the good ol' days when Richard used to actually play live, not just dj) from Roskilde Festival in Denmark in 1997, as broadcast on Swedish National Radio.

I saw a recent post on Dark Circle Room (here, where you can download the original tracks that I used for my remaster- darkcircleroom4.blogspot.com/2...e-festival.html) where it is described as the complete performance as opposed to some other versions that have been around for years.

So I downloaded it. The audio from that original broadcast is really good- stereo board feed combined with stereo audience mics for applause, the same way I do all my recordings. And while it does sound very good, once I popped it into my DAW, I saw and heard that it really needed some help. It had a very weak low end and sounded just kinda lifeless, like it had no spark in it at all.

So then I fixed it- pumped some low end back into it, brought some excitement back to the overall sound, did some trickery with the phase and the panning, beefed up the audience sounds a bit.

[video] Tool 2019-2020 Fear Inoculum Tour multi-cam maxi-cut

I recently finished a relatively major project, and thought I'd let you know about it. It was a hell of a lot of work and took me a hell of a lot of time to do it. Wouldn't have been possible except I have some time these days, now that I'm done with posting concert recordings for the time being, plus this whole work-from-home coronavirus quarantine has me at home a lot with not much to do except find random audio and video projects.

This one is for the Tool fans.

What I did was take a single-camera, full length concert from their recent tour, shot in Denver, which some random person posted to YouTube, and then I found a bunch more videos of the individual songs and used all that footage as b-roll. So it ended up being a multi-cam bootleg of a full Tool show. Plus, I added a couple songs from their latest album, Fear Inoculum, that they didn't play in Denver. So, it ended up being a multi-cam maxi-cut.

I posted it to YouTube, but, even though my video is just a compilation of other videos that are still up on YT, YouTube quickly pulled mine. So unfortunately, it's not viewable anywhere. But, I sent the video over to the super cool people at Dark Circle Room, who posted it on the blog for download.

I’ve posted a bunch of screenshots below. Complete details, tracklist, and of course the download are at the link.

Tool has never put out an official live concert video. Until they do, this is about as close as we’ll get.

And check out everything else DCR has posted. They have hundreds of bootleg audio and video recordings of underground-y rock bands from over the decades (they're HUGE on Sisters of Mercy), VHS rips, contemporary video rips of concerts, and all sorts of associated random stuff.

update May 2020

Ok, that pretty much does it. I've ransacked every hard drive that I had hiding in the closet, and have posted all the concert audio that's worth posting. I've posted more than 50 shows over the past few months that I've recorded over the past 10 or 15 years. All sorts of different styles, and some really amazing performances, so scroll through them and crank it up. And I now have almost 175 recordings posted altogether, so go check out some of the older ones, too. They're no less awesome than any others.

Although, when posting some of those shows to my blogs, I would post the original flyer for the show if I had one available, and sometimes I'd see all these other names on the flyer and say to myself, 'hey, didn't I record all those other people that night? Where the hell is that audio? I wonder if it's worth mixing/mastering and posting.' So maybe I'll sweep through those hard drives again and try to track down any of those recordings. Maybe I can dig up some more music to post.

I might make the effort. Because it's not like I'm recording too many new shows any more. I mean, Salt Lake City doesn't have anything of an electronic music scene in the first place. But now with this coronavirus pandemic grinding everything to a complete standstill, including the entire concert industry, who knows when bands will start touring again, big or small.

And even though I don't consider this any kind of 'Brian Humorless, signing off' type message, I would like to say the biggest thank you in the world to all of the artists over the years who allowed me to record their shows. Such amazing people and such amazing music. I have unending gratitude for every one of you. As well as all the club owners, the soundguys, the promoters, the record label guys, and anybody else who was cool enough to say 'ya man, go ahead, plug in and record and do your thing.'

This one gets off to a little bit of a rough start, with some glitchy clicky noises in the first several minutes. But once the music really gets started, they go away or are otherwise unnoticeable.

[audio] Richard Devine live in Los Angeles, 25 February 2005

Richard Devine live at iComplex offices, 25 February 2005.

Back in the 90s in LA, there were a few dj/artist collectives that would organize the underground-y electronic music shows- Darkmatter Soundsystem (the only one that now, in 2020, still organizes shows) handled most of all the breakcore shows, Mashup Soundsystem also did breakcore shows, ELM did idm shows, usually on the harder/darker side, but sometimes not, and would regularly bring some combination of Otto v Schirach / Phoenecia / Richard Devine to town (Pet Shop show in Silver Lake is legendary!), and also Infinite Complexity aka iComplex did probably the widest variety of musics, idm and industrial and techno and dubstep and drum and bass and other random stuff.

And this is not to mention LA's long-running industrial club Das Bunker, still going strong, but quite frankly is a whole lot less underground than those others I mentioned. Although Franck and company still will have some good live acts play their hallowed halls every now and then.

This Richard Devine show was actually not a proper concert; it was a private party for about 15 or 20 people. I don't remember why Richard was in town, or if he played some other show that weekend. Honestly, I don't even know how I was invited to this one, except that iComplex head honcho Whoman is a super nice guy who thought I should be there I guess.
