This video is the 'official' video shot from the back
of the room by the organisers, and the audio is simply
the mix that was sent to the
PA.

Köln Loopfest - video and photos
11/04/11 16:43 Filed in: gigs
Video shot from my camcorder, which was hanging from
the ceiling, hence the slightly odd angle. Audio from
my own recording, made on the laptop as we were
playing.
My photos of the weekend. There are plenty more on Facebook from the various performers.

Unexpected drum recording
09/11/10 20:56 Filed in: recording
sessions
A very long time since the last blog entry - you would
be forgiven for thinking that all was quiet here in the
Darkroom. No so - things have been chugging along
behind the scenes, though slower than usual, mostly due
to me devoting a huge amount of my time to recent
developments at Expert Sleepers.
Since I last posted, work on the new album has continued, and we also undertook a rather unusual project which has resulted in a single release and couple of videos - more on that later.
Here I wanted to post some photos of a recent recording session for the new album. Until a few weeks ago it was a thoroughly electronic affair, but after putting together the almost-final sequence of the album we decided that two tracks (the first and the last, oddly) needed some ‘real drums’. So we roped in long-time Improvizone collaborator (and Some Of These Numbers Mean Something contributor) Andrew Booker for a recording session at London’s Bally Studios.
The Flickr set is here.
Andy was playing his beautifully refurbished 60’s Ludwig kit.
Microphones used: Rode NT-2-A, Rode NT-1, Yoga BM-38 PZM, AKG C1000, Audio Technica AT4033a
Recorded through my trusty Metric Halo Mobile I/O 2882.

Lots of Improvizone videos
09/11/10 20:20 Filed in: gigs
Here are the videos from four Improvizone gigs in
April-June this year. These really chronicle the
introduction of the modular synth into the IZ lineup,
which often takes things in quite a different direction
to previous gigs.
