Ostracon Performance Segment 9

The beginning of this performance segment was one of the paces where Graham chooses to stop playing drums and let the synth parts sink in for a moment. Since I have a direct signal from my parts I removed the microphones and then faded them in as the drums returned, eliminating the crowd noise until the drums are back in.

Dense Ostracon Performance Excerpt

This dense section from a live Ostracon recording contains several live looped layers of synth along with the drums. Thanks to multitrack live recordings made by Isaac Halvorson I have about fifteen pieces from three shows that I’m currently mixing with the idea of releasing a live album. Some of them won’t make the cut, but I’m hearing potential in many of the tracks so far.

Ostracon and Low-Gain Live: Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Unearthed Music just got a new run of cassettes made of my release, Unauthorized Modifications by Ostracon (me and Graham O’Brien). We will have them at shows and select local record stores including Shuga Records in Northeast Minneapolis. Checkout unearthedmusic.com for more details.

A great place to get your tape is at our show this Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at the Honey Lounge in Minneapolis. Master modular maestro, Low-Gain, shares the bill with us. Doors are at 9:00pm and music starts at 10. The new cassettes will be on sale at the show for $5, which includes a free download code (normally $8 just for the download) and if you are one of the 25 customers who bought the previous cassette that was recorded only on one side, bring it to the show and I’ll swap it with a new one for free!

Here’s a sample from our release show on June 24, 2011:
