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.

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.
