Here’s a short sample of music from DKO that was recorded by Isaac Halvorson at the Slam Factory on July 29, 2011. We are in the process of editing and mixing this recording for an upcoming release. More details on that soon. For now have a listen.

Battle of Everyouth Video Documentation

Posted on July 18, 2011 by John C.S. Keston

On June 4, 2011 the Battle of Everyouth was staged and performed outside of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA). I performed improvisational music non-stop for three hours with Luke Anderson (electronics), Jon Davis (bass, bass clarinet), and Graham O’Brien (drums, percussion). This video documentation is accompanied by bit and pieces from the board mix during the event. My instrumentation included the Rhodes electric piano, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Delay, and Korg Monotron.

Pro-One Sequence with Haphazard Tweaks #2

This piece is a continuation of the sound I posted in Pro-One Sequence with Haphazard Tweaks. At this point I had roughly detuned the oscillators on the Pro-One to fifths, then I started to ramp up the feedback on the Memory Man until it produced the saturated pulse that fades out at the end.

This segment from our performance at The Battle of Everyouth on June 4, 2011 has some nice chaotic drums from Graham and resampling from Luke over the top of some steady Pro-One arpeggiation and bass from Jon Davis.
