sorry for the off topic but if you can check Herbert out live, it's quite an interesting performance. he played in Sydney, Australia, last year.at the mad racket party > > he had a DAT tape backing of this almost industrial-tech-house/techno style minimal beats and sounds, in that funky herbert way, and then over the top he used a lot of real time sampling. > > using a small mackie mixer, an effects box, and a few sample/delay guitar pedals, and a microphone he was creating layers of loops of real time created samples, and somehow keeping it all in sync! > > he was also manually triggering some of these noises from a small keyboard, changing the pitch of > these real time samples right up and down. He was holding things up to the microphone, creating samples/sounds using all sorts of stuff, water bottles, > kettles with boiling water, potato chip packets, crumpled paper, pots and pans, plastic tubes, bits of metal... hitting them, bashing them, rubbing > them, crushing them. > > he was also sampling himself munching on chips, > gargling water, spitting it out, and making all sorts of sounds into the microphone, it was very entertaining to watch too! > > it wasn't long into his set and the stage was a mess, it looked like he'd raided a kitchen and put everything on the stage around his music gear... at one point having all this electrical equipment and water, kettles etc all didn't get along... > shorted stuff out, but he was back in action in no time... it was awesome! > > quite a good sound, and the crowd (packed audience) were really up for it. > > highly recommended. thanxs to damc for the review Zootie
