Exploring the Art of Live Performance with Surco (Patreon)
Content
As a techno improvisation artist, Surco is no stranger to the world of live performance. In this 1.5 hour long video, Surco and I delve into the ins and outs of performing live, sharing our favorite gear, techniques, and even the hazardous joys that come with it.
One of the main topics we discuss is the Octatrack performance template. As a powerful and versatile instrument, the Octatrack has become a staple in many live performances. We discuss how it can be used to create dynamic and engaging live sets, and why it is such a popular choice among performers.
We also talk about the gear that lends itself to live performance, and why modular synthesizers, despite being expensive and difficult to use, are still a favorite among many performers. We even share our differing opinions on which piece of Elektron gear we would recommend buying first, providing a unique perspective on the subject.
Another topic we delve into is sample workflow versus synthesis workflow. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach, and how they can be used to create unique and engaging live performances.
So, buckle in and enjoy the broadcast!
