This is the recording of the ambient/experimental electronics liveset I did during the Focus Luistersessies x Pelagic Ambient on the 3d of September in the KODA in Schiedam. 

Expect dreamy tinkling synths, ambient drones, layered sparsely with some of my own improvised vocals. The set was specifically prepared for this event. I loved doing this set because it gave me the opportunity to also play a lot more slower and more dreamy stuff, compared to the usual, a lot more banging and energetic livesets I do. 

For the gear nerds out there, this liveset was half-improvised, half prepared in terms of patterns and notes. I used the following gear: 

- Octatrack (for some droney stems, sparse percussion and melodic layers, and as the performance mixer) 
- Digitone (for the pads, melodic elements and also to synthesize some of the percussion elements. 

Besides this i also used some modular FX (mimeophon and data bender, mainly to glitch out the vocals) and a Grandmother with a Snazzy Wow & Flutter pedal to layer an additional melodic element at times. 

All this goes into the OTO Boum for some warmth and as a little bit of mastering.
