RICHARD DEVINE presents DISTURBANCES (US) 
NOCTURNE 2 :: GLEAMINGS AND BEAMINGS
Thursday, May 28 - Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

Modular synth master Richard Devine’s music moves like a slightly unhinged force, in rapid clicks and metallic thrums or funk addled scattering beats. An Atlanta-based producer with full length releases on Warp, Schematic, Sublight and Detroit Underground in the past 15 years, as well as an accomplished sound designer and maker of synthesizer kits (among soundtracks and samples, he’s built an expansion pack for Moog Music’s Animoog app), Devine made huge professional inroads in the digital realm, yet recently felt called to the modular and analog in his own music. Constantly reconfiguring his own hardware systems, Devine creates music by processing layer after layer of sounds derived from hip hop, pop, field recordings and electronic tracks; and in 2013 released his own official sample library, The Electronic Music Manuscript, through Sony Creative Software. Performing live, he’s equipped with an enviable arsenal of sounds and the ability to manipulate them to his experimental liking, constructing a sonic experience that’s never the same twice. MUTEK 2015 marked Devine’s first live modular set in Canada and the premiere of his “Disturbances” live patch, custom built for organic on-the-fly songwriting, from abstract ambient compositions to rhythmic bombardments.

Richard Devine - Disturbances- Live Modular Set - Mutek 2015

Throw all your Drum & Bass into my face
And then some Crossbreed at my feet
I love my Breakcore that's for sure
You can bring Industrial Hardcore to my door
Fast Terror gives me no error.
There's also Dubstep and Darkstep on my map
Just like Techstep, Deathstep and even Rap
Good old Jungle still makes me wanna tumble

Beside my love for Deep Dark Bass
I'm also fond of music out of Space
Experimental,Industrial, Ambient, Drone, Psychedelic and Noise
As for vocals, i love a raw low deep Voice
Also am i fond of a lot of yells and scream
It is all about Music what i live and dream

Whatever expression you want it to give
Only thing matters is dark sounds i breath and live
The Love for Music is what i like to share
Supporting Musician is something to take care
Dark Soundscapes or Noise with Bombastic Bass
You're welcome to bring it to my space

Love, Peace & Music ❤ ☮ ♬
