JdB (Live)  : Los Angeles River Dub Techno

Anemone 009 features an exquisite live set performed in the Mojave Desert by electronic hardware artist, Anemone co-organizer, and head of Corduroy Garden rave crew and sound system, Josiah Burnham aka JdB.

There’s something captivating about the connection between the desert and the sea. Resilient life surviving in extreme environments: The ocotillo cactus resembles the tentacles of an anemone :-) Mystery, expansiveness, and the feeling of infinity on the horizon line. How fascinating that Earth’s driest places evoke the essence of the ocean. Here, JdB explores this connection, performing a deeply aquatic sound under the desert stars ✨

A note from Josiah:

Recorded October 13th, 12:00am-2:00am at Bear’s. Johnson Valley is a very special place to me, I’m grateful for the opportunity to play in this beautiful Desert setting, knowing full well how much energy, time and effort has gone into setting up and running a state of the art 4 point sound system for 3 Days straight. Thank you to Bear, Anthony, Mandolin, Jonathon, Noa, and Brian especially for ensuring a high quality recording came back with me. The energy of this gathering is experimental and free spirited, I try to come to this space relatively empty, patient, and mindful of each element I’m bringing into the mix. I treat this quiet space as my own personal studio, and attempt to tune the frequencies. 

At it’s heart, this is DAWless dub techno, I’m using the Digitakt as my Brain drum, synth and sequencer, Digitone for melodies bass and chords, TR-8 for accompanied drums, SH01A for dub chords and Filter Freq Resonance, all running into a 1010 Bluebox Mixer. I run two effects chains, Eventide Space Reverb (Dark Matter), and Overdrive > Flanger > Delay > Reverb Chain. 

Traversed 7 Patterns… Pattern 4 (40:00) “Summed Parts” out on NP003 Nov 17th, Catch my live set that Sunday for a release event with New Palm at Porter Street Studio.
