The backbone of the track Chernobyl is this melody on a modular patch that was created with on oscillator fluctuating in pitch, but in scale, and the others set so performing scaled pitch-shifting on a manual controller could be part of the performance.

Simple 317 - Chernobil (Stripped)

The backbone of the track Unfolder is this thundering sound created by having two oscillators, split in stereo, taking turns gliding up and back down in pitch, in scale and very fast.  when the LFO controlling the modulation slows down you are in for a treat.

Simple 314 - Unfolder (stripped)

As the live set is quite versatile one can take tracks in any direction.  Here is one example of where Add this Song can go when you get bored with the vocal version.

Interesting demo from the Mexico period.  Testing out the VP-550.  We did not find usage for it on the album though.  If you come up with a vocal hook on top of this please send us.

Gusgus - Demo 211 V01 Part1

Just found this mix of few Gusgus songs, nice blend i think... get freaky with it!

Biggi Veira - Electro Shock Dj set

With the Attention album the feel of the whole band changed.  Some of the old fans liked it some not.  For us it was reinvention.  If you are stagnant you might already be dead.  Viva la Punk....

Out Of Place

Wen doing one remix of Ladyshave in 1999, biggi veira asked Bongo to find his favorite drum and bass track and pitch it down from 45 to 33.3 to get the drums for the mix.  We then had Bongos ex girlfriend do a take on the vocal and added some synth shit.  Here is the result

BIO:
The Icelandic band Gus Gus originally spawned from a shortcut made by Siggi Kjartansson and Stefán Árni (a.k.a. Arni & Kinski) called “Pleasure”. Initially the band was acclaimed as an avant-garde collective of musicians, producers, filmmakers and performers. They mixed together different mediums to create a unique mixture of sound and vision. Their trademark style is combined with funky bass, streamlined synths and the intelligent use of technology and art. Árni & Kinski did the visual part and the musical side was driven by Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Veiran), Stephan Stephenssen (a.k.a President Bongo), Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz). The live band was fronted by singers Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake).

Gus Gus is an electronic soul band formed in 1995. A short break in a making of the shortcut made it possible for the first Gus Gus self-titled album to be born. In 1996 the band signed to 4AD Records that released their widely acclaimed second album “Polydistortion”. "This Is Normal" followed in 1999 and finally "Gus Gus vs T-World" appeared in 2000. During the 4AD years, Gus Gus started touring massively, stirring the music world with their powerful live-show. The touring life was stressful for the nine some and eventually called for changes within the line up. Six original members left and the three remaining producers (Veiran, President Bongo and Herb Legowitz) soon found hope in a new female singer, Earth aka Urður Hákonardóttir. The band has ever since focused on being a musical entity. 

In 2002 Gus Gus re-appeared with their 4th studio album "Attention" which includes their most successful dance floor hit “David”. On the album the band teamed up with the legendary producer Gareth Jones and Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jimi Tenor. The album demonstrates a sharply focused club-band full of creativity and even more energetic than ever. Daníel Ágúst

Gus Gus released there 8th studio album, Mexico, on Kompakt, Germany in June 2014
