This is the recording of a live improvisation performed at Freerotation festival in Wales.

Thanks to Steevio for making it possible and to everyone who was there experiencing it with me.

The following machines were used-
Buchla Music Easel
Electro Harmonix 45000
Strymon blueSky
Sony PCM-D50 recorder

Freerotation 2015

Anthony Child - Live improvisation at Freerotation, Wales 11th July 2015

TRADE live is totally improvised, nothing is prepared beforehand. Every performance starts from scratch. We use modular synthesisers and hardware machines. 
We both really enjoyed the performance in Dublin on 2nd October and we're happy with where this Live Improvisation project is heading.
So we wanted to share the recording of this performance with you.

TRADE live

TRADE Live at District8, Dublin 2nd October 2015

This is the recording of a live improvisation performed at Café OTO, London.
It was accompanied by visuals created by Ali Wade.

The Buchla Music Easel froze up at about 8 minutes into the performance so I had to restart it. Unfortunately that meant that none of the machines were synchronised anymore. 
Ultimately that turned out to be a good thing as it forced me to abandon any ideas and plans that I went into the performance with and only react to the environment I was in at that moment.
 Thanks to Fielding and everyone at Café OTO and especially Shaun Crook, their excellent sound engineer for recording the performance.

Anthony Child - Live improvisation at Café OTO, London 30th November 2015

The concept of Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio's Machine night is to play only new music, not relying on familiar classics to move the crowd.
After Sandrien and Kirk Degiorgio I played my set. None of the music I played was more than a year old.
As before, I really enjoyed playing at Trouw and the crowd were great. Following the set wherever it went.
