Recorded May 28th 2015. Modular live performance at Mutek. 


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.

Ampenvire is an electronic producer creating #splyce music.  as an extension of plunderphonics, #splyce relies heavily on vocal sampling and at times, strong glitch textures  #splyce is a bridge between experimental and plunderphonics, adding elements of glitch & sound design periodically throughout the work.  #splyce uses mainly 1 source of vocal samples to chop and deconstruct into melodies and harmonies, and the audio predominantly is found through streaming platforms such as tiktok live.
