"Modular Live Collections" by SONICrider with different modular/DIY set ups at different places in the modular space "liberating electronic music".

Although all performances are recorded this collection is worth sharing (from my point of view :-)

Check each recording for additional information.

Modular Live Collection

"In Focus Live" recorded at Modulab Eindhoven event "In Focus" using the Soma Ornament 8 live for the first time.

And it was the first time after 18 month with real audience \0/

Patch info:
The Ornament 8 is the heart of this set up controlling the Lyra and modular gear. The 8 Ornament cells trigger gates, create a clock which is used as input for a clock multiplier. Playing the Ornament switches create all kind of loops.

The Ornament itself is patches in a way that "pass" output is used on regular basis which make the loops develop in an experimental manner.

Beside the SOMA Ornament 8: Lyra 8, Ether, several ErrorInstrument modules, ThreeTom Modular MS-22 filter, DIY "string" (via Koma field kit + the radio) & Korg Kaossilator.

The recording is done live with no editing afterwards - just some slightly EQ'ing before exporting the audio.

The Ornament 8 opens new sequential raids :-)

SONICrider - antiCLIMAX (live at Dutch Modular Fest 2018)

At Friday September 28 2018 SONICrider was the opening act at the main stage Dutch Modular Fest 2018 The Hague.

The approach for this improvisation/performance was a soundscape working towards a climax but never touch one, a so called antiCLIMAX; during this fest a lot of climaxes passed the several stages and antiCLIMAX was "the starting point".

Wonna thank the Dutch Modular Fest organisers for having SONICrider: again this fest was a place to be meeting so many like (sound) minded peeps. Had a great night at the boat and a perfect breakfast prepared by the "ZeeKadettenKorps".

Till next year!!

THE NDLBR CODE (Live at Noodlebar Rotterdam)

SINKED - live at GLOW Eindhoven 2K19....

..... recorded the last hour and 37 minutes of a 4,5 hour performance during the GLOW 2019 festival in Eindhoven, where sound & light where SINKED in a unique way.

"Just pushed the record button recording the main output: this registration is uncut & pure to take you as a listener into the journey of sounds, beats & dynamic", SONICrider

Event: SINK at GLOW 2019
Venue: Warehouse of Innovation
Initiated by: Lumus Instruments & Albert van Abbe
Date: November 12 2019 (the whole event from November 9 - November 16)

Approach: visitors of the GLOW festival walk a pre-defined route along all kinds of light-art objects - one "object" was at the "Warehouse of Innovation" (an abandoned warehouse) where each night one sound performer got linked - by sound - to the light-art construction by Lumus Instruments.

"Since visitors pass by I had the idea to play with dynamic, beats, experimental sound & DIY controller (like a "wheel" and a "Pendulum") to give them a unique experience how sound and light became "SINKED". Normally a SONICrider performance tells a story glueing tracks into one ride, this performance was a sort of continuous cycle of sonic pieces", SONICrider

All sounds played live with modular gear, DIY controllers and instruments like.

"I wonna hanks Albert van Abbe inviting SONICrider and LUMUS Instruments for a superb-inspiring collaboration", Jurgen

TIS (The Isolation Sessions)

!! May 31 at 20:28 the file is replaced due to some drop outs at the start !!

April 2 2020 – as the world is in a sort of locked down status – The Effenaar invited Modulab Eindhoven to do a live session for the streaming event “The Isolation Sessions“

Since FRAKnoise had to cancel it suddenly became a solo performance by SONICrider – had to reset my mind a bit – and played tunes with the Modulab Eindhoven approach as starting point “Liberating Electronic Music”.

“It was an unique experience working with a fine crew/team maintaining safe distance! it was cool to leave the studio, hit the road and perform.”

The live video is out there on Facebook: this is the complete stream with a 8 minutes radio noise as intro --> https://www.facebook.com/effenaarfanpage/videos/747760435756438/

Or check the video that start when the first tunes were mixed with the radio noise --> https://youtu.be/kCrmA2Ld0SU

MOVEMENT "Live at Polybase Station"

Performed by SONICrider

Wonna experience the sound and vision --> https://www.facebook.com/PolyBase/videos/1609532969196058/

This release is the slightly mastered version of the live recording.

MOVEMENT is a modular composition based on we are MENT to MOVE never wait a MOMENT \0/

On July 10 2020 MOVEMENT was played live in the Polybase Studio The Hague Netherlands and mixed with live video art by Visual Scumbagz (Roger Vermolen) witnessed by a selected group of modular friends/artists/makers.

We succeeded to capture a moment in time in a unique way: where the visuals make it a surrealistic, on the other hand realistic view of our world today.

MOVEment is a composition started as a studio project using tape manipulation: this version is inspired on those recordings.
