Sickness is a LIVE TransHumanizer VR 360° performance was recorded in a single take, LIVE with fully improvised rhythm guitar, lead guitar, vocals & lyrics. 😬

The audio recording for “Sickness” is raw, unedited. This song was completely unplanned & unrehearsed. It's more laid back than the first LIVE 001 "Crystal" performance, almost fully instrumental, but highlights a lot of the subtle dynamics achievable with my system. Few sloppy bits, especially with the clean sections.... I'll tighten things up next time hehe

PERFORMANCE NOTES:
- Zero sequencing. All drums, bass, synths etc. are generated in real-time around the notes I physically play on my guitar at the time.
- Drum nuances, sound styles etc. were all manipulated & controlled in real-time using my custom live performance TransHumanizer software, hardware & foot pedal setup (LOOK 👇 down to watch my fancy footwork).
- Improvised guitar solos were performed live over foot pedal looped rhythm sections played earlier in the song (LOOK 👇 to see me control my floor loop expression pedal)
- VR 360° Video was created post production from the raw live performance footage spliced with multiple layers of FX.
- The other footage within the video (ie. GORE TV 👈 & DRUM TV 👉  are perfectly synced with the LIVE performance if you watch closely). There’s also a light show synced with the performance (red = snare, white = kick and green = crash) flicking with the music. Finally, the static performance 👆 channel is the same 360° footage but in 2D along with a 2nd camera. Not sure why it’s there, but thought why not. 
- I’ve also got a 2D version of the 3D performance called “Sickness LIVE 2D”

FYI, I’ve been perfecting my LIVE TransHumanizer system for over 7 years now. It’s a pretty complicated setup of hardware, software & a vast array of foot pedals I’m physically stomping on to adjust tone, rhythmic stylings, drum nuances (the most challenging aspect to sound natural!), sound FX & sample triggering etc all whilst recording live.

Yeah, it’s not note perfect for those guitar geeks closely watching, as I have about 50ms of latency to deal with, a lot of foot pedal shit to manage whilst trying to improvise guitar, lyrics  & solos 🤣. It’s a technical nightmare to be honest 😬 

Now that I have everything setup perfectly, expect MORE Live performances very soon. I’m finishing off the HAXAN album songs, but think this LIVE improv stuff is really where TH is at. I love to improvise, as who knows what will happen. Anyhow, hope you dig it. I was working on a live improv stage show, then COVID hit, but you never know.. it might happen one day. 🤔

Ok, enjoy!
