A couple more from last night, I’m liking the ‘DFAM Thing’ more and more as I use it.

First i thought there’s a big potato on your table. 
Cool sound!
You are the second to mention some weird stuff on the table which turns out to be normal things 
Maybe I should rethink perspective of recording 
However, thanks for watching and liking!

As a home techno warrior, this set will be my benchmark for probably the rest of my producing days.
Nice! Really liking the choice of sounds!

Let’s see what gear they use 
I can see a Xone 96, Xone DB4, 909 and a row of Eurorack for Speedy J.
Oxi One, TR8S, Novation Peak, Xone96 + FX for RodHad
Shitload of gear for Dasha Rush, I can see a DT, a blofeld, OT, Lyra8(?), Laptpop with Ableton, Doepfer Dark Energy, Big Mixer …
Surgeon seems to be chilling with just a Pulsar23.
Rod has a Roland Boutique, Sequential ProOne, 909 aswell.
I know I missed alot tho

dipping into this, pretty astounding stuff.
i don’t wanna overthink it and ruin the enjoyment of the vibe. and probably will be wrong.
but seems like speedy j is end user for eq, builds and drops.
using the others as channels.
surgeon just on hi hats and kicks with subtle fx
most importantly was wondering how they managed toileting

A short explanation from the youtube comments.
Rødhåd:
“hey I saw people asking if there are specific roles for each of us. so let me explain a bit. we met in the afternoon for the soundcheck and set up all the gear. each of us had their own set up with a mixer. you can see Speedy j has 2 mixers. one is for his set up and another one for the sum of each artist setup coming in. there is one master midi clock for all of us with separate outputs. so we could start and stop our sequencers separated from the others. there are no fixed roles except from speedy j who was besides playing on his setup also taking care of all the signals coming together. everyone had a full setup with drums and various synths. so we just started and let it go. you hear what is playing and when you think you can add something you just do it. so the roles where constantly changing and everybody just did what feels right at the moment. I was using Roland tr8s for drums with a oto boom for some distortion, a Vermona mono lanced (mainly for bass) and a novation peak for polyphonic stuff like chords and pads but also mono synth lines plus a strymon blue sky for reverb and a h9 pedal for delays and other effects. for sequencing I used the Oxi one sequencer.”

Maybe i’m not enough conoisseur, but i didn’t find this live techno so terrific.
It remind me the things that get out of the beef we were used to practice few years ago with other producers from my place (total impro with a guy on final mix table).
Let me be clear : i don’t say it was not good, but i was waiting for something of quality and i find it a bit deceptive.
This personnal statement only engaged me myself and i.
I do like those producers, but this was not their best work, far from that.
Edit : Surgeon, on this video, has the attitude of the guy who doubt about the result. I know he is very demanding, i’m not sure he had been satisfyed. I would be curious to here about his return.

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions. Surgeon always looks like that 
Last time I was there, and it was the most special party I’ve ever visited - and I’ve been to a lot. You’d have to be there - or really get in the flow on Youtube - before I believe you can really experience it. If you’d look at it at any moment out the blue, it will indeed sound not so amazing.
Plus it is 100% live. That’s crazy. And five people that have to not make everything too busy.
Maybe you just have a different taste, that’s fine, but these are really top level pros, not many that can beat what they do except beyond differences in music taste. Last year Colin Benders said afterwards that it was the most special live show he ever did.
, oh, i should have write that myself, i thought about it when writing the post !
Happy to read other point of view. I’m not stuck on what i said, i just communicated the thouhgt i had when i was listening.
I do agree about difference between looking and listening. I will a give it a second chance

That’s a fact. I would have been surprise if it would have been different, knowing they are professionals.
Playing techno and electronic music with other producers, in live, from 4 to 6 players, during three years had been our practice. At the end, after tons of ours to play in theses conditions, we reach a good policy of sound. And we are not professionals. So i would not been so impressed.
But, okay, i will taste it another time

I’ve only watched the 1st hour so far, I felt underwhelmed tbh…they all seemed a bit too cautious and wishy washy (old git speak for meh ). I’ll still watch the remaining 5h plus…maybe the hype raised expectations to much.

Absolutly same feeling
And if you still feel the way you do of course all to power to you
It’s mostly that I know how I also experience how this kind of material doesn’t really sound all to good if you try to show a snippet to someone. I could fast forward around and not really find something epic. But when in the flow it starts working very different - at least to me!
Cheers

I really liked it, thought it was a bit better than the first one (mainly because they found the drive on them 909 kicks about halfway through).
If you’re playing a non-stop, improvised set for seven hours, you have to think differently. There seems to be a conscious decision with a lot of these more long form STOOR performances to really make it about the whole journey, which means eschewing the more banging, attention grabbing sort of stuff and taking a more restrained, almost ambient approach to techno. I think it pays off wonderfully, but I admit it’s probably an acquired taste. It also makes it hard to enjoy without listening to it for a few hours, preferably high as balls.
