I was interested to know if any of you TFP music fans were into livetronica bands such as The Disco Biscuits, Soundtribe Sector 9, Brothers Past, Lotus, etc. I've been into this crazy shit for awhile, any other takers?

I've never heard of any of those, but I'm intrigued.

You got links to any of their websites?

ratbastid · 10-06-2005, 07:17 PM

I don't, but clearly I need to! More info please?

Spektr · 10-07-2005, 08:47 AM

Soundtribe Sector 9

Brothers Past

Brothers Past streaming radio

Lotus

I would recommend checking out the available downloads on the first two sites, and also, these bands put their live performances on www.archive.org . So search for Brothers Past, Soundtribe Sector 9, or Lotus (or whomever else you want, there's tons of material on there) in the Live Music Archive. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Bands like the Disco Biscuits, Soundtribe and Lotus create composed pieces of music for their live shows, but they serve only as a model from which to improvise from. This results in much tighter, theory-based experimentation. Bands like The New Deal or Pnuma Trio (DEFINITELY worth listening to), however, play live shows that are almost entirely improvised.

a bit different flavor than the bands you listed, but I really dig the SPAZ crew out of SanFran/Oakland.. www.spaz.org
they played a 5 hour set at a party up here a couple years ago, and had the whole floor convulsing the whole time!

no longer in opertation, but Siamese, headed up by the prolific drummer KJ Sawka, was pretty amazing. KJ now does it on his own, and I have seen him play for hours on end. www.kjsawka.com

Lake Trout and Particle are two more y'all might want to check out if you're into this stuff.

metalgeek · 05-31-2006, 11:04 PM

Something kinda similar to this would be Live PA Techno/trance/whatever...
Saw a really great Live PA psytrance guy a couple of months back.. (can't find the flyer any more though)
They just layer the beats in front of you using samplers.. it just kicks

triad · 06-15-2006, 07:19 PM

Yeah, Particle is awesome... a friend just got me into them and they blew my mind!

Are you looking for just the light stuff like this, or any freestyle electronic music ?

No, I am not going to just dump a bunch of names of Goa artists out there as if they were ANYTHING related to the OP. I was thinking more of stuff like Chris Bangs, Endemic Void, Telefon Tel Aviv, The Orb and even some popular stuff that you may not have considered like Future Sound of London (and their spin-off, Amorphous Androgynous), who pretty much originated the freestyle electronic movement (not mixing) and even made several recordings under the "ISDN" name for live freestyle world-casts they used to do with the budding of the internet audio phenomena.
