Mark Mahoney Live Internet Broadcast Feb. 23

Mohoyoho

Calendar Event: February 23, 2008

I'll be doing my first live solo performance on StillStream's "Blue Water Drift Dive" show hosted by Darrell Burgan. It will be at 11 pm eastern on Feb. 23.

They have a very nice media player on site as well as a chat room. I'll be on the chat room after my 1 hour performance. I've been working on a very interesting set, and like my performances with Michael Peck, my set will take you on a varied sonic journey.

I hope some of you will tune in.

Hope it goes well

I'll be busy with a gig myself that evening so might not get to hear it live as I'll probably be too tired, hopefully there will be a chance to listen later

Is there anything I should read or listen to before the show, to get more out of it? Context is the word I'm looking for...

Nothing that I can think of. I plan to have some deep space stuff as well as some lively melodic/rhythmic pieces. This would be a good set to listen with the lights low. There should be some good stereo-ness to it, and the music will be psychedelic as well. I'll be using a combination of analogue and digital synths as well as some Reaktor.

I've had a few requests to hear my set from the Stillstream broadcast.

Here it is:

I'll leave it up for a week or two.

Mark, I listened to the set (twice through). It's been a good while since I had such a pleasant musical experience.

It was much better than what I expected.

The filtered noise at the beginning was cool. Like the music rose out of a primordial sea.

I liked the delicate percussion and vocal manipulations.

An enchanted, mystical feel hung over the entire set. I think the melodies and flute-like leads induced this. -Like a Sufi singer could have performed alongside this.

Thanks for all your comments. It was fun putting the set together. It's enabled me to get a good start on my City Skies set which is in May. I tried to come up with some gentle melodic pieces as well as classic dark ambient. My new Akai MPK49 controller really helped in this. That arp feature is extremely useful.

I think StillStream is a really great project put together by Darrell Burgan. He's doing a lot to keep ambient music alive. There's ambient music played 24/7, and several nights a week there are live shows. www.stillstream.com

I've had several emails regarding the set. Some have asked what I used, so here's a list of my gear:

Hardware: Moog Voyager, Waldorf Q rack, Waldorf XT, RM1X, MPK49
Software: Reaktor, Moog Modular V2, Chainer, Live
FX: Lexicon MPX550, Line 6 EchoPro (rack)
