I thought I'd lost these long ago, and I have no idea what the quality is. Unless there's already a known and good quality boot circulating from this show, I'll digitize this at some point and share to the Archive
I don't think there's any direct line between Mandy and Skinny Puppy, but they share some genes. I caught a midnight screening at The Revue in Toronto the other night, and it's always great to hear Jóhann Jóhannsson's score loud. In case you haven't seen it, you've got something good to look forward to
I knew about the Fascist Jock Itch story, but never heard of this until Patriarchy shared it yesterday. What was the story in Saskatoon?!
Some behind the scenes Reznor/Ross studio talk from 18:13
Sharing this favourite deep cut again
busy work month is coming to a close, so it's been a few weeks since I've done too much in the studio (but had a solid several months of production and performances before)
Yesterday was a chance to check out the update, playing with the new oscillators and the Jura Chorus I loaded on recently. I wanted to push this hard into clipping and beading on itself for something I'm working on
my favourite pre-DRG track. plays well with Chainsaw.
Been a while since I saw this clip, but never the whole movie

Wish they'd recorded their shows, specifically for the Braps between Dwayne and cEvin
grainy bootlegs are better than AI upscales.
here's a grainy bootleg of :
Process Is ...
Process Media Labs / Genesis P-Orridge
music by Skinny Puppy / Psychic TV
1994
not sure if this out there in any other form, but I missed my chance to see it in 2000. Cool to hear a very raw mix of The Process, and a different side of Puppy Gristle
I wrote a brief 'review' of the exhibition of mail art that Genesis P-Orridge sent to Canadian collective General Idea/FILE Magazine in the 70s. It spans COUM+TG, and good to know that the National Gallery of Canada has these materials in the public collection.

I wrote from the perspective of the exchange Gen and I had, beginning 25 years ago this October. From 2005 I worked on the crew of a Gysin doc FLicKeR, which Gen was central to. The last time I spent with Gen was when they came to Toronto in July 2019.

During a blizzard in December 2O24 I activated the trial on the Stage Piano. Prior to this I'd been using a few Spitfire pianos, which sounded very good, but had 'artifacts' in them that became a little too monotonous in the mix. The Stage Piano was incredibly malleable, and it was great to be able to play it without latency, and thanks to someone on here I was directed to a good sale on the plugin. I love stacking instances of instruments to play into simultaneously, so I'll look forward to getting a Live III eventually, when I can REALLY mangle sounds.
I've played a few shows recently with my 2 seaboards, 3 Kaoss Pads and the Live II paired with a Tascam Model 12 (Kaoss Pads connected in series, receiving signal from the Sub Out, and returned to their own stereo channel)
It works, but it's bulky (I'll likely find a better fx/loop chain to replace my Kaoss Pads, and would love to find a comparable and more compact mixer/multi-track recorder)
This is one of many practice/sound-design sessions from the last few months
