The first ghent session began when Ross Bencina, the friendly visitor from Australia and coder behind AudioMulch visited Ghent. He had played live sets all
over the
world and I suggested to him we could organise a small one right in our living-room. Ross gladly agreed
and a few phonecalls later, we had a tiny audience, mostly fellow audio-freaks.
Ross mostly played abstract granulated audio, ambient if you like. His
style is very 'zen', much like his superb persona. Ranging from
soundscapes to soft rhythmical drones, the complete set took over an hour
and a half sending most of us off to a dreamlike state.
As you can see in the pictures below, we could all clearly see what Ross
was doing on the PC (he uses Audiomulch, obviously), which triggered my
craving for more. I'm an audio coder myself (smartelectronix), so I
like to know how people use audio programs to create their music. At most of
the electronic (live) performances I've seen in my life I didn't even know
if it actually was live or just a DAT playing.
Below you can check out some pictures and even hear a few fragments from
Ross' set...
