Seriously, the most compelling thing I've heard this year - Keith Fullerton Whitman in recent live action, a masterfully controlled display of surging, bleeping intensity (as sublimely skilled & ferociously pressing as Barcelona's first half on Wednesday night). At the risk of even worse comparative glibness, it's as if one of the great serial composers got waylaid in a kosmische-inclined Berlin squat...
KFW: "a recent live-set, utilizing 3 portable cabinets of eurorack modules (one of oscillators & processors, one of control & clocking sources, and one of drums & clock dividers) to yield a continually morphing, non-sequenced grid of timed events, centered around a 4-part sample & hold "canon" ... a pair of lfo's "drive" the entire patch ; in fact every pitch or pulse is derived from one of these two sources .."
