Rustal

Been recording loads lately and really happy with how much music I’ve made so far this year.
Simplified the setup and set up a new effects chain on the Model 24 with the SE-70( Thanks Jay ) OTO Boum and RE 20 Space Echo.
Stripped the machines back and found myself drawn to the 909 sound more and more this year.
Just groove and functionality really.

Favourite slide?

Next Saturday I’m warming up live for Moritz von Oswald at Tengu in Dublin.

His work has had a lasting influence on how I approach music and still inspires me today. M5 is one of my favourite records. That simplicity and groove are hard to beat.

It’s been a few years since I last played the club and I’m really looking forward to this one.

Limited tickets available via Resident Advisor.


 





I got some time this year through a Music Agility Award to do a bit of reading around Irish electronic music.

I didn’t realise people here were experimenting with tape and electronics as far back as the 50s and 60s. RTÉ even had an Experimental Music Studio where people were cutting tape and figuring things out as they went.

It surprised me. Not in a big way, just enough to make me stop and think about where things actually come from.

Curious how other people see it.

What does Irish electronic music mean to you?
