improvisational electronic music

What do you think of Holy Fuck?

They’ve been getting a certain amount of press lately, partially because everybody likes an excuse to put “holy fuck” in their magazine/paper/blog, and partially because foodie Rachel Ray got them to play at her SXSW party.

They’re getting characterized as an electronica band, but they seem more like a jam band with a couple of synth players.

What makes them interesting to me is the way they are incorporate live noise jamming into a context that makes the music fairly accessible. Not really my thing – but it seems they could open up electronics to a new audience.

 

Arnaud van Beek doing some Vangelis-style live improv, using a Yamaha HS7 as master keyboard, Roland D70 synthesizer and a computer with V-stack, Hypersonic 2, Nexus, The Grand.

van Beek’s music is retro-esque synth music. You can preview some of his tracks below. More info at van Beek’s site.

      something to think about

      The reason I don’t tour is that I don’t know how to front a band. What would I do? I can’t really play anything well enough to deal with that situation. — Brian Eno
