This live performance by Luca Longobardi shows one of the reasons why many people that figure out the Elektron Octatrack love it.
While the Octatrack may be marketed with glitch techno demos, it’s an extremely deep and flexible piece of gear that can be used for a wide range of purposes. Here, Longobardi uses the Octatrack as a live looping multi-effects machine to process and accompany the piano performance – resulting in a performance that may bring to mind the work of Harold Budd or Nils Frahm.
Here’s what Longobardi shared about the technical details: “Basically, it continuously records and play what I play, effecting the recorded material with random reverse, glitchy delay and reverb effects (thank you LFOs and Trig Conditions!).”
stunning!!!
Loves this.
That was awesome and inspiring
what i can see/hear is the beautiful piano mechanics obviously… (not criticism here)
yeah when you can play like that you will make anything sound good, the fx are just a cherry on top. nice.
This is very hice. I wish it was longer.
live looping/SFX is one of the best applications of the octatrack
