Corner House Podcast When Unlikely Things Happen Kit Abramson & dubsection by dubsection
Corner House Podcast review of When Unlikely Things Happen by Kit Abramson & dubsection. Performed 14/10/2011 at the Corner House, Manchester.
Working with artist Kit Abramson we set off an installation of metronomes in an attempt to play out The Amen break. Positioned on an array of swinging, rolling and floating apparatus, the metronomes were programmed in the hope of revealing this classic beat in an unrepeatable event. To change the sounds we used Abletons formants filters and effects, with an Akai APC 40 and a Pro 40 but kept true to the performance not using samples or any recorded material. The beat was achieved by only switching mics on and off.
The performance lasted approximately 30 minutes.
