Raw Rave 03 - Transformator live by Raw Rave published on 2021-03-02T08:36:29Z TRANSFORMATOR liveACT is a solo analogue/hardware/DAWLESS project found by Peter Simon. Everything is being played live without triggering from external devices such as laptop or software but playing an actual instruments themselves, specifically MOOG Little Phatty and Roland TR-8 and few fx pedals. Pumping continuous spacey techno groove is endless transformation expressing Peters’ deep moods happening in momentum of performance, celebrating and honoring a magic of present moment, life and connection with his audience... Builds up sound by sound, tone after tone, expands wider and wider when suddenly tightens it entirely, plays around with it, then breaks it down into fragments where something new is starting again... Hmmmm... Transformation... Peter grew up in purely instrumental backround (grunge/rock/punk/reggae), later evolved through jungle, hip-hop, funk, "broken beat" dnb into the world of house and techno. With zero musical education mastered multiple instruments purely on his own. Due to his flexible style performed with many bands and acts as percussionist (djembe/cajon) rocked on stages and even street performances and bands. "When I got to DJaying, I was never fulfilled with buying tracks and just mixing stuff from some other artists. Imho it just feeled almost too easy! So I thought better mix my own tracks, right? And then I saw this random guy in a backstage, jamming live only with pocket size Korg Kaossilator!" So Peter started collecting Korgs' toys, learned everything about Kaossilators and Electribes and their limits. Thanks to them he's learned to some synthesis basics. Until the day, he had an opportunity to touch MOOG synth for the first time... Felt in love immediatelly, switched 5 korgs for moog and drummachine (yes, only two instruments) and from there goes this liveset that U hear. Peter believes that music/sound, momentum of creation is an essential foundation for life to exist and he performs to honour it. Genre Techno Comment by Nathan Solo Hezky 2021-03-02T09:19:53Z
