Schismatrix (techno/idm, 1998, excerpt)
from dcomμnications Hosted by dcom
An experiment in dancefloor electronics by dcom. Performed and recorded live @ Spheres. Event organized by Pumpkinhead Promotions @ Villa 1898, Tampere, Finland, 1998. This set was recorded on reel-to-reel tape in full, but due to CDR capacity constraints the set was cut to disc length. The master tape was then lost, erased or reused, making this the only remaining version. At the event a separate small room was set up only for this two-hour set of eclectic, experimental electronic music you could (maybe even) dance to: lots of Autechre interleaved with Gescom, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Universal Indicator, E621/Link/Jedi Knights and more - many considered classics today, but really pushing the envelope in 1998. The dancefloor was sparsely populated for the first hour or so, but in the end the room was full, most dancing, some just listening intently. Later someone commented on the fi-rave mailing list that "it was good and proper rhythmic brutality and minor key harmonics, loved it" - this was the set's only feedback.
