Why a new project?
thebrokendoor have been playing as a live improvised drum n bass four piece for a good six or so years now and time has come to add another string to our bow. We have had an amazing time playing gigs where people wouldn’t expect live drum n bass to be played and have met some brilliant people along the way. We decided we want to try and get onto the line ups of nights specifically playing drum n bass and dubstep. Technically it’s difficult to put on a band such as ours at these sort of nights so we decided to reinvent ourselves! Don’t worry though, the band will still be playing live when we can!
So what does this new set entail?!
We are syncing four laptops together and each using Ableton Live. Each one us contributes to the sound in real time playing our favorite tracks, but this is no average DJ set with four people. As well as listening to your favorite drum n bass tune, we are pulling samples from other songs and adding them on top……for instance you may be listening to the latest Goldie tune with Lady Gaga singing on top and a Rage Against The Machine guitar riff shredding underneath. As you can imagine this is a huge undertaking to find things that fit together really well but with our voodoo magic we have made this happen!
When can I see this live?
We are letting this one drop for the first time on new years eve!!!! We are playing live improvised drum n bass as a band first and then letting this laptop set out the bag! We are all seriously excited about this, this should be an incredible night out.
