Edit: found it. Dildozer, etc., right?

Yup!

My two boards for a performance this evening.

That looks amazing!

What are the pedals to the left of and above the Echo Degrader?

Thanks UC

The pedal to the left of the Echo Degrader is a Ghost Echo clone built by a guy local to me. The silver with red markings above the ED is a noise swash I built from a 4ms kit a long time ago. The brown one in the center is a mixer I've been working on that uses body contacts to mix the signals.

Gotta ask about the bowl? Trying hard to resist a 420 joke. Using a contact mic on it?

[chamberpain]

Yes indeed. A contact mic sits comfortably beneath it.

[dunbine]

Very cool setup! Thanks for the clarity.

For a very brief moment, I visualized several audience controlled sphero/bb8 robots rolling around inside the bowl like snowboarders in a halfpipe generating havoc with the contact mic. But it was only for a moment.

Doing my first noise performance in over a year tomorrow and I'm pretty stoked. Going to be using the maximal drone into my board and a mixer with a tape machine for looped/sampled books on tape. The Pitchfactor with the Maximal is super versatile so hopefully I can get everything I need out of that+some reverbs and delay.

That would be pretty amazing. Sphero robots in the thunderdome of a singing bowl.

How do y'all structure your sets? I realized tonight that more careful planning is in order to do this live regularly. I could also do to use less gear. Two boards is a lot for one person to manage. I'm thinking of simplifying down to my mpx 16, a synth, the Maximal, a small board and a mixer

[codetocontra]

What kind of shows are you guys playing? I can't imagine too many places around here would be receptive of my noise show.

[BoatRich]

Richmond has a pretty solid noise scene honestly. I just did a set at a bar that usually has hardcore or metal shows and most of the stuff around here is at smaller bars and houses.

[MrNovember]

I finally have my gear mostly set up in our new house. Just need to hang the hand and cable hanger. But I am so freaking stoked on it already!
