What goes thump in the night?

from the mind of cinch on 1 October 2007

Whud up my peoples,

Big news!

I performed my first cinch set a couple days ago at a friends house party in Surrey. It went swimmingly. My setup consists of my 4 year old PC laptop running Fruityloops 4 (hells yeah), my novation remote zero sl, and my new Kaoss Pad 3. The beauty of the whole thing is that I can perform most of my set with the laptop screen closed. Hooray for proper Live Performance Art!! I intended to play and hour set at the party but ended up playing for about 3 hours in total. I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it. The other performers at the party were playing slammin’ electro and psy-trance (ug) so I wanted to play the electronic opposite, ie, stripped down underwater/subterranean minimal chuggers. My kick drum consisted soley of an 808 thump, while my hi-hat couldn’t have been much longer than 4 ms (haha not really). In other words, she was micro. Imagine the dream you had this morning and then send it on a fission powered rocket ship to Jupiter’s third moon and back; the dream is now the sound of my hi-hat.

Anyways, I feel like I got people talking and smiling, which was my goal. There was also a bit of dancing thrown in there just to spice things up. All of the other DJ’s were playing so loud that I felt like the party needed to chill a bit. It seemed to work out well.

If you’d like cinch to play at your house party (in the greater vancouver area), email him at cincher(at)gmail.com

This coming week is full of crazy parties in Vancouver. We’ve got Trentemoller, Mathew Jonson, Pheek, and Tuoane, paying us a visit. I’m going to try to see everyone, I fear my legs won’t cooperate. Oh did I mention that…

INKWELL is opening for Pheek THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!!

I know I’m pounding this show into your noggins and have no remorse.

Oh by the way, If you haven’t noticed we’ve got comments on all of the blog posts now so you can feel free to call me a wanker if need be.
