Patch Notes: Church Andrews & Matt Davies

Показать описание

Church Andrews (aka Kirk Barley) and percussionist Matt Davies describe their recent collaborative project NEIGHBOURS as a “conversation” between their instruments, in which digital synthesis and drums combine in an exploration of timbre, tuning and time signatures influenced by jazz, hip-hop and dub techno.

On this episode of Patch Notes, the duo present a performance that marks what they say is marks a “transitional period” in their development as a duo, which sees them experimenting with two of Polyend’s Perc drum robots to add some unique acoustic percussive elements to their setup, which also includes a Boss KM-60 Mixer for adding subtle distortion, Roland RT-30 drum trigger and Akai MPD 226 MIDI controller.

“The first two tracks are Patch Notes exclusives, new jams we haven’t documented yet,” the duo says. “The third track is a live rendition of ‘TRACE’ from our EP, with additions of the Polyend Perc on a handpan. The final track is an improvisation exploring a sound palette and rhythmic interaction between Matt and the Polyend Perc.”

As a drummer who moved into synths and music production this kind of thing is exactly where I hope to end up some day.

Matt (Mattronome) Davies. One of the best drummers I've played with and had the pleasure of seeing live. The guy is machine! Sounding very good this :)

I love that younger musicians are taking music into such different directions. Whenever I think that music can't get any better, more challenging, or more enjoyable they surprise the crap out of me.

It's awesome to have creative people around you. Sometimes you'll get lucky and have something like these two

Loved it sounds like all of Mark Fell's best works reinterpreted for live playback
Meaning if they release it I would buy it

I would like this ten times if I could, thank you. This is also so in line with what I wish for the popular hip-hop derived music of our day. I found it very inspiring, I hope other people do as well.
