Building the live rig

Two flight cases, eleven drum machines and one very patient sound engineer.

Written by Clea Mendel, Synths, production · · 1 min read · Updated

Every show on this tour is played live: no laptop playback, just drum machines, synths and whatever Clea remembers to bring.

The rig, set up in Bristol, UK.

What breaks

Something breaks every night. In Bristol, UK it was a power strip. We played the last twenty minutes on one synth and the crowd didn't notice.

The mistakes are where the new tracks come from.

Clea

Signal Bloom is the record we made from those mistakes. The merch table has it on 12 inch, and Yuki has the glow ink tees.
