Building the live rig

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

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

The rig, set up in Berlin, Germany.

What breaks

Something breaks every night. In Berlin, Germany 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.

Tide Engine is the record we made from those mistakes. The merch table has it on 12 inch, and Lena has the glow ink tees.
