  • Unlike many electronic music duos, brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll don’t just go on stage spinning turntables and then call that a performance. Orbital plays live techno using real synthesizers, drum machines, effects processors, Ableton Live, iPads, and MacBook Pros. In this video from Moogfest 2012, they give us a quick but close-up look at all the gear they drag onstage for a concert, explaining how they pull everything together to perform live music on the fly.

    As much as I understand that technology advances and opens artists up to new worlds, I do kind of miss Orbital playing live with massive banks of synths and fx units. This pared down setup makes travelling easier but just seems like it is missing some of that soul. Not anything against using that type of gear and soft-synths, I mean without that I would never have been able to also get into music production as those hardware synths and vintage synths are damn expensive. I have just always associated Orbital with tons of gear, which you can still see bu watching videos of Phil showing his gear room.

    • @kappakai78
      @kappakai78 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it may give them more flexibility to change on the fly. Their sets are noticeably different than the old ones. I’m sure part of that is cause they’ve remade so many older tracks. But where they were performing instruments before, they seem to be more improvisational now, and I imagine Ableton has helped provide that flexibility. Sort of like how Sasha’s DJ sets completely changed when Ableton first came out. Hard to stay fresh for 30 years, gotta change it up somehow.
