The last of our DEAF recordings sees idiosyncratic hip-hop flavours and masterful turntablism on show from Galway group Vince MackMahon. Plundering a wide-range of source material, twisting them into seemless explorations of sample contortion, Vince MackMahon finished off the gig in style.

Nice dynamic progression in this set. Big washes of synth open it, gradually shifting to thunderous analogue percussion and pulsing blips. PMC work their big analogue gear set-up to deliver the huge warm sounds you've been waiting for.

If you're wondering why the set is in four different sections, it's because Ed hates you all. -C

PMC work their big analogue gear set-up to deliver the huge warm sounds you've been waiting for.PushMoveClick are a live analogue modular group. They use three modular synths, MPC's, home-made noises boxes, synths, effects pedals, home-made touchscreen drum machine and sequencers. They start each track fresh with no set structure so anything could happen. At DEAF part of their show was based on creating a piece using random pieces of audio which were submitted to Second Square to None for our Ten Second Rule project. All the audio was processed through the modular synths and various machines. The rest of the show was then improvised with no set rules or boundaries.

Fionn Wallace (Fyodor) has been doing a radio show on Belfield FM that showcases an eclectic mix of quality music. He has now put some of the shows online & they are well worth checking out. Tracklist & info here.
Square Waves is broadcast on the UCD college radio station Belfield FM. It goes out on Fridays, usually at 9pm. To listen live go to www.belfieldfm.ie. The show is intended as an airwaves auxiliary to Second Square To None. It's aim is to showcase some of the finest in experimental musics, especially irish artists. The shows are loosely thematic as regards genre. The aim is to fluctuate between noise, beats, the weird and the sublime, perhaps even folk. I keep a quota of at least 25% irish artists, so if you make experimentalish music, hail from Eire and would like you're tracks played on the show, PLEASE SEND THEM, with info about yerselves. Thanks.

Certain folk around SSTN towers are saying they're gonna learn VVVV (a software toolkit for real time video synthesis). If they do then we might be bringing this type of generative visual style to SSTN events in the future, here's hoping...Was reminded of Alva Noto by a recent post on Design Boom. Wasn't aware that his live shows looked so amazing.
'I describe what I do as graphic composing,' nicolai reveals. 'I’m always thinking in polarities, like yin and yang. I look for visualization tools that create certain images and then build archives of images generated by sound.'
More info and examples here.

Euphiophone & Melesta
This week's live set is from the guy who makes this blog (and most of the fliers and design related to sstn) look like it does, Euphiophone, joined by bassist Melesta in her debut performance. Jumping from melodic and positively cheerful to distorted and dark, a distinctly cinematic feel exists in this set: ch-ch-ch listen now!
Euphiophone & MelestaEuphiophone is an electronica artist based in Dublin. He played in a couple of bands in his native Monaghan that set the standards for late-nineties-rock-cover-bands-based-in-Monaghan before becoming a bedroom producer. His music is a dynamic hybrid of styles and sounds, with industrial beats and warm synth melodies combining with processed live guitar and laptop electronics. He has done a select couple of gigs about town, including supporting Black Dog. He is involved with the organization of the Second Square To None group.
For his live performance at DEAF he is in collaboratied with Melissa Conlon (a.k.a. Melesta), a graphic designer based in Dublin.
