Never got around to posting about the Phasmatodea
show at the Atari Convention.

We played two short sets, one first, and one
last. Both in the basement at Farther and Sons
Antiques.

Started off the first set sticking to the theme of atari.
I had the laptop setup so I could trigger a bunch of
samples of atari 2600 games I had made. Samples from
Combat, River Raid, Comsic Ark, Demon Attack, Space
Invaders, etc. I used the Stick->Guitar Synth->Midi
to trigger the samples.

Fun, but kind of hard to play, since the samples weren’t
pitched in any order, and were arranged somewhat randomly.
Tried to use them in a percussive fashion. Not sure how
well it worked in the first set.

Played another piece in the first set, but I don’t really remember what
at the moment.

Second set there were still some folks stuck around (jason0x21, etc).

Was in the mood for “gnarly” so used the korg mono synth
and various fuzz and effects to try to get there.

Second piece was more of a interlocking piece. We do that
kind of thing alot in practice, but hadnt tried it live
yet. Once we had a couple of loops going and a nice pulse
setup, I switched back to the Atari samples, this time more
heavily processed and manipulated. Since this time we were playing a
bit more rhythmically, it seemed to work a bit better.
