le octo p!

check it:
there's this really cool band that has a focus on playing live shows - or at least has the ability to play live shows with all the parts of their music present in the album - while still containing that electric feel that draws so many to the world of electroacoustics.
this band, of course, is the octopus project. http://www.theoctopusproject.com/
finish this later. go to class now.
love, vincent

i'm back.
so. the octopus project. right.
the female singer in the band is known for being a great theremin player. in some parts of their album, hello avalanche, she layers the theremin to create an ethereal sound that is unlike anything else i know of. how she plays this live, i cannot rightly tell. i am unsure if she uses pre-recorded tracks or if perhaps she uses a loop pedal. i would assume the former so that she can have the option of starting with multiple tracks. her sound textures with the theremin give the band a unique feel, and when combined with heavily distorted guitars and live drums, their music is positively infectious.

horray music.
