WCBN Night of Noise 2016

This year’s annual fundraising improv session went really well, Tyler Carr brought in a huge synth rig and set up turntables and delay pedals, and a few guests from Arbor Vitae showed up. It got off to a little bit of a late start (only 10 minutes or so) and it ended at 5AM, but here’s all 7 hours, along with photos by Mike Perini.

The Orb @ Magic Bag, 9/26/15

The Orb played at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, a suburb of Detroit. The club usually does not have electronic shows, it’s usually cover bands or singer/songwriters or washed up classic rock or something. (I did see Mark Kozelek there last year though.) The crowd and the opening DJ were stuck in the ’90s; Faithless was playing when I walked in and I saw someone wearing an URB magazine hoodie. The Orb were awesome though. Thomas Fehlmann was mixing beats from a laptop and Alex Patterson was throwing in dub effects and soundbites. Lots of samples from The KLF’s Chill Out, lots of Kompakt-y dance beats, a bunch of the hits from the first album (I don’t think they played anything from U.F.Orb or Orbvs Terrarvm), and an Eminem/”Toxygene” mashup (because, you know, Detroit). The visuals crapped out halfway through but they eventually got them running again.
