OUTPOST #15 Wrap

Thanks to all of you that came down to OUTPOST 15 last night!

Our secret and special guest was Robert Henke (aka Monolake) who was very generous with his time and played a great 1 hour 15 min set using his amazing Monodeck II interface (video), Ableton Live* and a MacBook that is on loan to him from Arck after his own laptop suffered a completely terminal motherboard failure. Big thanks again to Robert for coming down to be part of OUTPOST.

We also had a fab set from Evil Jed who bought his multi-pedal and laptop combo down to Horse Bazaar to lay some some tight breaks and great atmoses. Thanks to Jed for making it down as well.

And as always thanks to all the jammers - especially a strong turn out from our VJ’s: Matt Gingold, Projector Obscura and Jonty Burton among others.

Our audio jams will be up on the podcast and site in the next few days so stay tuned!

NEXT OUTPOST #16: Wednesday 27th February

* for those of you that may not know, Robert has been a key member in the development of Ableton Live from the outset and still is key member of the software development team at Ableton. See more here.

What’s on for OUTPOST #15

Our 2008 season launches on Wednesday the 30th of January at Horse Bazaar from 8:30 p.m.

We may have a special surprise guest performing, so there is a very good reason to come to the first Outpost for the year! Do not miss this one… seriously.

We are also very pleased to have regular Outpost jammer, producer and sonic landscaper Evil Jed (a.k.a. Gerrard Jenner) doing his first feature set. Jed has been sculpting environments for listeners to cohabitate for the last 12 years and his musical output runs the full gamut from pop to experimental, with his latest works having a dub techno/haunted house flavour. Jed also employs home built electronics and programmed devices into his live sets so expect an exciting performance.

Gerrard also runs Beats and Bleeps, a night showcasing local producers and also the monthly sound production workshop iNPuT.
