Special edition of stoor in collaboration with Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live. It was right up my alley, I have thoroughly enjoyed earlier versions of STOOR but it felt like this one was a little mellower, a little less hard techno and more progressive melodic content. Special kudos for Sebastian and JakoJako for the live improvised arpeggiator solos over Sebastian’s chords that were definitely highlight of the evening for me.
The upstairs pink noise room surprised me with another 6 headed jam collaboration. Where previous editions had separate solo programming this time Kaap orchestrated the “de lichting” ljve artists in a live jam. It was a nice intimate setting with ample room for experimentation. Great live playing recorded bass lines on digitone and sequenced melody lines on the deluge. Kaaps vocoder voiceovers added a unique layer on top of this ensemble, making it feel even more like a cohesive live performance group. Looking forward to see this format of STOOR progresses further.
