Returning to Loftus Hall this past Saturday night, I caught Chymera presenting a live-set in celebration of his recently-released LP (which comes highly recommended).
The above LP - Death by Misadventure - is a collection of dreamy, ethereal techno. Having given it a pretty solid rinse over the last few weeks, I was surprised to not recognise anything from the album in his live-set... maybe he hasn't yet worked out a way to present his newer material in a live format? (fair enough - these things can't be rushed).
Instead we were treated with some up-beat, melodic techno (no complaints here!). A tight sound, aimed squarely at the dance floor. Would love to hear him again in a bigger venue.
In terms of his set-up, it was something like:
two Novation Launchpads - one for launching clips, the other as a type of step-sequencer
two Korg NanoKontrols - for levels and FX sends, it seemed
Ableton
a Virus module (outboard synth)
