Reductive Transduction - Lecture 16 (Industrial Revolution: The Textile Trade) [excerpt 2]

Having another chance to make some sounds in the lovely studio space that'd hosted Track Could Bend a few months previously, I wanted to assemble some sonic adventurers in tune with the in situ vibes — which meant convincing the members of Nidus to convene for a don't-call-it-a-comeback night of audio manipulations and accumulations. And in the spirit of those notorious Nidusian noisefields, I also arranged to have the city's #1 Nidus cover band lead things off. This trio, with Del Stephen (Fender Rhodes, synth, tapes), Liz Lima (clarinet, vocals) and Heraclitus Akimbo (keyb, tapes, pedals, pocket Miku) delved deep into the technological turmoil of the 18th century, refracting Nidus' reflections on the technological turmoil of today.
