Electronic Beats Notes:
A Diamond Version live show is an audiovisual experience rather tricky to forget. The live music is accompanied by trippy visuals, designed by the two Germans themselves, who deliver their live show with a no-nonsense attitude. Today, we will focus on the centerpiece of their EB Festival show in Prague from earlier this year, featuring their signature brooding amalgam of electronic sounds.
What makes these 45 minutes so special is that amidst all the clicky percussion, saw synths, drones and robotic vocal snippets lies a quite simple concept: dance music. So putting a spin on Funkadelic’s classic quote, this time just “Shake your ass and your mind will follow”.
Press Info:
Sound of Science is a transatlantic duo comprising Tom and Jason of Analogue Solutions.
Tom has been building synthesisers for over 15 years. He has supplied synths to people such as Trent Reznor, Martin Gore, Vince Clarke, Phil Oakey, Daniel Miller, and many more. The designs are directly influenced by his love of electronic music.
Jason is an analogue synth wizard, composer and a lover of all things that make noise. He also produces the legendary Rezfilter videos (see YouTube) that highlight these excellent synthesizers.
Together they have pooled their years of combined experience in songwriting and sound design to produce real songs using real synthesisers.
