Run-off Groove – Live, Edinburgh, Nov 2012


Live performance using 12″ record run-off grooves and an augmented Technics 1210 turntable, a djembe and a spring drum, all going through various Max for Live instruments and effects. This performance is derived from (but quite different to) my tune Run-off Groove.

Recorded at The Institute, Edinburgh on 30th November 2012 (thanks to the guys there for the photo, too!)
