here it is! The first recording of A Middle Sex as a three piece. It was recorded live at the Klondyke Club, Levenshulme, Manchester, on that memorable night of Firday 18th April. The bill was Beach Fuzz, Trinity, A Middle Sex, Temperatures and Slasher Risk. All bands have a myspace page, except for Trinity who can be contacted vire www.myspace.com/lorgenstein. The track recorded on our page from that night is a segment of a 8 minute piece we call 'pat your 14'. It was recorded by James from Temperatures using Bi-Nueral microphones. Enjoy......
Hi, Thanks for adding me as a friend and especially nice to hear another of Bela's projects. Each time I listen, I hear a very different sound world being evoked. Hope this new work goes well. Best wishes, Annie
So finally got myself sorted audio-wise...excellent sounds here - I especially love the way the "real" & the "virtual" mix in with each other - who's doing what?! Definitely music which reveals more & more detail on each listen - love it! Cheers, & hope you get some gigs soon. Geoff.
Almost a month to the day since my 1st comment ....audio sorted! Love the blend/clash/transparency of your music - the more you listen the more you hear. Does Magnus actually play any instruments? (No mention of it here). Top Drawn Impro!
Hi Bemass - unfortunately there's something wrong with my audio, so I haven't been able to listen to your music....but I'm sure it will all be up to the usual "Bela-esque" quality!
Good luck & catch up with you later. LegEnd.
