Oops, latest practice saw things go into standard darker style towards the end, so we'll see what happens on the day. Looking most likely to be Sunday evening JST at this stage.
Also about time I posted up a few inspiration references:
I've been lucky enough to see a lot of Nagasawa Rosetsu's work over the years (including the collection at Muryo-ji, Wakayama), but I recently saw this incredible piece for the first time.
Titled 雨中釣燈龍図 (うちゅうつりとうろうず), translated as 'Hanging Lantern in the Rain,' it's part of the National Museum's often-rotated collection.
@Sherkel Yes, but only vague plans at this stage! I'm still trying to work out if I actually have a process, so that'll have to wait until I've at least a couple of tracks finished.
The next TYFTH Live will be this weekend - time and day TBA. I'm planning on trying out some newer, more melodic tracks that wouldn't usually make it into one of my sets, so fans of Substanced et al might enjoy this one.
It'll be on the shorter side, but there'll be more later this month if I can manage it.
This month is a lot busier than expected, but there are still plans for at least one February stream. Most likely at the moment is a shorter set of recent(ish) melodic freeform, somewhere around the 30 minute range.
In other news the tracks I've been hunting have fallen through again, and so that 'other' set won't be happening for a while yet.
The recent routine of poking around in Reason every day was interrupted by that last mix, but I'm back at it now. I've also been seeking out some track/mix inspiration away from NRG and freeform, so I might end up sharing a few notes here.
Big thanks as always to everyone who listened to last night's 'unreleased' set, I really enjoyed it. There's no tracklist this time, but those who listened live had a little extra info on some of what was being played...
TYFTH Live 005 will start at 22:00 tomorrow (26th January). It's unreleased tracks this time, ranging from very, very old to more recent. A few will almost definitely be getting their first-ever play in a mixed set.
The next 'big' TYFTH Live will be in a couple of weeks, I'm doing some track rummaging that'll make it a longer set that I'd originally had in mind. Will settle on the date soon, and I'm working on a couple of other things in the meantime.
The audio from TYFTH Live 004 is now downloadable via soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thank-you-for-the-horse/plasmadancer-tyfth-live-004-24th-december-2019
I won't be doing this with every stream set, but either way new sessions will be up on YouTube as and when, of course.
The TYFTH soundcloud is finally back to its old state, so all the tracks and mixes should be available again. I'm planning to add audio from the twitch streams on there now and then, while the full 'studio' sets will still be going up on the the FINRG SC.
No sign of a studio set appearing for a while I'm afraid, but I'm working with bits and pieces of four different sets at the moment. At least one (or part of one) will be tested on stream later this month.
And the YT link:
Audio only this time, but the visuals are now sorted, ready for the next set.
More are on the way, but with me working on production again I'll try to do a better job than usual of putting time into both. Will update here as much as possible, with bigger announcements on the site.
Last night's tracklist:
01. Epyx & Cyrez - The Lurking Fear
02. Pain on Creation - Ironworks (Gain Edit)
03. Kevin Energy & Proteus - London Helsinki Underground (Proteus Warcry 2011 Remix)
04. Epyx & Cyrez - Polar Energy
05. Nemes & Blender - Inquisition
06. Morita Yuuhei - Sadistic Form
07. RR-ThermalForce - Eternal Cannon (DJ Rx remix)
08. Twisted Freq - Releashed (Original Mix)
09. Alabaster - Galaxy
10. Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling (Transcend remix)
Apologies to anyone waiting for In Praise of Shadows to be available again - the store should be online in a couple of days, once I've stocked up on packaging. Expect a TYFTH post asap!
Huge thanks to Shimotsukei and everyone who joined us for the Lucky Lotus broadcast of our b2b set. Hope to say more on the site soon but for now you can find the set on the FINRG soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/finrg-recordings/shimotsukei-vs-plasmadancer-lucky-lotus-8
@Sherkel Dear me a month late, apologies...very happy to hear about the track. And yup, I love TYFTH and freeform so much that in usual circumstances it's a pleasure to stay on top of both. No plans to give them up here, either!
Here it is - a recording of my 2014 set at CODEX3. I reused parts of it in a Lucky Lotus mix the following year, but this version has a better tracklist overall, I think.
