  • Finlay Shakespeare is an artist that operates in two worlds of electronic music. As the founder of Future Sound Systems, Shakespeare engineers Eurorack modules (including a series based on Chris Carter’s device, The Gristleizer) and standalone synths such as the Brunswick. As an artist, he makes gritty, ’80s-leaning synth pop that sits somewhere between Factory Floor and Depeche Mode.
    On this Patch Notes session, the Bristol-based artist performs live with an array of vintage and analog gear, including an ARP 2600. Shakespeare’s two recent albums for Editions Mego, 2019’s Domestic Economy and 2020’s Solemnities, are available now. Find more music by Shakespeare at Bandcamp.

    Any performance that begins with the artist slapping their delightfully fancy equipment in such an epic way is a winner in my opinion 😀

      Maybe it is done to excite the spring of the spring reverb

      @elyssapalmer2298 Před 3 lety +2

      @@anonymoushuman8344 no I’m fairly sure it was to make the spring reverb let out that big boom on the beginning. I used to do the same thing w my guitar amp all the time

    • @anonymoushuman8344
      @anonymoushuman8344 Před 3 lety

      Elyssa Palmer - I think you're right, he does set a spring reverb vibrating there. There's also silence just before. Doesn't this mean he also flicks a switch or turns a knob with the other hand? Or is he able to trigger the total audio with the same jostle that vibrates the spring?

      I agree with you in this case, but it is a double edged sword. i think most of time vocals ruin the intricacies you get from modular gear.

    Vox took me by surprise Finlay, easily easily the best, most focused, patch notes yet. And the song hits.. and it works beautifully as a live take. I hope when this comes out it isn't any more produced than it is here. Leave it raw. Floored. Excellent.
