Anton Maskeliade: Substract the silence of myself (2014)

"I operate according to the principle of 'first takes.' In other words, I always leave the initial, roughest pieces of a composition in the final edit. They embody a beautiful, honest carelessness.With my completely improvised performances in New York, Luzern, Stockholm and Moscow, I bring this elusive principle into the genres of electronica and contemporary pop. Using my whole body, I create new soundscapes on the spot with 3D MIDI controllers and glitchy samplers. Never the same song twice. A strong proponent of new technology, I regularly look for the new devices to diversify my live performances. As a result, I am developing gesture control technique to adjust not only audio effects but also the projection making whole set more interactive. I performed at one stage with Xeno and Oaklander and The Herbaliser. Im going to play with Moderat next month"
