The latest project from Bop, Oak and Jalex is Microfunk Live. Taking a collection of 30 samples from members of their microfunk.ru site, then in 6 months turning them into 6 tracks. The trio then performed these tracks live in Bop’s apartment. Bop had these words:
“Everyone was able to send to us one sample and then from all this material we wanted to make a tune. After some attempts and because of the extraordinary variety of the samples we changed the concept of the project a little. We decided to produce more tunes, then play it live and make a video of it. So, we took our sampler with chopped one-shots, drum synthesizer, laptop + some other devices and had fun with it.”
Equipment we used:
1x Laptop
1x Launchpad
1x Korg Electribe ES-1 MK2
1x Korg Electribe ER-1
2x Midi Keyboard
1x E-mu 0404 usb Audio/MIDI Interface
1x Usb hub
1x Duck toy
There are plans to start more interesting projects so keep watching on microfunk.ru
