I see what you mean about some of the Flanger keyboards, but I think
there is an implied emphasis on live instrumentation going on there
too. At least thats the impression I got from the cover of Templates
where Burnt Friedmann is sitting at a drumkit and Atom Heart is holding
a bass. Of course, the execution seems to take a lot of studio
tweaking/sequencing into the formula so perhaps there are some
sequenced keys. Bottom line though is that Atom Heart is perhaps one
of the most prolific IDM artists (at least in terms of published
material) and anyone who makes that much music has GOT to have a handle
on how to play the keyboard. At least I'd think so.
Also, on the topic of Squarepusher and his liveness, could someone make
a really nice video of his performance at Coachella? I wish I could
fly out to catch it, but it comes right at the worst week of the
semester with finals and all. Goddamnit. I'm sure they'll be plenty
of peeps with MD recorders, but if he has a band with him, it'd be
awesome if there was a video boot floating around afterwards.
