Welcome to 2012! According to a pop interpretation of the Mayan calendar we\u2019re going to go face-to-face with the apocalypse that we\u2019ve all secretly hoping would finally happen. If you believe that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
Here at solipsistic NATION<\/b> we\u2019re going to kick off the new year the same way we kick off each month: a live performance<\/a> from an electronic music. But instead of one performance, we\u2019re going to hear two! One from Pimmon<\/a> and one from Landcrash<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both Pimmon and Landcrash appeared on the Soft<\/a> edition solipsistic NATION<\/b> back in December. That was a great show and Landcrash and Pimmon\u2019s music really moved me. I asked if they\u2019d be interested in coming on the show with some recorded live material. They both said yes and sent me their live sets, tout suite!<\/p>\n Paul Gough is Pimmon and he\u2019s prepared a special in-studio live performance for us. Daniel Hopkins is Landcrash and we\u2019ll hear his live set recorded at the White Star. Their music is both beautiful and utterly haunted.<\/p>\n Since they both explore the same sonic territory and are both on labels I really enjoy (12K<\/a> and the Feedbackloop Label<\/a>), I decided to feature their live sets on one show. It\u2019s also the reason why I asked them similar questions and it was pretty interesting to hear how their sensibilities differed and converged.<\/p>\n Join us again next week when we\u2019ll showcase<\/a> music from Artoffact Records<\/a>. Until then, bask in the music of Pimmon and Landcrash. That seems to be the best way to experience it.<\/p>\n
