He performs in a variety of different EDM festivals and he DJs, but always brings an instrumentalist with him now he has a really good guitar player touring with him, and before me it was also a guitar player. There are no vocalists in the band and I'm not able to really move around, so for me it's a way to make the show a bit more entertaining and it's definitely a very good compliment to the few crowd interactions that I place during the show.Īs to when I started doing it - before I released the first EP Métropole and before I started touring basically with the current live band I was playing as Gramatik’s keyboard player for a year. For the audience it definitely makes a very big impact, so it makes it more entertaining. There are maybe a couple of key runs that I have to try at that angle to make sure I'm able to play them as well, but it's still very minor, so it's not a huge technical challenge.
Do you find that it makes a difference in how you play – does it make things more difficult?įor the playing part it's actually pretty similar. I also noticed that you perform with your keyboard tilted forward, which gives the audience a great view of what you’re doing. Whether it's a solo or a specific part, I want everything to feel like it was arranged and prepared to be like very, precise, I guess. So improv is definitely the foundation of the earlier stages of my creative process, but then as soon as I dive into the arrangement process or the actual Anomalie live shows, it's like the total opposite end of the spectrum, it's extremely prepared. Performance-wise I do improvise from time to time when I go to a jam session, or when just practicing at home and trying to come up with ideas.
I’m curious as to how you strike the balance in the studio and performing live between arrangements and improvisation? Your performance videos are a great way to see how you write songs that incorporate improvisation.
