Just the Sound of Your Voice…
The year was 2003, maybe 2002 or 2004? I was driving Jamie Lidell, then of Super Collider fame, to a gig taking place on a boat. This was before “Little Bit of Feel Good” made him a household name.1 He crooned through Paris traffic but for what on earth did he need the insane amount of luggage we hauled through a packed Gare du Nord? On location, the Seine rolled—we spilled insane gear. FX boxes, mini-synths, tweaked pedals, echo chambers, and a Gordian knot of cables spilled, daisy-chaining the mess. Then came mastery. Lidell transmogrified into the breathing live sequencer of his own music, ripping and rebuilding his sound—tearing, stitching, and tweaking his voice, his drums, his keyboards. That was music and raw control. Wizardry, plain and simple. Hence the smorgasbord of knobs, pads, and faders—back when controllers weren’t king. A raw jolt for anyone craving soul in I/O’s slop.
