Sound Builders: Peaking Lights Are Teasing Lo-Fi Musical Magic From DIY Gear


via Motherboard.TV
"Our new series Soundbuilders travels to Madison, Wisconsin to visit Peaking Lights, a married musical duo famed for their pulsating looped-rhythm tracks composed on re-purposed scraps, stereos, and lo-fi gear. We watch as husband and wife prepare for tour by paring their studio down to the bare essentials needed to produce Peaking Lights’ distinctive sound.

While we were hanging out, we got a peek into Aaron’s completely untechnical, yet highly rigorous process of Frankensteining long forgotten consumer electronics. Using the most unassuming hunks of wood, metal, and plastic, Peaking Lights produce surprising and highly personal results"

  1. I played a show years ago with his old band RAHDUNES. Their equipment was amazing. I remember a reel to reel stripped of the reels with patch cables going in and out of it. Made this underwater rumble that was massive.
