AnalogLive! Audio - The Secret Life of Semiconductors

"The Analoglive performance of The Secret Life of Semiconductors starts with Chas Smith fading in a high E maj triad his steel guitar using a small piece of glass to bow the strings in a sustinuto coloratura style which builds in intensity through the three massive E maj chords that follow. These first events give way to the start of the rhythmic stanza, which consists of the slow build of seven live voices from my synth (four of which were midi controlled and begin immediatly, and three others which fade in shortly afterward)."

Click here for the rest of Peter Grenader's (of Plan B and Buzzclick-Music) notes as well as a link to the recording.
