Yes, Nearly There!
Producer Jeff Blenkinsopp and guitarist Alan McSeveney developed the computer controlled analogue rig over 9 months at Ears. This sound processing unit is a ground breaking invention, an integration of computer technology with the unrivalled majesty of analogue sound.
Built for KiNo Live, this equipment uses the same idiosyncratic production methods of the Map of the Universe to achieve its psychedelic sound live during performance.
At this point, the technical development phase is concluding and the equipment will soon leave Ears to rehearsal space.
One of the last components of the KiNo Live rig, monikered ‘tower of power’ by Blenkinsopp, is the macmini to computerise the settings of the filter units.
This is what our controllers look like. It’s a pedal board with no sound effects. Containing an expression pedal, tuner, sustain pedal and midi xchange for recalling the computerised settings of full range of analogue effects generated by Blenkinsopp’s Fu2s and Fu3s. Designed by Alan McSeveney.
