-outhern acific+ – Live 2001 (MP3)

-outhern acific+ is the former name of Magneticring, the current solo work of Joshua Stevenson. Member of the Western Canadian group Staked Plain and former member of Jackie-O Motherfucker. Also runs the cast exotic archives label. He's been playing shows under this guise since 1996 after the tour down to Texas with Staked Plain. Originally starting with 2 Casio Sk-1's (Live Sampling) and crude electro-acoustic aesthetic and recently moving into more of a ecstatic sound using a sampling pedal, Acetone, Arp Axxe, and various acoustic sources. This release is two performances from 2001. One consisting of Live instrumentation of Guitar, Filter, Acetone, and sampling pedal and the other a rare laptop show where previous live improvisations where mixed and manipulated live into a dense organic sea of acetone swells and tonal bliss. The Laptop show was performed with visuals of manipulated photography by Joshua Stevenson.
