DVD reçu !

J'ai visionné les clips disponibles en bonus sur le DVD-A hier, et OMG, le film vidéo de 17 minutes projeté derrière le groupe pendant qu'il joue "Anesthetize" en concert est somptueux, bien mieux que ses vrais vidéo clips, qui sont un peu kitsch à mon goût. Il y a bien quelques effets cheap, notamment avec les pilules, mais sinon visionner ces 17 minutes en écoutant le morceau en DTS 5.1 est un trip unique, et une introduction idéale au groupe, pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas

Sonic State Interview:

Richard Barbieri, Porcupine Tree
Six months into the tour, the gear, Reason and the future Live DVD in 2008

After 6 months touring the world with Porcupine Tree, playing their current album "Fear of a blank planet", synthesist and keyboard player Richard Barbieri stopped for a chat with Thomas Wendt at the Docks Club, Hamburg at the end of Nov. 2007.

During the soundcheck, he told us about the tour, his keyboard rig, using Reason instruments alongside hardware synths, the past and the future.

c'est d'une beauté confondante je trouve...

Par ailleurs, news sympa :

On the 4th October 2007 Porcupine Tree arrived for an in-store performance and signing session at Park Avenue CDs in Orlando, Florida, with 200 fans also in attendance. Although it was originally planned that the full band would play, lack of space dictated that it was only the 2 guitarists / singers Steven Wilson and John Wesley who delivered an impromptu performance, including many songs rarely (if ever) played by the band, making for a very special and intimate show. Fortunately this one-off performance was captured by a remote recording facility and the complete 8 song, 33 minute show is now being released in a digipack sleeve created by photographer Lasse Hoile and designer Carl Glover. The CD will be available to pre-order soon from the PT Store (please do NOT email to ask when), and is expected to ship in the week commencing 11th Feb.

Dutch vinyl specialists ToneFloat will also release a quality 180gm vinyl edition of We Lost the Skyline in a gatefold sleeve, with a limited and numbered edition of 1,000 copies on marbled vinyl, and a regular edition on black vinyl. These editions will be released on 18th March, but will also be available to pre-order soon from the ToneFloat website. The Porcupine Tree store will also stock the vinyl editions once they are released.

Full track listing for the album is:

1. the sky moves sideways (4.02)
2. even less (3.27)
3. stars die (4.33)
4. waiting (3.52)
5. normal (4.52)
6. drown with me (4.09)
7. lazarus (4.29)
8. trains (4.04)

Petit update… La réédition de "Lightbulb sun", album sorti après "Stupid dream" et avant "In absentia", est enfin disponible sur le site de Burning Shed. Comme pour "Stupid Dream", l'album est accompagné d'un DVD avec le mix 5.1 (au format DVD audio et DTS). Je l'ai commandé hier et j'ai hate de recevoir ça, pour écouter "Last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is recycled" en surround

watched the first thirty minutes of arriving smwhere.. beuh its true that at times porcupine tree sounds better live than on albums!

DVD shoot

PT will play 2 shows at 013, Tilburg, the Netherlands, on 15th and 16th October. The short run of European shows (no US shows this time) during October is in order to shoot a DVD based on the Fear of a Blank Planet album cycle, and the main body of the filming will take place at Tilburg, where the band will play as much different material as possible during the course of the 2 nights

Une interview de Steven Wilson consacrée à son projet avec Tim Bowess, No-Man

http://www.innerviews.org/inner/noman2.html

Must read exclusive 4-page interview (+ bonus and web-clips) with Steven Wilson! Very insightful!

He talks to Electronic Musician Magazine about the making of his solo album, the inspiration, the recording process in his home studio located at his parent's house and the nuts-and-bolts of using plug-ins, FX processing, editing, mixing in stereo and surround, etc.



Wilson details the technical process and tricks used to create the textures and noises used on a number of tracks. He also mentions all those happy accidents that happen while experimenting.
