Richard Devine

Hey Audioheadz

Have any of you ever heard of Richard Devine??? Amazing laptop artist, just witnessed his performance at the Warp Magic Bus stop in Munich, which also had Luke Vibert and Ovuca..

He played on two laptops simultaneously, and for those who are interested, one PC and one Mac!

yes he's on of the few laptop-artists really having an unique style. quite cool. he played here in jena ca. two years ago (together with phoenecia) and he also used two laptops. got that set on md.
as far as i know he is writing his own software.

[FORMAT]

I don't know about writing his own software--- he definitely had Logic on this Titanium, and, as he is a NI endorser, something by them as well (Reaktor). Phoenicia played too but Devine was over the top.
DO you have that ovuca set available for download somewhere? There is one @ klangforschungost as well...


FORMAT

oh yes... here a pic with him and logic...

nope, don't know about an ovuca-recording. i have no mp3-sets at all since my connection is to lame to download any. i only got 'real' live sets recorded from the mixer-output. word!

Hi amble,

I would be interested in that R. Devine set - would you be ready to record it onto another MD and send it to me if I sent you an envelope and the postage? I live in Munich, Germany, so it's no big deal.
Or, alternatively, I will be playing in Leipzig in mid-June with my odd-meter jazz band, if you wanna come see us I'll put you on the guest list and you can give me the MD there.....

You can contact me directly at saltimbocca@gmx.de

rich has been using the mac/pc set-up for a while now, i'd say since '97?? i first met him back in the summer of '96 through a mutual friend, he's def. a unique guy; super nice.

i'm glad he's found a sound, he's always had the heavy metalic-sounds influence, a big meat beat fan. i remember him doing mills-esque tracks at the time.

that is all.

yep becoming quite a fan of his work in a short span of time..my first exposure was his remix of Come To Daddy..really love Lipswitch..took me a while to get used to aleamapper
this maybe ooold news but native instruments site has a detailed interview and a previously unreleased bunch of mp3s there just go to the native instruments site and plonk his name into the search field...

Yeah, I see many of use are diggin' what he is doing. His was really one of the most interesting live electronic acts I've seen so far, though I must say Ovuca was also quite thrilling. Warp rules!


FORMAT

he actually did his first tracks for drop bass network, this hardcore label from milwaukee...then he did some stuff for communique, woody mcbride's label.

he used to have the craziest gear collection ever...

devine is good. i like his last album "alea mapper" or so...higher chillfactor than the one before.

[FORMAT]

I really ought to get that latest one... he rocked the house big time at the Warp Bus Tour, but I failed to buy a copy right there....

If you dig ritchie's stuff, you should check out Otto Von Schiriach as well. Very skilled musician as well.
