Live at Cafe OTO
<p>Between 2014 and 2018 Bryan Eubanks and Xavier Lopez developed an analog networked duo music based on the harmonics of random feedback, using this information to shape generative rhythms and other juxtapositions in real time. Adding soprano saxophone and percussion to the mix made what could be a stable machine system human again – flaws and fluctuation giving life to momentary crystal time forms. After over a decade of continued collaboration these initial characteristics remain but the music itself is far more messy and lived in/through. For this performance at Cafe OTO they invited others into the music. Clara de Asís joined on modular synthesizer and percussionists Todd Capp and Jordan Topiel Paul added to the music as they moved around the room playing 2 extra pairs of Clave.</p> <p>Recorded live August 28th, 2025 by Shaun Crook at Cafe Oto, London as part of a 3 day Sacred Realism Residency.</p> <p>Xavier Lopez – supercollider, keyboard</p> <p>Bryan Eubanks – soprano saxophone, metal plate feedback, clave, dsp, supercollider</p> <p>with</p> <p>Clara de Asís – modular synthesizer</p> <p>Todd Capp & Jordan Topiel Paul – clave</p>
