Скачать или смотреть Sontag Shogun - The Tightrope Session (Full Performance)

Radio static, tape machines, old oscillators, a whisk and a butter knife, piezos, pianos, and lots of loops. We always get asked how we make the music we make as Sontag Shogun. Welp, this is our attempt to show you.

This performance was done in a single take. The sounds are either created in the moment or piped in from old tapes, and then looped and layered to craft compositions. This music is slow, patient, pensive, and then at times cacophonous and fierce — like life, like nature, like love.

Please listen with headphones.

Video was recorded by Maksim Axelrod, with help from Ted Maniatakos and Hannah Marcus. Edited by Ian Temple.
