I'm a big fan of Thipe's crazy avant-prog, and this is one of the few occasions he's ventured out live on his own.
I found a review of his debut gig at the Arts Cafe in London, maaaan,I wish I'd witnessed that night.
Those flamboyant costumes have me sold, that's for sure.
Thipe's been quiet for the last few years, though I hear tell rumblings over on Head Heritage that there may be a new release shortly.
Here's some patchy information about the man himself. from Wiki and his official website
And here's some 'Synth Porn' from his home studio, Mmmmmm.
Apologies for the scratchy pic from the Dublin gig, and a couple from the Arts Cafe even too.

Hi, thanks for commenting on my blog today. Just looked at your music interests and it reads like a list of all the artists who inspired the artists on my list (half expected to see Eat Static on there?). I'm with you on the jazz/classical thing, I have tried but can't seem to get my head around it. Having said that I think there are very close links with the genres, e.g Squarepusher, Venetian Snares.
ReplyDeleteMy mum cleaned old people's houses for years and said the most interesting people lived in the untidiest/dirtiest houses. That makes me VERY interesting. Good luck with your pre-sleepover tidy up (ram everything into a gap and spray some deodorant).
