Magnetik North is ‘live drum electronics’. Drum performances are fed through processors, samplers and sequencers to produce layers of rhythmic patterns that interact with each other. Other instruments are melted into different textures so that only the harmonic content remains. This is a new project from Ian Tregoning, engineer and producer for artists as diverse as Yello and Fela Kuti.
Now collaborating with Jaki Liebzeit, the legendary drummer from CAN, to add his endless evolving rhythms. The finished results are a hypnotic blend of industrial, classical, Krautrock and Detroit electronica. Like listening to a ‘raga in an earthquake’.
