anyone know the tracks these guys were thowing down.. and what kinda of equipment were they using?

the only way i could explain it to my friends was that they were on magic music machines

Well, I didn't get a chance to see them up close when I was there, but from the pics that LKD took, it seems they had the following to work with:

Nord Lead (Keyboard with nice LFOs and knobs to mess with the sound in real-time)

Akai MPC Sampler - has square pads where they can trigger any sound/sample they have programmed..

Tonnes of Effects (eg. A yamaha guitar pedal hooked up through a little mini-mixer on top of the Nord Lead, probably some more stuff in rack-mounts that we can't see

Mixing Console - (to pump all the audio from the rest of the gear through)

Laptop - Probably with either sequencing software (like Cubase or Logic) or maybe using Ableton Live or Propellerheads Reason (Just guessing; there could be many other options)

.. and obviously live vocals...

All this combined and orchestrated to provide live dynamic music. I don't know any of Infusion's tracks (I will have to find their music) so I don't know if what they were playing that night was pre-fabricated or composed on the spot.









All in all, a wicked set -- I so wanna do that some day (Anyone interested in starting one up with me? )
