mind1Spiral - the 1 is silent
April 2 and 3, 2005
The first ‘true’ mindSpiral concert was a pair of shows at the Fiske in early April 2005.
-
Giles Reaves – Nashville, TN – keyboards, computers, and sequencers
-
Mike Metlay – Boulder, CO – keyboards, reverb textures, vocals
-
Darwin Grosse – Golden, CO – hardware and software rhythms
-
John DuVal – Portland, OR – guitar and loopers, Fist Of God (a huge Serge Modular synth)
The shows were received rapturously and were eventually turned into an album: the 1 is silent, now available on CD Baby, contains an edited set list with the best of the performances. (The album’s webpage also has more data about mindSpiral itself.)
​
No track replacements or overdubs were made; the album contains songs that were not harmed beyond repair by mistakes during the live performance, in their entirety, unedited.
