A peak-time set can hold space for both momentum and the feel of a live performance. On Invaders, Qu’est-ce que c’est?, BEFORE MIDI work with material recorded live and rearranged with vinyl play in mind. It’s an approach that connects the spontaneity of a recording session with the more deliberate demands of a DJ set.
BEFORE MIDI is the composer duo of DJ and producer Viziale and multidisciplinary composer Barabbah. Their working method places the original performance alongside the decisions made in rearranging it: the record’s defining tension is between the immediacy of a live take and the structure imposed afterwards.
