Squarepusher live in London, 26 October 2006

Squarepusher live at Electric Proms at Electric Ballroom, London, 26 October 2006.

This concert video I believe was originally recorded by the BBC. It was a long time ago. I don’t remember fer sure.

The video production was obviously done by a pro crew- multiple cameras, jib/crane shots and tracking shots, glitch editing. Really slick all the way around.

But a couple other things baffled me. First, it was posted super small size- 400 x 224. No doubt they’d originally recorded in 1080, so why post something so ridiculously, unwatchably small?

Second, the audio mix was absolute rubbish, even though it, too, was professionally recorded, with big stereo sound and stereo audience mics, like the way I do it. But whoever mixed it thought it best to drop all of the low end out of the mix so that it sounded like some shitty 1970s transistor radio.

I was reminded of it when one of the songs popped up in my car the other day, which prompted me to do a full remaster of it. Luckily, I still had the original video tucked away in one of my hard drives.

So I grabbed the audio, pumped some healthy low end back into it, and gave it the usual treatment of fixing levels, smoothing out all the rough edges and whatever else it needed. This is the audio you hear here.

Even though the video is ant-sized, I went ahead and re-synced my new audio remaster to the video. I’ll try to post it to YouTube, but they’re so draconian about copyright issues, I doubt they’ll allow it.

Remastered using Ocenaudio and Presonus Studio One 4, with Izotope and FabFilter plug ins, April 2019.

Thanks for listening. Brian.
