Afturmath live at What Hackers Yearn 2025

I was honored to play the closing live set for the main stage at What Hackers Yearn 2025 (WHY2025). It was great to see the crowd dancing alongside live lasers and flames by my friend Dimitri Modderman aka DM Laser and Licht. Despite some technical issues, I’m happy with what I was able to play and excited to tweak things for my next show 🙂. Thanks to Erik Heskes for the intro, all the volunteers at Area42 who built and ran the stage, the volunteers from Chaos Computer Club who handled video and audio recording and production for the live broadcast. Special thanks to Maggiepop for the management and support! Most importantly, a huge thank you to the attendees of WHY who commit their time & creativity to build such a magical event. I'm looking forward to the next one! This video and audio recording are creative commons licensed and provided courtesy of C3VOC.

This was my first hacker camp in Europe, and I will certainly be attending and trying to play at more of them.

I connected a cable wrong on my MIDI panel which meant no sync on my main lead synth for the first half of the set, Circuit Mono Station. Because of that, I cut out the first 4 minutes where I was troubleshooting while playing the intro song. I synced it manually by ear and continued on. I was also missing half of the audio for another synth, the main lead for the second half of the set. During setup a cable came unplugged inside my rack, and I missed it during sound check. I improvised with the CMS and 303 instead. Midway through, I also lost audio from the Moog Subsequent 37 bass synth and had to copy its sequence to my Moog Voyager RME and recreate the bass sounds live. That was fun. I rebooted the Sub37 and got it to come back to life. I think the "issue" was actually that I recorded automation which silenced the Sub37 and forgot about it when I transitioned into an improv-heavy part of the set. Sometimes playing live can be quite a challenge, especially in a condensed time frame. I think this was the 18th time I have performed live in the past 12 months, and I learn from every performance. :)
