Liquid Conglomerate Presence Cycle documents MSHR’s legendary light-audio hardware performances from a period of frequent touring circa 2015-2019.

The crystalized structures of their live systems are presented here through a series of studio recordings made during a residency at Sonoscopia, Porto. This album, like their live performances, contains a series of improvisations using MSHR’s unique analog electronic systems.

Their live sets are known to be strikingly visual for their use of gestural interfaces and light-audio feedback, bringing the audience into an immersive undulating mindscape.

These recordings capture that synaesthetic quality while emphasizing the aural dimension of the work in a way not possible in a live setting. MSHR compares improvisation to moving stones in a river, interacting with a landscape to shift the flow of its elements. These recordings capture the sonic dimension of raw electricity surging through a morphing constellation of analog computer chips, flashing bulbs and extreme (in)human
