Sleeping Giant – No Rest for the Eerie - Philadelphia City Paper
This week at the early part of the evening of the SNS live experiment, instead of a straight selector set, I looped some sections of certain tracks, adding my own vocal overdubs and some extra sounds using Ableton plugins and the usual vocal effect rack I use for the Saturn Never Sleeps live shows. And I pretty much speed up all the tracks, manipulating the bpm all the way through.
Tracklisting:
Subhen Chatterjee - Rhythm Express + Rucyl vocal and synth overdubs
John Maus - Keep Pushing On
Grace Jones - Hurricane (Sunset Dub) + Rucyl overdubs at the outro
Robert Koch - Feel
Nik Raicevic - Cannibis Sativa + Rucyl vocal overdubs
Kidkanevil - Space Girls
Live electronic improvisation with:
CECILIA STALIN (UK/Koop): Nu-jazz singer. You may know her track Waltz for Koop. myspace.com/ceciliastalin
DAMON BENNETT: Keyboardist extraordinaire, who did an entire set with iPad and iPhone last time he was with us.
COOLOUT: Producer and DJ. Check out his album made entirely on an Android mobile phone.
Early DJ Set by Rucyl, late DJ set by King Britt.

Ableton - Saturn Never Sleeps: A Galaxy of Sound
“Ableton Live is the wheel of our production hub and we’re the spokes,” says Saturn Never Sleeps member Rucyl, who forms the group with partner King Britt. It’s an appropriate metaphor for a project like SNS, who use multiple hardware, software, and acoustic instruments (not to mention Rucyl’s arresting voice) in their productions…(read more)

King Britt & Rucyl (Saturn Never Sleeps) – Ableton Workshop
Friday, July 29th at Dubspot, NYC
6:30 – 8:00pm

Philadelphia DJ, producer, and remixer King Britt will be touching down at Dubspot for a workshop with singer/collaborator Rucyl (roo-SILL) Mills. The two will share insights into their recording process for their debut album Yesterday’s Machine, out on their own SNS imprint in July. The bulk of the record was constructed in a live, improvised, one-take fashion, combining the duo’s intuitional musical sense. The two point to the work of avant-garde jazz revolutionary Sun-Ra as a major source of inspiration, drawing from his value in art’s of-the-moment process. Read more about King Britt’s history, as well as what Rucyl calls, “the Chakakhantroller,” a MIDI controller that she wears on her body, over on the Saturn Never Sleeps website.
