Dasha Rush Patch Notes

Over the past 15 years, Russianborn Dasha Rush has become one of technos most interesting multidisciplinary artists. On record, she has explored liminal dream states on 2015s Sleepstep for RasterNoton, while her live audiovisual performances have examined the continent of Antartica and, on 2019s Aurora Cerebralis, the pathways of the human brain. In this episode of Patch Notes, Rush records a 30minute performance in her studio that covers the full range of her musical style, moving from bleepy, minimalistic techno through warmer dancefloor sounds before finishing on an emotive ambient note. The performance makes use of a number of modern classics: Vermona DRM MK2, Roland AIRA TR8 and TR08 for rhythm, as well as Elektrons Octatrack and Digitakt for additional percussion and samples.
