This is what Hunter Hunt-Hendrix had to say about Liturgy’s upcoming tour… LOL

[Guitarist] Bernard [Gann] and I are touring in February as a two piece with electronics— live guitars with Ableton and Max/MSP tracks producing synth and burst beats, along with different sorts of ringing sample loops. We’re working with the compositions in their rawest form and instantiating them in a different way. The idea is to purify the burst beat, to purge it of vestigial features relating to the blast beat. To do that we’re recreating it in the context of high-bpm hardcore techno. The percussion is stripped down to a distorted kick sample oscillating between tempos that define gabber, hardstyle, extratone, so on, pulsing in relation to the harmonies. There will be other live configurations throughout the year, with different arrangements of the existing material. But we’re not doing too much touring in 2012. The main thing is writing a new record and then putting together an ensemble to play the music live.
