taken from the monolake website:
Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat and me aka Monolake were both booked for a festival in spain. Due to some communication glitches, the organizers assumed we both will perform together. We told them this would not be the case. However, when we arrived at the festival, all flyers and posters and line-up sheets still stated that we are going to play a set together and there was not the slightest hint that this could not be the case. So, after some discussions, we decided to give the audience what the audience would expect...
In my article about Live performance, I wrote that I prefer to play in the middle of the audience because there I have full control over the sound and I can be as close as possible to the audience. The PA at that festival sounded quite weird, and therefor Scott and me tried to convince the organizer that we'd like to play in the middle of the audience. However, the organizer quite brutally ignored our wish. So, we ended up on stage. Which was good for us, because the monitors sounded far better then the main PA. The recording of the set, made by the incompetent PA guys for a soft drink manufacturer, which was a sponsor of the event, is mono. Deadbeat versus Monolake in mono?!? Nice deep reverbs and dubby echoes, all that lovely spaces - gone. I assume the PA itself was mono too, and only our monitoring was in stereo.... The file I got from the festival also has been limited and loudness maximized, all perfect things to apply to a recording if you want to ruin it sonically.
But, we had quite some fun playing this set, despite the absurdities we had to deal with.
Technically, the Monolake versus Deadbeat performance was just Scott running Ableton Live on his computer, and me running Live on mine. We both mixed parts of our individual sets to create something new. Both computers were not synced via MIDI, we just typed in the same tempo and occasionally restarted one of the sets to re-sync.
This set is one hour long, and it is the free track of the month for August and September.

Wow, according to Monolake's vision on "free" music this post violates his rights. I couldn't find this post in the archives but all others have:
