Thirteen Keys by Heatsick




Triple Canopy show

Summary: A live set by <a href="http://perpendicularrain.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Heatsick</a>, the solo moniker of Berlin-based musician Steven Warwick, recorded on August 6 at 6 a.m. at CockTail d'Amore c/o Chez Jacki. The performance marked the release of Heatsick's debut 12" single, <a href="http://cocktaildamore.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><em>Dream Tennis</em></a> (CockTail d'Amore), and features a version of the title track as well as "Tertiary." Using a Casio keyboard, processed vocals, drum machines, and real-time loops, Heatsick creates saturated washes of tones and entropic loops, focusing on the movement from repetition to abstraction. Heatsick employs a rich palette, with references spanning musique concrete, psychedelia, and early Chicago house mixtapes, all with a minimal analogue setup. The LP <em>Intersex</em> is forthcoming from <a href="http://www.pan-act.com/" target="_blank">Pan</a>.
