The brilliant Solipsistic Nation podcast has featured Speak Onion in their recent show about people who use iphones/ipads/ipods to make electronic music. This show features various artists who use Apple’s mobile hardware in different ways to make all kinds of electronic music. The last 10 minutes or so of the show are devoted to our boy, Speak Onion, including an interview and his live set from last January, Speak Onion at Brecht Forum, January 19, 2009. Listen to Solipsistic Nation No. 193 right here.
Those of you know who’ve seen SO’s ruinous live styles may know that all those beats and loops are coming from an iphone running Beatmaker. They may get ripped apart afterwards, but that’s where they start. So go grab the new episode of Solipsistic Nation, and subscribe to their podcast while you’re there, because there’s plenty of new and awesome electronic music coming out of there every week.
