When @throttleclark@rivalconsoles and @sebastianmullaert walked off stage at the Brighton Dome last March, it felt more than a show. That one was a true threshold.
Three artists who had never met. Two and a half hours, in-the-round. Music that formed for one night and will never exist again.We werenโt expecting any of it to outlive the room, but we were lucky enough ot have @ableton filming the whole experience. The performance, woven together with conversations from all three artists about what it means to walk on stage with no plan, no rehearsal, and no agreement other than to listen.
Endless thanks again to Clark, Rival Consoles and Sebastian, to David and the entire Brighton Dome crew, to @spencer.rose.art for the stunning visuals, @debbiejclare@gregeden Robert, Ella and to Ralf and the team at Ableton for putting this movie together with such care.
The film is live today and we hope you like it!

Inside the brand new @ableton documentary about our @brighton_dome concert with @throttleclark@rivalconsoles and @sebastianmullaert we open up the technical thread that runs underneath a @circleof.live performance. The quiet architecture that lets the artists drop concepts and step into the unknown without losing each other along the way.

A quick tip for feeling music, not thinking about it. Watch @sebastianmullaert layer up loops from a recorded synth jam, then form new patterns simply by adjusting the balance.
