hes the only person ive seen to use a vocoder in this way. he runs an oscillator through it and has the key dialed in so when he changes pitch by twisting the knob its always in tune (i saw a video where he explained part of his setup somewhere). creative. dude kills it

delnuggets The base of his board has always been a microphone into a digitech Whammy then that signal gets run through an oscillator into the vocoder. I think its where he picked up that hand wiggle thing he does when he gets really into it.

It's strange watching Dan perform without an audience. The social aspect is such an important part to his music.

I saw him around 2012, I think? A relatively small crowd and with two drummers on stage on either side of Dan, essentially playing the same thing. The whole audience was on cloud nine. He handed out lyric sheets for Wham City and everyone sang along. To this day, it was the greatest live performance I have ever been a part of.

Was thinking same. It was nuts when I saw him live.

The energy he puts behind those vocals, I never knew. The album is polished, so there is no way to know that he is really belting it out. This was cool to see. It made When I Was Done Dying so much more powerful.

0:22 When I Was Done Dying 4:37 Feel the Lightning 18:15 Improv 20:45 Learning to Relax

I've absorbed this set sooooo many times... "learning to relax" has so much fucking emotion to it ❤️😭

I’ve loved Dan Deacon for over 10 years. And he never fails to perform in a way that makes you aware of the fact that, despite whatever sounds he uses, it always feels like a real human opening up right in front of you. If you haven’t actually read his lyrics for these songs, you need to. Some of them haunt me still.

Fun fact: When I Was Done dying sounds different live bc its literally impossible to sing it. The studio version is multiple takes stitched together, and trying to sing in that cadence for as long will make you pass out.

@jackdaone6469

Yeah. I imagined covering it with my old band, and I figured what we’d do is trade vocals every couple of lines to maintain the cadence without anyone passing out.

love it when music makes me cry joyfully.

I saw Dan support Future islands last year in Glasgow and he was absolutely amazing

Spiderman of the rings was my introduction to mr Dan Deacon & 20 years later I'm still in love

Never seen a man beside him use the vocoder in this way, it was a good experience!

I can't wait to go see the show in portland 4-19, gonna be bicycle day celebration for surrrrrrrre

I bought some acid from Dan Deacon once thinking it was mali cause he said it was. before he handed it over he donned a stethoscope, checked my heart, looped it into a fat beat, then told me to close my eyes, lean my head back, and open my mouth. I've been saved ever since.

this is funny. I've seen maybe like 90% of all the KEXP shows. but I can't remember single one that went into real improvisation on that spot. Everybody kind of wanted to stay cool and professional.. It will be interesting to see more people step out of their regular setups. Not that I prefer improvisation over the sets but thanks to this video I realised that it was something I've been missing here.

I love that while he has his own distinct sound and rhythm (which I have blatantly copied in my own music), his music has evolved and matured over time. I think the lyrical side has especially grown in prominence recently.

Woah, wow. I didn't know he was a one-man-band. Some incredible.

This is the first time I've seen dazzle camo used on a synth/controller rig. That's... kind of an interesting idea.
