EARBUDDY PREMIERES VIRE'S LATEST VIDEO "HUMAN CONTACT"
"Human Contact" ::
“His latest single,
“Human Contact”, has an old-school ’90s electronic feel to it, but it’s the
video where you see Wilson drumming like a madman that’s most impressive.” -

Dystopian dance music
on the verge of eroding into digital noise, also known as VIRE. Now imagine
this chaos coming from a single musician, a live drummer playing all the beats
and triggering all the samples in real time, surrounded by sweaty moving
bodies.
VIRE began with a
single idea, to create a live solo electronic drumming performance act. Phil
Wilson, who after years of playing in indie rock bands, custom built drums to
accommodate the idea, and incorporated a drum-triggering machine that pieces of
the songs could be loaded into. Wilson then cues parts and sections live during
performances.
His latest video
takes you through what appears to be a psychology experiment where two people
are in the same room taking a video game test in which they have to meet in the
game. It's a pretty cool concept.

video for "Human Contact" now.
