Torso Electronics presents a live session recorded at ikii, an intimate listening space for sound and art in Berlin.
In this episode, Jack Savidge presents a set that sits between ambient texture and syncopated rhythm, moving through warm, playful, and low-pressure dance floor forms.
The T1 is used as a playable drum sequencer, shaping rhythmic patterns with controlled randomness and live variation. The S4 acts as a deep processing and effects instrument, receiving drums, synths, and samples from the rest of the setup. With its four tracks and modulation, it becomes the centre for routing, feedback, and sonic transformation.
For this session, the computer plays samples and clocks the setup. Drums come from the MFB Tanzbär, while the Elektron Analog Four provides a familiar and expressive synth voice. Everything is mixed through the Teenage Engineering TX-6, with the Endorphin.es Golden Master used to keep the final output clean and balanced.
Rather than following a fixed structure, Jack builds small scenarios from a few elements that work together, then plays with them in real time. The session leaves room for accidents, surprises, and live problem-solving, letting the performance find its own shape as it unfolds.
The result is immersive, warm, and rhythmically curious in a set that feels both textural and playful, with a subtle pull towards the dance floor.
