Artificial Live by Bëker

I had this crazy idea about releasing a live album. When the pandemic struck, like many, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I eventually wrote yet another album, and decided to release it as a live stream. Although it didn't work as well as I had planned, the material went out into the internet. I wanted to get a better version so I recorded the album again once each for the next 2 days. Technology failed me twice, but finally May 19th all cameras worked and I had the worst performance in several weeks. At that point I had to take down the set-up and was out of time. So I was left with an OK show from the 17th and 2 cameras, a very good show the 18th and only 1 camera, a very poor show with 3 cameras. I decided I would use a bit of an cheat for the video using most of the performance from the 17th, hopefully syncing a third camera (from the performance on the 19th) and a bit of editing. For audio I could use the performance on the 18th. While not flawless, it is very good and that is the unedited version that is here.

A solo project, that has been percolating for a long time (longer than one has fingers and toes). The madness is perhaps the manic side of Bëker's disfunctional bi-polar personality. Binary Drama is the first of this branding, written mostly in 2007, through the worst of times and later the best of times. It was a lazy project the refused to finish itself until now.
