AE_LIVE 2022－, otherwise known as the twentytwentytwo tour[1], is a compilation of seven soundboard recordings taken from live shows performed throughout 2022. The first batch was released on August 10th, 2023.

History

On March 9th, 2022, the twentytwentytwo tour was announced.[2]

During the Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022, Sean answered a few questions regarding the live material after having performed the first show of the twentytwentytwo tour. The tour was initially planned to be held in 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the tour. Sean mentioned that on his end, he spent the time reworking the back end, getting interested in MC (multi-channel audio in Max), physical modelling[3] (such as Modalys), and scratching (as seen on Gescom's AMKS_1).[4] During a mixlr stream back in March 30th, 2020, Sean shared snippets from their jams folder, which included the live material at that time, showing how long they've been developing the material. The end product was Sean noting that, on his side, he had about three and a half hours of total material prepared that may or may not be shown.[5]

The first show of the tour was performed at Primavera in Barcelona on the 3rd of June. In the AMA, Sean mentioned that that particular show did not go well, as they were struggling to negotiate the rights to the soundboard from Primavera before messing up the recording, meaning it was left off the release.[6]

On October 4th, 2022, "AE_LIVE_HELSINKI_110922_LTD" was released early exclusively to attendants of the show due to technical issues during the show.[7] Small glitches such as pops and audio dropouts appeared early into the show and got progressively more distracting as the show went on. A possible explanation is that the venue's poor subwoofer setup, exacerbated by the set's use of heavy sub-bass, experienced a coil short circuit leading to the malfunctions.[8][9] The soundboard was sent out as is without mastering, and was later re-released with proper mastering.

On August 7th, 2023, Warp sent out an announcement to sign up for to the newsletter. The following day, AE_LIVE 2022－ was officially announced, and the first batch of shows from Milan 2022 to Turin 2022 was released individually and as a compilation on the 10th. The hyphen added to the end of the title indicated the possibility of future sets being added at a later date. In a Mastodon post in late 2023, Sean gave an update that the material was up to "about 4 hours long so far and growing steadily." [10]

Sean posted multiple demos on Mastodon showcasing bits of the live material. In December 2022, Sean posted two max demos to Mastodon; one of the 10th and one on the 15th, which were both bits of segments #20 and #22. In 2023, two more demos were posted, with July 26th's "Markov Chain" and 16th December's "Fuckery"[11] for segments #29 and #34.

The main equipment used for the tour are two M1[3] Macs running Max/MSP, Kenton Killamix controllers, Apogee Symphony Desktop, Apogee Element 24, and MOTU M2.[12][13][14] In 2024, they got four custom-made Killamix Minis.[15]

So my patch was using about 75, 80% towards the end of last year or the year before, whenever it was I got it, and then, yeah, I got the M1 and then it was just flying! 30%, just flying! Just absolutely insane! So there's no turning back now I'm fucked because I'm filling it up already. Loads of Live physmod things, and things that were a bit, you know, expensive. So yeah, I love it. Just amazing, kind of a little bit too much if anything, and the disking out speeds are amazing. The transitions are all super tight. The timing's super tight. All the control rate stuff is super tight. So yeah, I think if you're using Max and you've got an M1, you're basically living the dream at this point. it's just insane."
  4. ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "Basically when COVID hit, I had a lot of time on my hands to rebuild a lot of it. So it's, yeah, it’s a lot of it you wouldn't even notice because a lot of it's just porting things to Gen that didn't need to be ported but just because I wanted a bit more control, and that led me off on loads of tangents because once you start building basic things like oscillators, you get a bit mad with all the options. So yeah, that happened and then I got heavily into MC, and then that happened. And then I built a lot more [physical] modeling stuff, and I did that scratching thing that we used on that Gescom thing that we've done about just over a year ago. And then did that and then, and then, yeah the set sort of grew out of all that tech basically. So sty listically, it's not that far off what we've been doing for the last few years because I think we're still in the same sort of place mentally. But, tech wise, the underlying, the kind of back end stuff is all fresh."
  5. ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "[...] I mean some, they will share elements and the probably, I mean in all likelihood it'll be mostly similar material but there's a bunch of material that's not aired yet. That's because we've had too long to work on this fucking set, right, so. Least my part of the set is, I don't know, like three and a half hours of stuff, so I don't know how much of it will end up using."
  6. ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022. "[...] the problem was with Primavera, they were trying to get rights for everything, right? So they were trying to get broadcast, they were trying to record it, you know? Obviously we're thinking about releasing them, so we didn't want to okay it. We ended up fucking up the recording anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered."

  12. ↑ Sean Twitch AMA, July 2022. "Can u describe the live setup of the last gigs, laptop, controllers, souncard, thx I mean you know, two, I mean the latest ones are just two M1 Macs, Kenton Killamix controllers, two interfaces; I've got an Apogee Symphony Desktop, Rob's using the Apogee Element 24. The mixer is like a little Mackie Onyx12 channel thing just because it fits on a plane easily, and it's easier to get around. And it's replaceable if it breaks, you know, it's not, we're not relying on some esoteric mixer being found by the promoter at the last minute, so. Because that's always a consideration, you know? There's only the controllers really that be hard to source. So we often carry spares like if we're on a tour bus, we'll have spares of the controllers we’ll source."

  14. ↑ Hanalgig AMA, July 2022. "Tebbisimo: [...] What audio interface you using on the live sets ATM? [...] XH HX: i'm using apogee symphony desktop lately which i really rate but before that was using apogee element 24 (also good but harder to get now) and before that was using RME ADI2 converter (had to stop since apple borked the optical port but i loved that thing). i also got a MOTU M2 which is mad value for ESS sabre converters if u want something cheapish"
