First, a small one, I went to see and hear Farmer's manual last
evening. In a short sentence, it was horribly interresting ... At
leat there was some Visual to display on the screen ( see below )
and even if the equipment mis-functionned at some point ( or was
it a fake breakdown ? ) it was fun to watch and quite hypnotic.
Does anyone know what software they used ?
Friday night's Chain Reaction was cool, but I have a bit of
a mix feeling about it.
I arrives at around 21:40, and looked like Monolake was already
playing for some time, I thing I head him for about 40 minutes, but
it was very nice, could recognize pieces from Interstate and
from "Hong Kong", but his show was a bit "nonchalant" ( in french )
seems like he was having problem... when he finished his set,
the system kept playing, and he had to run up and close
everything.
After a small pause, two guys came up and started spining, I assume
it was DJ rene and DJ pete ( Substance and Vainqueur ), one of then
was actually spinning and adding effects, while the other one picked
the vinyls ( and sometime played with the effects ). They played a
varied mix of hard Chain Reaction type music, some deep Dub, sounded
like
some jammin'Unit mixed in with Maurizio and some funky groovy latino
bits and pieces ( not long but was fun ).
I left at around 1:30AM, and did Scion Played ? before Monolake
or after I left ?
The visual sucked, they sucked big time, I don't know who was
in charge, but they sucked, they had about 4 different types of
projection on the screen and they were ordinary; moving circles
squares and line, ...
Max.
P.S. Anyone went to see/hear Scanner Saturday ? any comments ?
