> the 'green space' show in LA last night was really quite good. > somewhat of a pretentious and small venue, but it worked out okay overall. yeah, the venue was tiny. i couldn't believe it when i walked in. > lexaunculpt: i guess our friend alex has stirred up some attention for > himself -- which i really do feel he deserves. while there is still room > for him to grow and find his place in electronic music, alex never fails > to impress me.. and i look forward to watching his progress over the new > year. this time around he really went on the dark and moody tip with some > amazing soundscapes and beats! the material he played (or some of it) may > be going to a pretty well known label... so keep your eyes out. yeah it's kind of aggravating, because those of us down here in so cal get to here the new stuff all the time, but the rest of the world has only heard the tracks off of the isophlux ep, which are great, but sound like crap when compared to the new stuff. the thing about alex is that with every new track i hear, his skills seem to have improved more than one could possibly imagine. it's like this guy is on some sort of exponential growth curve. really really good show from lexaunculpt. > richie devine: this guy is so insane (performing or not) :) first, he > had a coil shirt on. this is important. second, the music he played last > night crossed so many levels and genres -- bits of jungle, idm, noise, > hardcore?, ambient.. to be honest, this was one of the most original > performances i have ever seen. quite amazing. was only able to stay for a little of richie's set, but what i heard was friggin amazing. chris is right, he really bounced all over the place. there were times i thought the speakers were just going to explode. we should tell woody harrelson that he'll have to buy a replacement set after last night. unfortunately, i missed phoenicia's set. girlfriend was tired. oh well, at this rate, i'll only have to wait another couple of years before i get to see them in LA again.... brian http://www.rain.org/~audio
