i attended the /bin show. it was really nice. here's a quick rundown.... it was held at a relatively small coffee house called the nervous center. the actual performances were downstairs. about 35-50 people sat intimately in the room. there were real-time [i think] visuals being made by nanodust for our viewing pleasure. kranky's pan america and 12k's shuttle358 played first. shuttle358 being the more experimental of the two. then tom steinle went on. if you haven't heard tom's work yet, I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO! [www.tomlab.de] he will be well known as a serious electronic music composer in the near future. his performance consisted of a few new songs, lasting about 30 minutes...it was in the vein of 'summer dsp' but even more developed with singing vocal snips reminding me of Wunder. while tom combines backwards tones and oval'esque clicks, he does it in such an original way that it is difficult to describe. [even as a musician myself].. all in all - a great show. thanks to mike javor for staring the /bin series. it is proving to be a great outlet for important music to be heard. jon sheffield
