yes. i just saw matmos and lesser and marumari the other night doing their
stuff and matmos has got a coolass method. lesser too -- DJ CD player skipper
breakbeats, heavy scary, changing effects.  matmos : sampling themselves on
the fly, improvised sound effects, about 1/2 ambient and 1/2 beaty, part
electronic robot music and part acoustic. anyone who can still check out this
tour should. really good show. the one in providence was in this little art
space. marumari = slightly BoC, slightly global goon. he did a computer set.
oh and we recorded it to MD so maybe when i have a working computer MP3s will
turn up, tho we'll ask the artists first.

self promotion. august 5th with the toneburst peeps we kracfive brothahs are
doing a show in gloucester, mass. www.toneburst.com has details. we are
planning some good nonpresequenced stuff. it is billed as Eva Frick, which is
Colongib, Miragliuolo & Zaharia (two good friends and i). Hrvatski is playing
there too. go see lexaunculpt/kid606 in providence at fort thunder the night
before (august 4th). not the same night =).
