Were you up on the balcony? From where I was (on the
balcony to the side) I could see what both Plaid and
Squarepusher were doing. Plaid had this drum pad
thing that they were banging on in addition to the
stuff they were doing on the laptops and knobby
hardware units.
Squarepusher had a stack of DATs and a small board
with a row of sliders that controlled all kinds of
effects, filters, etc. He was tweaking the hell out
of things with those effects. That wicked cacophony
that opened the show right before he started in with
My Red Hot Car was just him adjusting that effects
controller. He was using the thing throughout the set
to add wierd noisy breaks and transitions and was
doing it all in perfect time to the beat.
BTW, while there was a lot of pot smoke, there was the
very distinct odor of BO. I recognized it as soon as
I stepped into the room.
