[review of socal event]
so i had a really really really REALLY nice time at the 6 year anniversary
of public space tonight. there were plenty of groovy people, a few
exceptionally groovy people, some groovy music, some exceptionally groovy
music, some nifty sights, some exceptionally nifty visuals... and well,
just plenty of reasons to have a really really really REALLY nice time.
visuals_
amazing projections that ranged from silly, to odd, to surreal,
to sillier, to horrific-like in an odd/surreal/silly way, to abstract, to
absurd, to familiar, to what-the-fuck, to ha ha ha, to ick, to huh?, to
wow-those-are-some-really-nice-visuals.
sounds_
jose (i think?):
spun some nice, groovy, and when at its best, amazingly
lush, abstract & atmospheric music.
kid 606:
rocked 2 laptops in a much more subtle way than i am used to
seeing him -- which was nice! very nice, glitchy, soft, friendly-like
sounds over very 4 on the floor simple type beats with the occasional
sneaky bit of noise creeping through (reminding me that i really was
listening to kid606). towards the end he kinda ballooned out into a big
fat, noisey kid606 with some odd remix -- noiseyness galore! but all in
all, for those of you that think this fellow is just about the harsh and
raw sounds, i think this evening proves you wrong :). apparently the more
subtle material is representative of what is to come out on mille plateau.
we shall see? the best i have seen him -- well, perhaps other than the
time i saw him bust out some maddness when opening for fantamos (quite the
opposite of this evening).
blectum from blechdom:
if someone would have told me the $3 admission included a mad ride through
raymond scott's brain i would have been better prepared. what the fuck?
this was some serious madness in the most fun of ways. when do i get to
do it again? is there an all day pass? a stoney friend compared this to
the residents; i think he was right to some degree.. but really, it was
like a haunted house - via the brain of raymond scott.. saturday morning
cartoons a bit too early and all at once. good to see a couple of grrls
rock it up in such a sick way. still recovering, thanks.
languis:
hmmm. i would say i like exactly HALF of their music (at least the music
they displayed this evening) A LOT. they seemed to have 2 sides. the
very M.A.S./early Funkstorung/BOC/overt melodic IDM side... and then the
very droney/lush/later of sound/hint of melody&rhythm/
shoegaze-in-that-wall-of-sound-hello-god sort of way... guess which half i
liked more? :) but i think they are very good for this reason. its like,
finally a band i can see with certain friends that we can all enjoy. woo
hoo!
anyway_
it is so rare that i get excited about events and still remain so after
the fact. i thank public space for helping me achieve this feeling many
times over the years.
bed time.
forgive typos.
please.
thanks.
chris.
