i can't comment on supercollider, but lidell tore the
roof off when i saw him at nesh in los angeles. he
was sending very metallic, roughed-up hip hop beats
flying off into hectic breaky chaos and then reining
them back in (sort of) as he rhymed about who knows
what. it wasn't easy to make out the actual words, so
much.
the feeling, however, was completely there. he quite
simply bounced shit and managed to drop bits of damn
soulful singing in the process. at times, the quality
was that of a more straight-up or seasoned r&b
vocalist coming in over a crackling, overamped
shortwave radio, maybe, and you had, say, a head full
of ether. don't get me wrong, he wasn't crooning. i
mean, the pace was quick.
the reality, of course, was that it was an very amped
electronics jockey hollering a unique brand of
fx-drenched funk into a loud pa, but i needed some
kind of comparison. happily, there was also much
distortion and the more-or-less rhythmic use of
feedback as he repeatedly jammed the microphone into
the monitor as punctuation to his dancing(?). not to
mention the fact that his beatboxing was spot on.
all this said, there were several other great
performances. lidell's jumped out at me because i'd
been sent into such a blissful orbit by dntel
immediately before. the only unfortunate part of the
night was that lusine's set was altogether too short.
