anyone see the Maher Shalal Hash Baz performance "blues de jour" for le
weekend a while back?
I find it interesting that he used laptops in the show, mainly because his
music is starange fragile instrumental and vocal work, but he (Tori Kudo)
says he incorporated the laptop as a means of working against a closed system
and had microphones in the audience and altered their sounds and projected
them back to the audience, interesting, similar to what Achim Wollscheid did
in Chicago (tried to do, the system didn't work) a while back.
A fine artist, wish I could see him live...
