sorry, "i dont mean this as a personal attack," but re-read the post -- he
played VERY abstract stuff that i liked -- and i dropped that sentence
somewhat jokingly. we all know jesus could not afford a laptop. those
are for suburban spoiled rich kids.
here, again, is the whole of what i said about the kit clayton
performance:
"kit clayton: i finally found some other folks that were into this set as
much as i was. i think it was one of the best performances of the night,
and one of the best sets i have heard in sometime. while some peoples
dismissed it as dsp wankery and improv, it was one of the first monents in
a long time that i was completely sucked into music and able to 100% tune
out the crowd and distractions around me and just get immersed in the
thick of things. not too many beats. lots of layered sound. i suspect
this is what heaven would soundlike if jesus had a laptop (computer, of
course he has a laptop). i think this is a good moment to make by
obligatory comparison to coil. it was very coil (like the layers of sound
stuff they do -- new and old). i will one up this comparison and compare
something to nurse with wound later on. fun!"
basically, the set was much more of a noise ("dsp wankery") set than a
techno set. and i loved that. i suspect jesus would too.
but for the record, the kit clayton "mimic and the model" 12" is AMAZING
(IMO). and one other time i saw mr clayton, his set was more structed,
techno oriented, much like the beloved chain reaction type stuff, and i
loved it!
cheers,
chris.
