vote robot

[bob maynard <fleshlike@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello gang.

this past summer, i had the pleasure of attending the second *Transmissions* 
festival, held at the cat's cradle in chapel hill, North Carolina. really 
great three-day fest, dominated by the presence of kevin drumm , fennesz, 
pita, d grubbs, kim cascone (even a rare performance by john fahey!).  I 
joined the m-sound list a few months later, so i'm not sure if it's been 
covered/reviewed yet.

anyway, the real sleeper (pardon the cannes-speak) was a couple of geeky 
guys from rural Canada, called Vote Robot. I only caught like 15 minutes of 
their set, but they set themselves apart from the rest of the lappie-toters 
with their organic, *real instruments* approach to microsound construction. 
It was a memorable performance, which is saying a lot considering they were 
sandwiched between Mego heavies.

so, has anyone heard of Vote Robot, or know about their music?

piggers,
BOB maynard
