I saw him do a tabletop guitar + modular synth set in Boston which was
pretty great. Very controlled and dynamic and it didn't outstay its
welcome. I still think anyone interested in that whole tradition of
extended techniques/tabletop/etc. guitar needs to check out Drumm's first
record on Perdition Plastics. I think him and Oren Ambarchi are the new
guys doing the most interesting work in that field these days.

I'd love to see what he does as a DJ. Does he like play booty house or
something ?
