Re: [microsound] DEMF highlight

[will soderberg <wsoderberg@xxxxxxxx>]

i caught a few hours on a wet sunday afternoon...kevin reynolds, maersk &
todd sines were about the best of what i heard...but did seem to be doing
lots of beat, which i imagine they had to cuz of the crowd
expectations...sines did a great job, and held the interest of the crowd &
myself in the most creative way of the limited glimpse of the demf that i
had...

wish i had caught kit...
