Re: [microsound] Janek Schaefer US tour dates +

hey all -

i had the good fortune to be able to go to this event on the 4th here 
in NYC. all the performers were excellent.

i had never seen janek perform before - and was quite impressed. his 
set was oceanic and quite relaxing. as he said "it sounds like 
glacers of ice". he performs using (amongst other things) a two armed 
turntable he built himself. if you are in the area for any of his 
remaining gigs, you owe it to yourself to go. you won't be 
disappointed.

taylor's set sounded like a hot august night in lousiana. perfect for 
the weather we've been having around here lately. absolutely 
beautiful. afterward i got the chance to speak to taylor. what a 
gentleman he is. additionally, taylor is playing this thursday in CA, 
and if you are in the area, you owe it to your self to go to see him 
as well.

Michael Schumacher & Tim Barnes set was quite unique. a one gentleman 
on percussion and the other on ty-book. the controlled chaos and 
entropy were abundant but to over whelming. they played quite well 
off of each other, and for me, the performance was riveting.

unfortunately mr. chartier had an injury and was unable to attend the evening.

all in all (with the exception of the funky feet smell) it was a great night.

cheers
