For the record, this was the New Forms Festival "glitch & granular" night
which I curated last August. Check out the website:
http://www.newformsfestival.com

The night also featured mr Mitcheroo Akiyorama, Been Neeveeled and some guy
who looked like me with a ridiculous cowboy hat playing with soundartist
ssiess.

On the other hand, I kind of think that Deupree and Chartier's outdoor Laika
performance was superbly neat and weird. You couldn't hear it very well --
but do you ever? Kind of Cage, eh?

best, tobias
