asg/all,
 the night was really amazing, Shuttle 358 started out with a couple of
tracks of thick moving granular cloud pieces, very crisp microsound work.
and then moved into deep ambient works, slow steady beats and think lulls.
really, really great work! Dan informed me that the first couple of tracks
are from a CD that is coming out on 12k later this year, i dont remember
what he said it was going to be called but watch the 12k site for it.

Murcof's set was unbelievable, it was easily one of the best sets i have
seen in years! he started with a heavy dub-esque track, super clean! his set
was full classic murcof sounds and samples beautifully flowing, each lull in
his set was met with applause from the audience, ending with a drone track
of processed strings that was really bass heavy and a perfect why to close
the set. the thing that really amazed me was how clean his set was, it was
really crisp, if you ever get a chance to see Murcof make sure you do, also
he said after the set that the first track is coming out on a EP that will
be released on the Leaf label soon.

Electric Company performed along side another artist (i cant remember what
project he was from) together they created a combination of digital noise
and catchy beats with sporadic breaks in classic tigerbeat6 style, really
fun stuff. they were both laughing throughout the set so they must have
enjoyed it as well.

i dont review my own work, so im going to stop here, i felt the entire night
was a huge success and that all of the audio went together nicely.
