[3] Mutek Moments: End to End, Techno Again

³... the creativity of the lawyers is stifling the creativity of the artists
... the world is turning upside down... ² ­ Mark Quail, lawyer, Toronto .

³... this ugly lawyer bullshit is fucking boring..² ­ Jason Forrest, aka
Donna Summer.

³So let¹s talk about something else.² ­ John Oswald

³Yah, like ?70s rock!² ­ Jason Forrest, aka Donna Summer.

That was the end of the sampling panel. From here the usual amounts of sleep
deprivation that stick to Mutek like vinyl to a hot ass begin to strip
everyone of their mental capacity to comprehend basic logic. Set theory
diminished with a rapid advance in all areas as passes ran amok in Burger
Kings rampant with disjointed, singing men... what the fuck am I rambling
about... here before Plastikman.., ears ringing still from the pounding hard
techno. I must tell you of this: this pounding hard techno. Just yesterday I
was saying: Mutek needs some pounding hard techno as well as pop. And they
did it. The division was apparent and the response was immediate at this
free cinq-a-sept. Lead on, brother, into the world of Mike Shannon and Jay
Hunsberger, and the reappearance of Montreal¹s oldskool Marc Dumais. But
also the incredibly energetic house of Daniel Gardner, aka Frivolous, who in
a chef hat, rocked the piano chords?live?in a set that damn deserves the
title?live. Yah, people playing music, all over again, here at SAT. And
people outside, well one at least, dressed in an orange Guantanamo jumpsuit,
with the noiz-kart, playing the protest beats. Shopping cart, laptop and
metal loudspeaker, why not? None other than Greyg Filastine of Post-World
Industries and ex-!Tchkung! bandmate. Good to see some spontaneous noise,
art and political force arriving in the staid Mutek crowd (and the response
was good from all quarters).

Tonight is Plastikman in this moderate weather and the expectations are high
for the sound to eclipse our past deafness and to enter the sublime world of
the meltdown. I desire it, I want it, I beg for it?and if we don¹t get it,
it will be a disappointed moment. But no doubt we will enjoy it. We will
love it. It¹s all about losing it all over again. A few might be already
tired of the acieed revival?as the Editor of De:Bug tells me?but here it
hasn¹t hit yet and we are all seeking it. Why? Because no other genre has
the alien 303. Bring it on.

These notes should not be considered verbatim... there¹s more than one of us
writing them now... falling apart at the seams...
