If I could do it again, I think I'd prefer to have been in the middle of the crowd up near the center. I think the intensity wasn't expected, so I didn't have as much fun during the show as I thought I would. I'm really glad I brought earplugs, because I'd be 100% deaf right now otherwise. I had no idea a couple of those L-Event tracks could sound so sinister. I heard a lot of Aphex Twin influence, but it had some Autechre-like aspects as well.Īutechre's show was intense, a total onslaught from start to finish. He struck me as sort of a combo of Warp artists. I'd never heard him before, but I'm definitely going to check his stuff out. :)Ĭygnus' set was totally unexpected and really awesome. There was a guy and his wife immediately to my right. I was a few rows back on the left side, and by the middle of the show I was up against the stage. Jon, great way of describing the show! I wasn't wearing anything obvious, but I think we may have been standing right next to each other at one point. Price was 30 bucks, 2 color options, with identical layout/design. The guy selling the merch even said this was the first time he could think of where there wasn't at least an XL. WARNING: They only had small, medium, and large for the t-shirts. I'll post it tomorrow when I get home to the computer.
One of the security guards took it back from her, but she got a picture of it. Obviously, there was no setlist, but my wife almost managed to get the itinerary. If I had to be more specific, Gantz_Graf and L-event made a beautiful love child on-stage tonight. It definitely sounds like a logical progression and extension of L-event. We stepped back a foot and had a perfect diagonal view of Rob Hall, we were about 3 feet right of Cygnus, and 2-3 feet left of Rob during Autechre, leaning on the stage.Īutechre's set was otherworldly. We were, in fact, right in front of Rob's (Ae) speaker/monitor. We were front row, just barely left of center. The first time he did his little point and thumbs up, he was pointing right at my wife and I. He had great crowd interaction, and it was fun to watch him headbang around. Cygnus absolutely killed it, and was my wife's favorite of the night. I didn't mind that Rob Hall played for an extra ~25 minutes at the beginning he cut his 15 minute set before Autechre short later on. Were you first in line wearing the PHM hoodie? My wife and I were behind you.
