Really good, indeed. I got to talk w/ Lee for a brief moment and am really overwhelmed even hours later. heh

Oh and also. There was this O'Rourke tape comission piece that was played on saturday at 12pm (fuck if I ever had trouble waking up... but i live nearby so)
that was pretty awesome, maybe 30 mins long. Played from cd (?) in a dark room with excellent audio equipment.

yes Leah and I had great fun at the show here last night--seemed to go very well--packed crowd, etc---sorry to any who couldn't get it--we tried to arrange a second show but the museum couldn't handle that at the last minute. anyway thanks to everyone who came out. we didn't get to see much of the rest of the festival but what we did see was excellent. We heard Tony Conrad's performance(s) were amazing (as they usually are), also Purient, Giffoni and Skaters. Gert-Jan Prins' set with Bas Von Kookwijk was very cool. New discovery is Finnish girl Laura Naukkarinen's band Lau Nau (whom Tony C sat in with at one of the late-evening events). Also among the installations was Scotswoman Zoë Irvine's table where they were stitching together bits of found-on-the-streets crumpled old cassette tape into new compositions, highlighting the noise and dirt picked up along the way. Rad! About Jim's piece, "Out With The Old"---for now it exists only as an 'exclusive' on the Avanto CD that was published for the festival---billed as his first new tape music piece in 5 years---i'm sure it's availalbe online somewhere for anyone who is interested...

the other tracks are by tony conrad and ralf wehowzcky (or however you spell it). great stuff!

as for the rest of the gigs on the festival, the saturday night was probably the most amazing, tomutonttu, the skaters and prurient... mindblowing!

Hi Lee.
Your solo stuff is so amazing!
Thanks for info!
Pity that you play yr. solo gigs in Europe mostly in Nedherlands and Belgium, but if it must be like that, I'm gonna have to get there sometimes. Want to see you live!
Keep on rocking!
