MUTEK : Day Four and Five

I rarely get this excited about live shows these days. Don’t get me wrong, I love to see the artists perform. But with the bad sound system, rowdy crowd, and god awful hours, it’s difficult for the event to compete with my studio speakers. But Resonant Forms is a whole new deal, boys and girls. [...]

I always show up early. Especially at the club. I like to watch the atmosphere evolve, the vibe morph, and the dance floor slowly cover its shameful nudity with a layer of sweaty bodies. Tonight, I’m at The Kinetic Playground – a Chicago venue, which usually showcases live music from blues and jazz to rock and [...]
