[NewMusic] Mats and his Weevil electronic sax

[jacob felix heule]

At the 7/31 1510 show (Jorrit's improv pool), the Lyricon playing...
...sounded really weird (timbrally) at times
...often seemed excessively simplistic
...at various times sounded good or bad due to how simple and corny it was
...at other times blended in just right

I was completely happy with his synth contribution to the
Ettrick+Dijkstra set on 8/2... possibly for all of the above reasons,
which can probably all be applied to Ettrick's music. Really, I felt
like it was a very satisfying set, and the rock crowd seemed to be
into it. I don't think he's playing any more shows before he leaves.
Nothing's scheduled now, anyway.

John Butcher's sax feedback is pretty great.

I'd like to hear the Weevil (though I agree it seems somewhat
gratuitous). I'd like to play it.

I'd like a MIDI wind controller.
