Musique (fête de la)
On Friday, I saw Fennesz live, in a small church, for free !
And thanks Cthulhu, it was free, because it's been terribly short, and not pretty good :/
1) When he arrived, his laptop was obviously missing from the gear, so he had to get it back at the hotel (or something like that). It started like 20-30 minutes late.

2) It was either too messy or too monotonous... he was basically nonchalantly playing is guitar, then fiddling around on his laptop, but it wasn't really leading anywhere or constructing anything. It felt like I was watching Christian in his studio experimenting around with some sounds. Why not. BUT WELL, it was free, eh.

Before that, I saw the second half of BL!NDMAN's set. Very contemporary and minimal, and something that, I think,
womanonfire &
nomi would have enjoyed. One of the member strangely looked like a smoother version of David Bowie... especially with that saxophone...
Alva Noto was playing like, next door, at the Recyclart, at the same time. So I missed it.
Instead I saw Byetone (not to be nerdly misread as Byteone), which a bit like a groovy/danceable version of Alva Noto (with an hint of Pan Sonic). It was nice enough.

Click on the pic for a video of.. well a Byetone performance at OFFF'09, but it was pretty similar ;)
