I have to say that any event that Grux and his crew are putting on, and I'm in. It's always a pleasure to share a room with the man's amazing artwork!
It was also great to play with so many creative Brutal Sound Artists. A fine evening of drone, robotics, scrawls, and screams was had.
For Failure Cock's set, we utilized the still-developing pan feedback flute, a small cymbaline, and old cymbals with grinders and contact mics.
I honestly could have just stood back the whole time and listened to Scarp's loops. Really good stuff.
The pan feedback flute worked OK, but it still needs tweaking.
It was most fun grinding away at the cymbals; we got some really booming scrawls going. One person I spoke with said that he liked the Classic Industrial sound we were going for. I saw it more as trying to keep things really simplified, but can see his point.
What a great night in the Mission. Keep SF Weird.
