the lab show

Last week end I went to a show at the Laboratory and it was one of the best yet. This one was mostly groups of experimenters as opposed to the solo or duo format of other noise shows there.  One of my favorites was Travis Johnson. He played a box of balloons with his hands and with a bow. He comes up with some of the most creative stuff.

Andrew Chadwick was also good as usual.  He played with Brian Ubanks. Andrew (Ironing) plays a turntable and stacks pieces of records on and lets the needle bump the parts to make a rhythm and rapidly changes the bits as it progress. He often also has random radio or tape playing at the same time. Sat. he finally ripped the needle out the stylus. I don't know how that thing lasted so long.
