I did listen to the entire thing via the stream which obviously compromised things a lot. However I definitely got stoked for the Ami/Toshi and Sachiko/Keith - probably the highlights of next year.<BR/><BR/>I sure'd like to catch something at XI sometime, maybe a trip to NYC is in order next year. Though of course not much will top this DJ set. I would like to hear some of Phill's stuff on his system though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-39869776666687282072008-12-15T13:30:00.000-05:002008-12-15T13:30:00.000-05:00one last comment, sorry:"Way too much to get my ea...one last comment, sorry:<BR/><BR/>"Way too much to get my ears around in a single hearing, to be sure, but I was happy to have experienced it once in such surroundings."<BR/><BR/>yeah, just keep in mind that it wasn't mixed or mastered yet (although Unami has mixed it now and Toshi is working on the mastering, I only had the rough mixes), so it wasn't really the final product. I had both the high and low ends EQd up to try to increase the impact a bit, but I have no idea how accurate that will be when compared to the final result (not that we'll be playing that on Phill's system anyway, so something of a moot point, but still).Jon Abbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554860803665562805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-16396718498675418912008-12-15T13:05:00.000-05:002008-12-15T13:05:00.000-05:00two more things:"XI has the most amazing sound sys...two more things:<BR/><BR/>"XI has the most amazing sound system of any venue that would allow musicians like Rowe through the entrance (though, oddly, he's never played there)."<BR/><BR/>well, Phill is only allowed to host shows there three weeks a year, one in March and two in December, that's part of his lease-sharing agreement, as he's not in NYC most of the year.<BR/><BR/>and one funny thing about the Rowe/Beins piece is that despite you being the sole audience member for that yesterday, over 10 percent of the original audience was present (me, Yuko, Phill and his gal were all in Berlin at the original set, along with maybe 25 or 30 other people).Jon Abbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554860803665562805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-73819737357457918312008-12-15T12:41:00.000-05:002008-12-15T12:41:00.000-05:00nice, Brian! glad you enjoyed it...the Rainey trac...nice, Brian! glad you enjoyed it...<BR/><BR/>the Rainey track is a remix of a piece he put out on a 7 inch this year on Evolving Ear, the English track is due out in early 2009 as part of the first release on Bill Ashline's new Celadon label (a double CD, I believe). <BR/><BR/>the Ami/Toshi and new Keith solo both sounded really amazing (as did the climax of The Pilgrim, Phill went and got his db meter, which registered 105!), too bad you couldn't stick around for those, but thanks for making it out at all!Jon Abbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554860803665562805noreply@blogger.com
