I could have done with it being a more rambunctious performance than the more subdued electronics/amplified objects/laptops setup we actually got. It wasn't bad, it just a little unfocussed to me. Though Matana Roberts' occasional interjections on clarinet, sax, or percussion (and a couple with her voice) in particular felt sharp and purposeful. But both great performers, good support from Rebekah Reid too.

Intimate performance in a beautiful building. Met Performer and he signed the vinyl I bought. Great gig.
