Playing live in The Village on Monday 4th June. Anybody know anything about this collaboration?

 

[theoootini]

no, but that sounds cooool.

fennesz say: ...although they come from different universes, Patton and Fennesz will share stage to do an unusual performance that is a hymn to radical creative freedom: electronic touches, krautrock landscapes, sampling, stormy drones, mellotron echoes

Fuckin great!Iv no doubt this will be *amazing*

 

[penexpers]

€25 euro is a bit steep though.

 

[psycho]

Do agree 25 euro is well steep.Expect it to be dead bar a few trainspotters and guestlist heads

he looks very gangster-ish.slicked back hair, bit of tash/shmig.a good look for him.i'd say quite a few Patton fans were disappointed though.not with the look i mean

Ditto with the avatar!! Doro looks so pretty in that photo.

I was at this, got a ticket off my mate. I enjoy much of Fennesz' work but this was utter utter bollocks...Seriously, aimless white noise while Mike Patton screeched and fiddled with a Kaos pad randomly. Creative freedom my hole...piss take more like.

towards the end it was decent enough, but at the start it was hard listening in the condition i/we were in.

it wasn't white noise, it was very melodic i thought.if you like fennesz i can't understand how you'd think this was utter bollocks.in fact, they did at least one fennesz tune (off venice) and parts of others.for me what was so good was how much Patton added to the bare bones tracks and how he controlled the temperament of each piece and fennesz fed off what he was doing.a lot of it was improvised so it didn't all come off.but the unpredictability was great and for the most part i thought it was amazing.

Dunno if I heard anything off Venice in the set. There was a moment that it sounded similar to something off Venice and then Mike Patton started screeching and scratching his kaos pad again....

yea he definately used a bit of Transit and i thought Patton might actually do the normal Sylvain vocal line for that but no.there was another sounded very like Circassion. Most of the music was very Fennesz-esque though, no? So for me it was like a Fennesz gig (he improvises a lot anyway I am told) except better.particularly when Patton found his stride later in the set. I also like the way they opened with one they clearly rehearsed.the next one or two after the opener where a bit aimless but they really got into it after that.
