Animal Hospital Ensemble: big repetitive guitar awesomitude

PVC Didji's suck.

Uh, yeah, that was my point.

This was a gear lovers paradise. And the music...it was transcendent. It was my first time at Machines With Magnets, what a fantastic space. Great people too.
Be a good sport, go see some shows or record there!

Aw dang - you were at MWM? I wanted to go, but had to miss it due to prior plans. It's a great space, great recording facility, and great people. My old band recorded at one of their previous locations, and my last band got to play an art opening at the current location. Amazing to see a group of talented people develop & grow like they have.

Do you know John Kolodij and Emily Arkin? I think they were in the ensemble for both performances.

Very cool! Looking forward to making the trek down for more events at Machines With Magnets. I strongly urge all who are able to do the same. Pretty cool thing going on there. Heard a few clips of their recording from that night. A mere 3 mics on 30 people. Sounded amazing. They got serious skills.

Emily & John are good people and immensely talented. It was amazing how many musicians from varied backgrounds were able to seamlessly blend their styles to that of Kevin's.

I got that. I was just agreeing with you.

Hey hey.
This is John .
Just wanted to say, I was incredibly proud to be apart of the Animal Hospital Ensemble-wonderful on every level-

I'd also like to say-I have nothing even close to $30,000 worth of gear, and I'm not sure what sort of qualifier expense vs. expression gets one-
look forward to one day hearing your work, Chankgeez if it's anything like your posting

Welcome to the forum, John.

OK, so maybe I was exaggerating by like ten or twenty thousand dollars? When someone spends that much money on gear I expect a lot from them musically. You have some nice equipment, John. I had expected you do something interesting with it. Like I said, maybe I caught you on an off night. We all have them.

Thanks for the kind words about my abilities to criticize. I'm sure my criticisms are far more interesting than my music. Just so you're not disappointed.

Man, those vids are just making me kick myself all the more for missing it. Must have sounded head-spinningly huge in person. Hopefully it'll happen again... or at least something like it...

I see a buncha eyeglasses, Kevin Micka's beard and some guy possibly named Brendan wearing a plain white t-shirt. Awesome.

I think all those noisey/no-wave/avant-garde guitar ensembles are awesome, I will give this a listen!

Last weekend I played with Yuri Landman's again, that is always great!:)

I also saw Glenn Branca on that festival, sounded awesome with the 7 or so people in his ensemble!
