The show Friday seemed to go pretty well. badger has a
good a good
write up. Even a link to a couple of pics.

Started off a bit shaky, but picked up steam. Started off a bit
sonic and textural. Next couple pieces were more melodic and
rhythmic (at least, for us ;->). Ended with a nice piece
that started off kind of drony, went kind of mathy and
angular for a bit, then ended in a nice pretty drone.

I was in the mood for some reverse delay, so used that
a few times, especially on the second to last piece
that was fairly melodic. Also abused the x911 (
analog monophonic guitar synth…) a lot.

I was using the laptop to record, but alas, yet
again, it failed to work. So far I’m 0-4 on recording
live shows with the laptop. I’m looking for something
better than cubase se to use. But more on that later.

Phasmatodea is playing tonight Friday (Feb 4th)
at Glitter Gallery in Raleigh, NC. Glitter Gallery is located upstairs from
Father And Sons in downtown Raleigh. It will be First Friday, so come out,
stare at us making weird music, then wander around starting at art. Music
is supposed to start 9pm ish.
