We both had pretty much the same experience. I went to the Gate to Moonbase Alpha (GtMbA) with Howard.

Considering the level of artists that pefrom there, I think this is amaturish and disrespectful to the artists and to the audiance.Īs usual, I took some pictures with my digital camera.

They never start on time, introduce the performers, or publically thank people who contribute, including Chef Jeff who sometimes brings free food for the audiance, and the people who consistently put on excellent light shows. I wish the people that run GTMBA would take these presentations a little more seriously. We unfortunately missed Scattered Planets because we had to hit the road. There was other stuff last night which I won't describe here. I was reminded of the late great Harry Parch, but Quintini is not as stuffy. His instruments are visually and acoustically very interesting. The Great One did several extended percussion performances on instruments of his own constuction. I was affraid at one point the FBI would bust in and take him away, but he assured us that the "Federal Goverment is our friend." His poetry is quite thought provoking, and sometimes has a strong political undercurrent certainly the case last night. He's also a poet usually reading a couple of works at each performance. Quintini is a perfromance artist as well as a musician.
The Great Quintini put on two facinating sets. I'd love to offer it one the store in the future. Mike was kind enough to give me a CD of his music. He is well appreciated the the GTMBA audiance, for good reason. That said, once the audiance figures out he's "on", they sit down and focus intently.
Sometimes he appears to be really into what he's playing, and sometimes he'll walk off the stage for a minute while the music goes on via auto pilot. When he starts his sets, it often takes several minutes to figure out the the house CD music has stopped and Mike has started performing. His stage style is laid back in the extreme. Unlike many practioners of the electronic arts, Mike understands dynamic range. Most of time, the "loops" are varied in some way each time you hear them. The music often sounds like looping, but rarely is it totally repetitive. The music sometimes uses the sounds of processed human voices that are quite interesting. It is related to the techno style, but it seems more evolved musically. His music has elements of percussion running through it most of the time, with lots of electronic sounds (ear candy). It would be great if Mike would set up a forum here on and explain how he works. I suspect he uses a lot of pre-recorded stuff on computer disk and does real-time mixing and some processing. It's hard to figure out exactly how he creates his music because you can't see a lot of equipment on the stage. I have heard him at GTMBA once before and his stuff is very interesting. It was worth the 2 hour drive through the horrendous Philadelphia traffic in the rain. Several of us went down to GTMBA last night.
