yeah, i feel like a schmuck for not going AGAIN this year.
one of the performers has sent the label i work for his demo.

see: www.alon.tv

he doesn't use a "real" tron [he uses the m-tron instead].
did anybody catch his act?

it featured the "alonomorphic control station", which is a mac
laptop running digital performer with lots of plugins, a yamaha
digital console, an eventide harmonizer, and his guitar rig.

i spoke to him last thursday before he left for the FEST.
nice chap.
not sure if we will be signing him to the label, but i dug
the CD he sent.
