an untitled of 24 minutes. The first act of the evening, located at the
entrance of De Singel. Rudy was already playing when several people were
still entering. They saw Rudy playing and must have thought: 'uh-oh,
what am i doing here?' Rudy had prepared a 4-track, and together
with 'someone' behind the turntables (probably controlling the sound of
the boom car), he gave the best of himself in an 25 minute jam. I'm not
entirely sure, but I think there were many parts of improvisation in
rudy's live-play. I can't really compare what it all sounded like with
something else, but strangely enough, it reminded me of Sonic youth in a
way, although sounding fairly different. It was an experiment, and for
my taste, a succeeded one. The boom car had a limited role this night
(contrary to DJ Raphael vs. Boom car the night before), which helped to
make the whole thing more 'digestable'.
I thought it was a neat performance, and many with me. |
