I felt mild enthusiasm until I realized how many awesome things are really going on! Good balance of nerding out and dancing out

yeah, i always start to actually feel enthusiastic about mutek at the beginning of May, when i realize that yes, there are A LOT of really good things going on FOR FIVE DAYS. (i was so tired at the end of it all last year. trying not to think about that, haha...)

I am kind of scared because I'm getting over a nasty cold now and last time I had one on the way back. Having this now means I'll be a-ok by Mutek time, right?

yes!
bring vitamin C and zinc! and a scarf! music will help you. all will be well.

nooooooo

do you mean you're getting in on sunday or monday?

mh, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

Sunday evening...I could potentially make the final late event, but my body will be thinking it's five hours later than it is and I'll have to get up for work on Monday morning so I'm kind of dubious.

I was going to say, if you were to get there a little earlier we could grab a beer

Oh man, a Farben set!?!?!?! I wish I could see that.

EDB, Thursday, 24 May 2012 12:59 (11 months ago) Permalink

Only one day with genuine "which venue do I go to at this time" regrets for me, I think. Nocturne 3 will be tricky.

rrrobyn, I take it your email/phone are still the same? I will try to check in and figure out what's up. Would be nice to get a meal or drinks or something outside the fest this year!

mh, Thursday, 24 May 2012 14:13 (11 months ago) Permalink

yes, same contact info for me - let me know when you're in town! i may or may not be as busy as i was last year, but whatever the case, food/drinks = good! :)

I am mutekking. Friends stuck in line to pick up their passes as dinner went long. Chilling in theater.

mh, Thursday, 31 May 2012 00:05 (11 months ago) Permalink

I am also in this line for my pass...

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 31 May 2012 00:10 (11 months ago) Permalink

They ended up being put in the wrong line, then just given a ticket for the current event, do they'll be back in line later...

I just napped to Lustmord. I approve.

mh, Thursday, 31 May 2012 01:33 (11 months ago) Permalink

I almost napped but then the high pitched tones and the air sirens. I also approve.

I was stuck behind a group last night! I was trying to take a bus up St Laurent and we got stuck behind them. I ended up bailing on the bus and walking past the entire group on my way to the plateau.

goddamn siren song of email with things like

Furthermore, that same night, RBMA will also partner with MUTEK for the world premiere presentation of Borderland, the new collaborative project of Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald - pioneers of the Detroit and Berlin scenes, respectively. Capping off the festival as part of the Nocturne 5 event, this performance combines Moritz von Oswald's dub and minimal sensibilities with Juan Atkins' looped and layered rhythms. The festival's final Nocturne event will also feature the performances of Dictaphone, a German trio known for its striking cinematic atmospheres, and Holland-based duo Juju and Jordash, whose oft-praised analog and improvised sets are bound to leave festivalgoers on a high note.

Lastly, RBMA will also take part in a special Boiler Room showcase on the last day of the festival. The product of a London/Berlin-based collective, Boiler Room has become one of the most popular and influential online platforms for electronic music. The collective throws intimate, invite-only events that are streamed live with some of the most sought-after artists and DJ talent. This MUTEK appearance will mark Boiler Room's first ever stop in Montreal.

I know! Mutek makes good on the email announcements.

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 4 April 2013 05:43 (1 month ago) Permalink

maybe the Boiler Room audience will look a little more enthusiastic than usual

Aren't they impossible to get into unless you're one of the cool kids, anyways?

formerly EDB (ed.b), Friday, 5 April 2013 02:36 (1 month ago) Permalink

I was attempting to explain why I can't or shouldn't go to Mutek the other day to a friend, in the context of the discount ticket period expiring, and he told me I should go. He says Mutek makes me happy but I've been several years in a row. Hrrrm.
