First, let me take one more opportunity to trash the DC music journalists. Your writing is terrible. Your opinions uninformed. Your tastes reprehensible. Your coverage racist. For good measure, let me throw in a specific critique of your coverage of Sonic Circuits is pathetic, as it consists almost entirely of regurgitating garbage PR releases rather than actually look into the festivities. You (continue to) make me sick!

Moving on to the show…I walked in midway through Tone Ghosting’s set (sites: 1 and 2), and I wish I arrived earlier. His use of a metal bowl on a bass was 100 percent awesome. The rest of the musicians rocked it, with TL0741 doing the knob-twiddling thang, Rape Ape doing some interesting things with feedback and mic work, and Frans de Waard (sites: 1 and 2) building a beautiful sonic landscape with sounds recorded in some now-closed ship yard. Awesome stuff.
