Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) played a show with Mats Gustaffson (whose band The Thing also performed at BE) – a wild mix of electronics and free jazz improvisation. While the show started out in a rather quiet and unassuming way (at times we wondered if Mr. Gustafsson’s mic was turned off) it eventually grew into a torrent of squealing sax and clicks and cuts and glitches. And then it went back….and then the torrent started growing again (reportedly Mats Gustafsson had to pour out all the saliva out of a sax during the quieter moments of the set). Below we collected some of the tweets for both Four Tet solo performance and his set with Mats Gustafsson + some tweets related to The Thing
