Mkl32 - [excerpt]

Ever since washing up on our shores, Neal D. Retke (who performs as {AN} Eel) has been spreading joy and preaching the benefits of D.I.Y. co-operation. A busy member of the international home-taping circuit known for his many collaborative projects, this festival arose from a desire to bring together some of the different musicians he's encountered here so far, mixing together songs and noises over two days in the G.A.S.'s cozy east-end space.

Michael Lynn, curator of the Audiopollination series and an open-eared musical adventurer, has adopted this bandonym of late for his solo appearances. Draped over his double bass, bow and metal whisk in hand, he took the prize for the day's shortest set, wringing some dulcet tones from his rusty strings and then clearing the stage.
