Caught five minutes of this - I was slightly medicated at the time so my memory fails - I wasn't captivated - 4 greying Japanese old men and euphonium player making very polite and pleasant noises on their Macs - nothing earth shattering. I wasn't there but I have not yet heard a good word said about their other concert - a collaboration with Fennesz, Pan Sonic and a Barcelona orchestra.
