I'm really hoping something similar happens at Mutek next year. Not even
necessarily all those same artists, even just the concept would be
interesting to watch unfold.
And when I showed that picture to my boyfriend, he said "That looks like
Hollywood Squares!".

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but last Thursday was a
performance by Narodniki in Berlin, which this time consisted of (Left to
Right):
http://www.c4.ca/narodniki.jpg
Richie Hawtin
Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric)
Luciano
Ricardo Villalobos
Monolake
Zip
Scion/Vainqueur/Substance
Cabane
All played on their laptops, un-synched, at a tempo of 120 BPM, with the
exception of Monolake who was the conductor, or better the controller, who
used the mixer to determine which artists were being mixed with which and
how. Zip and Ricardo also took a few moments to control.
The best way to describe it is free-form laptop jazz orchestrated by a
perfectionist.
You gotta love European arts subsidies.
