Been at a nice small gig featuring three electroacoustic (ambient, drone, noise) musicians Francisco Lopez from Madrid, Michel Gendreau from somewhere in the US, Violet (Jeff Surak) from the same somewhere in the US and our ukrainian noise terrorist Kotra who organised this btw and whose performance i missed in the ends
Michel Gendreau is claimed to be a professional acoustic, working at plants creating noise suppression systems, building hi-tech soundlabs.. a lot of small mics on the table filled with different knobs wires and small aparata and a notebook - sounded a bit not energetic.. too short and too quiet. He can do better, i am sure.
(Violet) Jeff Surak was good - started to play on a small fan which forced air onto a small piece of foil stuck between two strings of a toy dulcimer (i suppose it was a dulcimer), with three staplers put on the strings of it so that it affected the resonance in some way. three effect pedals in a row - like distortion and compressor, different shite on the table which he used somehow in the process of sound creation. It was a long set and a nice one, ending with a loud noise pumped up, up, up and then suddenly silence. i recommend:)
Then Francisco Lopez - audience was asked to turn their faces away from the performer, and to put blindfolds on their eyes (not required but recommended) so I don't know what were his instruments, but it was good. Just some motherfuckers photographed me with a blindfold, bothering a little. It was long, various, sometimes industrial sounding soundscapes with rhythm from time to time. Quite good and I recommend it, too. Spain people, check him when he's back! :)
they did an improv jam after that with Kotra (one nice chap from Kiev:) but i missed it - went outside to meet noise-hating friends.

doesn`t matter, let us rejoice!
btw: I really find the nexsound sound much better than most net-labels I know. (more experimental for sure)
If you happen to know any other places witch this kind of music, let me know!!

no, don't think I know more of such netlabels. i know nexsound because it is a real label first, then netlabel, and because i'm located close to it so i see all the gigs organized by them and communicate with one of its artists rather well..
i know they sometimes release their stuff on netlabels like Autoplate, Nishi, microbio and -n. Guess there is a lot of other stuff to be heard and enjoyed on these labels too.
