Just a few words about Shane Parish’s gig in Paris (at a bar called Chair de Poule — Goosebumps) a few days ago. On record, Autechre Guitar had struck me as interesting, but nothing more. However, live, on a rainy evening, it was perfect.

We were about twenty in the venue. The gig might as well have been in the dark, given that Shane was playing with his eyes closed. His technical mastery was pretty impressive and he played almost the entire album (with the exception of “Slip”, unless I’m mistaken). After the gig, I had a quick chat with him: jokingly (I guess), he mentioned the possibility of tackling Autechre’s more recent tracks next. A good time, then.
