I went to the Bazar Curioux, a music festival in Rotterdam just for see a solo freestylesession by Thurston. I saw a door at the back of the room and opened it looking for a bathroom. It didnt reveal any WC or other related furniture, instead it was some kind of alternative access for the (small but nice) concert room. The room was empty and i sat while the sound engineer made adjustments. After some minutes i see this tall guy with a telecaster, the sonicmoore himself.. he plugged the guitar and made a complete review of every sound, riff, Kkkxhsss and Gzxhjjjnmm from the guitar and the pedal effects that was mesmerizing (even more than the ‘official’ performance and just for me and the sound engineer, heh). after the soundcheck he walked to my direction for talk to someone behind me and we just shake hands and have some little talk about nothing relevant.
just a little encounter but a great chance to see and met this ear-expander, soul-strecher and meta-gnomic artist.
