  NOMORESHAPES - 8pm
  
  Jay Crocker and Eric Hamelin will comprise a duo version of NMS for this evening. Crocker has been busy for the last year, recording and producing records for Ghostkeeper, Ian Jarvis, Phil Withers, Ryan Bourne, as well as his finishing up his latest, Turned To Giants, which will be released by September of this year. He's also been developing a personlized approach to improvisation, using recordings of himself and banks of homemade electronics. This activity can be heard on his Bug Incision release Joachim on Eggshells, which is currently in its second, and probably last pressing. Hamelin is keeping busy, as always, holding down the drum chair for Chad van Gaalen, and taking his fine self all over Europe and Canada to do so.
