"Video by Ned Wenlock [oneedo]. It got the honourable mention at 2009's Handle The Jandal competition, i.e. best of the 100+ vids that didn't get shortlisted. The concept is the randomness of nature created electronically.

'Red' is from free EP, Biddy Bids."

Other performers included DJ El Gringo, Ami (a gal we met at an outdoor event in Shimokitazawa a few weeks back, David Mashiko (an actual Aussie!), DJ Craig (another Aussie!), Koichiro Suzuki (a wicked didgeridoo player). Last train time came far too early!
