This week I was able to attend the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles and besides having a packed schedule full of meetings, I was able to slip out of our meeting rooms and check out one performance by Mutaytor featuring guest appearances by Chris Vrenna and Clint Walsh. For those of you reading this, Chris Vrenna was a founding member of Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails. Chris left the band to form Tweaker with co-writer and guitarist, Clint Walsh. Besides the band Tweaker, they have also been keeping busy working on remixes for various artists and composing music soundtracks for games -- which was the reason they were performing at NCSoft's booth -- performing music from the upcoming video game "Tabula Rasa." They were scheduled to perform twice daily, and I had hoped to catch multiple performances, but was caught in what seemed to be endless, back-to-back meetings. Luckily, I was able to catch their last performance on Thursday afternoon, before catching my flight back home to Northern California. I took a few pictures from my phone that I've posted here on Flickr. Here's a really crappy video from my phone too. Overall, the 3pm Thursday show was a short (25 minute) set containing what I assumed to be music from the Tabula Rasa game. Pretty cool ambient, instrumental stuff. Plenty of drums, droning guitar and keyboards. Good stuff. After E3, I've heard that Chris and Clint are off to the UK to continue to perform in the Gnarls Barkley band. Check out the tour schedule here and be sure to catch them when they play on Conan O'Brien on May 24th.
