The first band I saw on Friday were Pigeons, whose songs veered from more traditional folky structures to free form psychedelic madness - with bells.
Next came Vincent Epplay and Samon Takahashi with their 'ungovernable' synths.
Drawing the biggest crowd on Friday was Grouper. It's a shame that she didn't sing a bit more, but her masterful way of merging performances together with samples and drones was still mesmerising.
The Long Lonesome Go kicked things off on Saturday Night with some inspired improvosition. You can download their music for free from their website.
The last act I caught on Saturday was Pulse Emitter, whose homemade synth wizardry brought the festival to a close for me.
I really enjoyed this festival, and will be keeping an eye out for future Tusk events. The shows were excellent value, and the programme featured an eclectic mix of international acts.
