Reception

One reviewer describes Townsville as "Blended from a beguiling mix of minimalism and trance music with just a pinch of jazz improvisation, their performance relies for its success on fixing the audience's attention on the tiny changes in rhythm, the odd little hints of melody, the almost imperceptible dynamic variations that creep into their music from time to time."[3]

Personnel
gollark: it is more lightweight.
gollark: Consider Gitea.
gollark: git.osmarks.net?
gollark: Probably, people will vote for the shiny things at the expense of actually making anything work, and either there will be constant budget shortfalls and broken services, or the civil service will just take over everything.
gollark: People voted for Trump. Direct democracy does not guarantee sanity.
