Giggage + meme
So the gig.
The pub atmosphere was okay. It was quieter than usual.
It was cold and wet outside, so I'll blame it on that!
Two PCs (laptop+desktop) and a mixer.
Positives:
- People got into some of the new stuff which was great :D
- $70 + two pints.
- A few randoms came, and this dude who's another random Perth buzzer rocked up too, which was cool.
Negatives:
- It's hard getting the levels right live with one person trying to do two other things at once! D'oh.
- More level stuffups. :(
- Laptop-buzz-session died midway through set. Luckily the desktop I took a risk and loaded another session of the software on the desktop while it was outputting through mixer. It paid off, but it was a little scary!
- Quieter crew than I'd like, and a few people left early.
MEME (thanks orb. :P)
5 (five) favourite songs?
In no particular order:
Herbie Hancock - Chameleon
Awesome groove and super-psychedelic organ solos. There's a reason it's my mobile phone ringtone.
Mellow-D (md) - Opera.xm (from the blur.green EP)
~8 minute darkish breaky electroy ambienty tune available at scene.org if you look hard enough.
(It's hiding in this zip file.)
md is a big influence for me, and this tune still blows me away.
James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good)
OW!
radiohead - airbag (Ok Computer)
You know? Some rAndom guy recommenDed the AlbuM I think, so I went and got it. And I can remember listening to this the first time, I think it was in headphones. It was loud and felt like it was gonna fall apart and I fell asleep to it many times.
This last one was hard...
Nahnotanymore.
I played this piece for a piano exam, and I still love it.
Chopin's Au Claire de Lune.
So delicate, so beautiful, so adventurously _musical_.
