Well last night’s debut live performance from Michael went quite well, there were a few technical issues with the stream, but it is after all teh interwebs. hopefully there will be a salvageable recording that comes out of it
Ok so I am finally done with the site updates, you won’t be noticing any difference, as it was mostly behind the scenes stuff that I fixed up. Anyhoo…. that’s it
I might want to update this a little more frequently.
Lots of things have happened in the two months that I have been absent from this blog. Here’s a brief list
I still have yet to fully unpack gear from Different Skies, so that has been on my mind. Speaking of my mind, it’s nearly gone, or so it tells me, it did however have the decency to send me a postcard.
Well this just sucks. It’s Tuesday the 23rd which means it’s time to get back to the ol’ day job.
While I don’t miss the sheer number of steps at Arcosanti, I do miss the people, the clean air, the activities, and of course the music.
Lessons learned from the 2007 Different Skies Festival.
Welp that’s it… time to get ready to get back to the “real” world
OMG What a blast last night was. Aside from a major techinical meltdown (both Joe’s and my system crashed just before our newbie piece) it went swimmingly! Had a good turnout, lots of butts in the seats. Dinner was awesome, and now I can’t believe it’s over =( this is the suckage part. The stage was nearly emptied last night, and it looks so void this morning. well time to schlep the gear to the cars….
All I can say is wow, last nights run-through was sheer awesomesauce. It ran so perfectly it was amazing. Just to think about this, blows my mind. Tonight is the concert, I am all at once, excited as hell and terrified beyond belief. It’s been 15 years or so since I performed in front of a live audience…. eek!
Well this morning we did some rehearsal, and tonight we’re going to do a full technical run-through the set for Ivan to set his levels and some automation on the PA system. We are going to rock the house! (in an ambient sort of way)
Today is all about rehearsal, rehearsal rehearsal! I am still amazed at the talent that is surrounding me on stage. These guys hardly have to talk, they just intuitively know what to play on any given piece. I’m still kinda overwhelmed by it all… holy crap what have I gotten myself into!?!? I’m playing on like eleven different pieces
Wow, these guys are amazing! Not only do we have the pieces proposed, we’ve even managed to sort out a tentative set list. The food is good, the environment is awesome, and I’m starting to get ideas!
Well today was fun and exciting. Bill Fox & Brian Good arrived about midday and today was mostly technical setup, sending levels to the PA mixer and the SONGS!. Yup we’re finally getting to the music part of this trip, man there are some awesome pieces.
It’s so beautiful here, but my god there are a lot of steps
