gig

gig

2008-08-31 by spaceanimals

Another lovely outdoor gig yesterday. Out on a friend's porch. Maybe 
fifty people there. Lots of food. Kids. Right on the river with a big 
field. Managed to play original tunes for a whole hour. Since I wrote 
all the lyrics, I was stuck with lead vocal duty. Stevie Wonder makes 
it look easy, but since I can barely play keys and barely sing, 
joining the two is an experience. Although I primarily just used a 
Wurlitzer patch on the EMU Vintage Keys (Wurlitzer, Farfisa, and 
Melotron flute--the holy triumvirate of garage band rock) I did do 
some extended jamming with the AN1x--that's the nice thing about 
playing for free and playing at parties, you can be a little weird. 
Low watt guitar tube amp really helps the leads, makes them sound 
more like an instrument. Just to make things more interesting I set 
the pitch bend all the way so I was getting octaves and doing dive 
bomb whanmmies.

I set the effects so my leads have a slap back echo. Kind of like Sci 
Fi rockabilly.

All the local musicians were there. Living in a rural area, you know 
everybody that plays and that's nice. There was everything from 
crazed Berkley graduates playing in 7/8 to mountain man biker guys in 
top hats channeling Guns n Roses. No one else had a keyboard player. 
No one else played any funk. Man, I have to work on my singing.

Synths sound better outdoors.

Sounds splendid! Do you have any recordings?

Also, as a matter of interest, how did you wire up the audio to
the guitar amp from the an1x and the emu module? Did they both go
into the jack in or did you swap them by hand or have separate
amps for each?

Synths sound better EVERYWHERE!

 

(OMG so entire group of all guitar bands.  My fillings tingle just imagining
it.  I play guitar, but there are limits to the fool things.  (That’s why I
also play a guitar SYNTH.)

 

Glad you had a good gig.
