IM not FBing this cos there too many people to ask if its OK (there are whispers of an edit, a remix and a release ha ha)BUT heres my page regarding my show in Italy last week (I play so rarely now, every gig gets a whole page on my blog!)Theres pics, and audio! No video tho... there rumours of 3 minutes of iPhone somewhere...
The whole gig recorded thru the desk, so a bit of funky mix... almost no bass (He was going thru a Mesa Boogie thing).Everything is improvised, except:The samples are actually sound tracks to video we were showing, of my wife singing some old Norsk Folk songs...And 2 drum loops in Abelton Live... operated by my tech guy, who was also doing the video projections.All the glitching electronic stuff is me...using 2 EDPs a EF303, kaos quad.I was accompanied by 3 fantastic Italian musicians on Fretless Bass, Treble Sax (is that whats its called.. the straight one) and guy playing a VERY old Swedish Instrument, called (correct me here Per) a Nikkelharpe, whichs is a violin with keys! He also played West Indian Steel drums, and those african things, you know... them wotsits with the metal strips on a wooden box... hate them myself, boring, but he made VERY good use of them... Kalinka, or Kalimba.. I dunno.. some ethnic hippy thing.
Somehow the mix of electronics and live acoustic sounds worked pretty well...Enjoy...--
