amazing sometimes boring, sometimes sensational, sometimes fun, sometimes crap i was a bit disappointed when 15 minutes before the ending people came in that actuallly stayed: the whole joint had been swept empty by then there were some cool melodies on some cool instruments, like a great violin solo on some synthesizer thingy i think bremsen played (i was so rude to only introduce myself to qrter, who is, i must add, in real life even cooler, he had on a cool hat and glasses, but also he was more gentil in real life, like us). qrter was cutting or slicing these samples all of the time that got boring sometimes. also there was this terrible artyfartsy associative poem read out by one of them over the music. they ended with some default beat from one synthesizer over which they played a happy, catchy tune. that was hilarious, especially when the dude that had started the beat banged his head to it a couple of times, that was so out of posture oh and everything looked great: there should have been made pictures.. all in all a memorable experience up next: me hitting some bells and stuff as background music in the opening play of an upcoming amateur play-festival in utrecht! |

sorry, it's kinda pinned to my wall, and i'm too much of a lazy american to unhook it. it'd be kinda funny to take a picture of me wearing it as a cape though. |
||||||||

|
|
oh and i had pancakes before it too! well actually just one because it wasnt an all you could eat night |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D it's suposed to be a sarcastic statement on the coroprate control of america. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i haven't had pancakes in a very long time...i should get some asap. |
||||||||
|
|

i figured. i just wanted to clarify. *highfives* *burns an effigy of the bushlet* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
so qrter is poof-orming? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter has a gig tonight? too bad i don't live in the netherlands, and he doesn't live in texas. it's at times like this why a wonder an idiot like Bush hasn't commissioned the government to research instant teleportation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i actually have a great picture of sage francis wearing that as a cape, humping a pants-less doll of george bush in the ass. oh, coachella. you were too good to me. |

HA!. it was nice to see big/Martijn IRL, as all the hip kids call it. :) I have great respect for him sitting through the jazz-band on before us (I can't stand the crappy standards they were playing), but even more respect for sitting through our set! we did indeed clear the room, although it was pretty empty anyway. I have mixed feelings about the evening. I think the first half was better - each of us played a kind of solo and the others could join. that worked best structurally. the second half was too much crap at the same time, making everything sound like.. um.. crap. all subtleties went out of the window. and I like subtleties. :( also crappy was my computer. it can't take much. I can only run a few plug-ins at the same time before it starts fucking up. so I couldn't do a lot of tweaking. I'll see if I kind borrow Bremzen's desktop for tomorrow evening, than I can actually do something. the violin-thingy was indeed by Bremzen! :) (it was his official The Books-ripoff.) we were both cutting and splicing samples, so I wasn't the only one being boring. :D the terrible artsy-fartsy poem was a Dutch translation of Captain Beefheart's "Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish" - the vocal being manipulated real time by mr. Bremzen yet again. the person who spoke that poem is Daniel Cross, who is the kind of leader of the Rosa Ensemble, who perform a whole Beefheart show normally (and I am one of the translators for that project - I did not translate this poem though!). arf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and I did not look cool. Daniel is real prissy about everybody dressing up for things like this, so I was more or less bullied into it. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and no pics to post? too bad, I mean for the rest of us, I guess this memory holds a special place in your heart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was like these two old jazz connaisseurs came in, sat down, got up and left yeah with the violing solo you were cutting up violin samples, that worked out nicely how do you do that cutting up anyway? in soundsforge and then? you select a small bit and that's automatically repeated? next time do take pictures for key_s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yay @ qrter! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
frrom Adbusters? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had not a lot to do with the violin-thing - that was all Bremzen's thing. he had all kinds of samples loaded up into his keyboard. I did the stuff with the sample from 12 monkeys - I loaded the voicemail (with her saying "the secret headquarters of the twelve monkeys.." etc.) into soundforge and then just 'scrub' the sample - moving the pointer over it. that way you can 'play' the sample, as it where. |

|
|
were, even. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||

tomorrow evening in Theater Kikker, again in Utrecht. this time a band of about 7 or 8 people. oh gosh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ey! take / post pics! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool! i can't come tomorrow though, prolly :/. are you having more gigs next week? or this sunday? or anytime soon? i'll definately take pictures if i can come :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it's all over now. no more gigs in the near future featuring qrter and me. HOWEVER, saturdays gig was great! Much much much better then thursday. Pity that only a small number of people were there to witness it. I have a recording which is pretty ok, i'll upload it soon. We are going to try to get booked into Lowlands with this, which will most probably be somewhat impossible, but since the Rosa Ensemble is playing there most probably (me and another guy from last weeks performances are in that ensemble) we might have a small chance (though smaller then the number of people who showed up saturday...) |
