hello i was asked to perform music for a reading event about the war in the balkans, i still have to read this document, also it'd be cool to read some experiences in this kind of stuff. im not sure if i want to perfom or mix someone else's music, since the person who asked me wasn't clear about the matter. actually she did asked if i compose, and i said yes but i improvise, then she asked me that, so maybe that's what she was after. i thought about pushing some chords very very slowly in order to have time to turn a reverb knob very very slowly and go from there, trying to avoid the typical exaggerations one is allowed to try at home. regarding which keys to press i thought about cheating, keeping the circle of fifths close at hand. advices? |

if you have time - take your time to prepare it well. maybe have a sheet with a rough plan of what's coming after what, in case you panic and forget things during the performance. and get a mini-torch in case lighting in the room/hall is low. |

thanks im reading it right now, there are parts in which the music needs to go along and parts in which there must be none. it's 23 pages, tells the story of the confict from the beginning like in a school book but less boring. and the text is big |

Well I for one can't wait to attend this event. |

just loosely compose it, write down the structure for yourself and the settings for the gear you're using for each section (what gear are you using anyway? more info needed) |

these are my intruments always the same click before continue reading: i just put something down for the first page, the music goes for a just half of it, when it explains about the croatian soldier trying to put the flag of croatia instead of jugoslavia in a town with serbian majority, and they where killed and mutilated, that's where the conflict starts. too much? also thanks Stein, i see you in the first rows. lol hope its just me and her *ghhhh* |

no one empathizing? |

it sounds ok. she's talking about this flag story over the top of this? I think it works but (imo) maybe it's a little too emotive? the sound here will be acting quite influentially / strongly over the top of her words I think and maybe that isn't necessary because the story is already quite powerful in itself. anyway, just my opinion. |

record/have someone film the whole performance so you can self-evaluate/check for any mistakes later - and have a few laughs at yourself after the whole tension is gone. priceless |

yes, sounds all another story just thinking about it, pre recording and mimic the gestures later sounds dumb as fuck. and a bit loser. but, let me try doing the whole thing before. @ Torture Garden: the piece its tad long, i tried reading the piece while the music was playing. the long 'intro' its perfect cos it ends at the end of the first paragraph, and the chords that start near 30'' begins the next paragraph. i say its a tad long cos the piece finishes before the track but i've had the feeling of the music too emo too, and the cut of the epic final around 1:30'' comes in handy. i thought about fading out before at that point. it does not seem to cover the text at reasonable level, but it's my voice. all the sync without measuring lenghs before :) |

so trying to develop a mothod for the next pieces or for the live itself, reading in mind along while pushing keys = works this kind of modulation i've got there is good to gain tension every time it ends a phrase. kind of fucking or what? |

still, one has to choose to watch keys and study the text before or read and study the movements before. i write down 3-4 basic movements to do for each section on a piece of paper and go from there, or stay there while reading :) |
