Live

Well there's one for the books, I was more looking forward to the jog than I was the live stream. I had no preparation. This week I'm focusing on the Daw. I want to get some drum racks with DJ battle scratches and loops, some fx racks. Maybe live can provide distortion for the jp and maybe some delays.

The Daw and The Dawless:

I swing both both ways, I want to go completely hard sometimes and only use live as the sync. Other times I go completely soft and ... Ok enough of that.

Two hour set from a one hour backing track, that's one hour of improv! See, I told you it would work, and in the first week!

Ok so not smooth in that a listener can probably pick out the prepared stuff over the live improv, but it's all music and it worked well.

Next week I'll focus on the DAW Ableton, now that I'm happy with the direction the studio is taking. I'll load up some loops midi and audio and start working on how I can transpose two synths at the same time and how to move out of one groove and into another.

Today felt much smoother, more like what I would have expected on day one had it not been for the harddrive crash and subsequent time and effort in restoring everything.

Objective: A bit smoother than yesterday.

No jogging today, but feeling the pain from yesterday and not looking forward to tomorrow. Still two days in a row practising melodics.

Started day with a 5 minute melodics practice session (hopefully the first of many), followed by a jog(hopefully the first of many) before I sat down and prepared for the live stream (hopefully the first of many).

The aim: to perform for one hour.
