afteroblo
I played yesterday at oblo. Below are some pictures and a video.
Very few people came but from what I heard they enjoyed the show. Unfortunately I couldn’t do visuals as there was no plug that fit my video output.
As usual I can’t say much about my set. I had definitely too much reverb and my guitar’s microphones which I had tuned to be extremely sensitive didn’t behave as expected (because of air moisture?). No pre-recorded stuff, every single sound was done live… I think it was not too bad actually.
Dave Phillips did a great mix of recordings he did while travelling in Thailand and Vietnam. Insects, water, storm… At the end he distributed this text to the audience. Interesting.
Some time after the show, Dave put some insane music like a fantastic “Eye of the tiger” sung by a crazy pakistani guy and some pop tunes from Thailand… That was pretty cool.
Thanks to Phroq who organized the event. By the way he’s gonna play at oblo on July 5th with Michael Gendreau. I’ll be there!

Update: I uploaded more videos on my YouTube account.

C’est vraiment nice le mélange de bruit et de reverb, ça me fait un peu penser à du Murcof!

[…] net having much time for preparing my set and I can’t actually re-use what I did at oblo last saturday. It was too much experimental and wouldn’t work well in such an “open-air” event […]
