Short Notice
Saturday: Start sorting through old file backups.
Sunday: Find a lot of backing tracks I put together for gigs.
Monday: Get invited to play a gig. With five days preparation.
Tuesday: Try to relearn all the lyrics, and EQ the tracks properly this time.
Wednesday: Five songs, fifteen minute set, all arranged.
Small detail - the venue doesn't exactly have a sound system of it's own. So I may end up piping an mp3 player through one of the other band's guitar amp.
Technology. It doesn't so much streamline the creative process as force you to kludge in new ways.

Kludge - what an excellent word!
ReplyDeleteThe best of luck with the gig, and do let us know how it went. Better still, record it!
Necessity is the mother of invention, so kludge away!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! A gig! Yes, do let us know how it goes down. Practice, practice, practice! Those rehearsals pay off. Break a leg!
What is kludge?
ReplyDeleteIs it a fancy way of wanking?
@Nick: Kludge - what an excellent word!
ReplyDeleteThe bastard offspring of Klutz and Bodge, perhaps.
Don't know if I can record the gig - and given the way my pitch accuracy has been this week, not sure I want to - but I'll see. The plan is to record the set in-studio as a kind-of EP.
@Eroswings: Yes, do let us know how it goes down.
If there's any going down, of any kind at all, I'll detail it extensively.
Especially if it involves the Members of any of the other bands. :-)
@Household Goddess: Fair warning: I am going to plagiarise this.
Plage away! Erm, is that the right word?
@MJ: Is it a fancy way of wanking?
You mean you don't already know?!
If you want to know all about kludging, go here.
NSFW - Not Some Form of Wanking.
Good heavens.
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole other world out there I was not aware of.
Best I resume wanking...in my fancy way.
Am i too late to wish you luck? Cos, if not, good luck. :o)

ReplyDeleteNow there's a sentence I never expected to read from you.
Best I resume wanking...in my fancy way.
Ah no, back to normal.

Not too late, and thanks. I sing on Saturday.
