Re: Y2K5 Performance Recordings - I Guess I'll Share Mine First



5.1 would be cool. I wish I could do that....but I recorded only in stereo.  You hit the nail on the head with your comment on the intro burbling/gurgling section...I was messing with that VST effect when I started and realized too late that it was too high in the mix.  In fact, the overall mix on my EDPs was too damn high for the room and prompted Rick and Andy to turn the volume down on the PA mixer....which had another consequence, in that with the remainder of my parts, there were times I could hear the raw sound of my guitar strings over the sound coming out of the PA. That generated a rather awkward (uncomfortable?) situation and deflated some of my mood, but it was necessary to turn the volume down on the PA once that intro part was set in stone.
 
Moreover, at the time I was looping that intro part and started playing guitar over it, the thought popped in my head: darn, what the heck am I going to do now? So I just worked with it and transitioned into phase II of the piece which faded all that intro part out. I think it all worked out in the wash eventually. Such are the pitfalls of live looping, I guess.  As usual, thanks for the comments, Fabio. :)  In hindsite, I also feel that the piece was too minimal given how I play live normally....especially given what I played last year on the acoustic guitar (this was my electric). Water under the bridge of self-criticism.

Very minimal looping act.
Winds, birds and burbling sounds over-near-up-down the guitar parts. Evocative.
I think it could be interesting to re-master it in 5.1 (....if you have recorded separate tracks).

While I'm waiting for others to download their Y2K5 performance files, receive them on CD-R, or decide whether they want to share their music with the LD list, I guess I'll share my set first, especially since mine was the only set where the streaming server went down and thus no one on LD was able to hear it. Unfortunately, I couldn't play AND monitor the stream at the same time!  My brain just doesn't operate that way.  :)
 
So, for what it's worth, here it is...one gigantor 30 minute, evolving, improvisational piece:
 
 
Cheers,

p.s. Rainer, fess up...who were you able to record orver the broadcast with any degree of fidelity? Enquiring minds want to know... :)
