jeff bujak is opening?! haha, remember when that dude posted here?
i might go to this, not because of bujak
Meh... I\'m still around once and a while. Did you got the show? Not because of me... but did you have a good time?
Jeff was a cool set, different in that he had a electric piano with heavy sustain and distortion so it sounded like a guitar, and a full keyboard that was doing all the bass line, piano, whatever else he needed going. He played over a laptop that was doing drum samples but the whole set was already pre-programed and he just played over it. He had his parts down and it was neat to see, but since it was all to a drum riff preprogrammed, there could only be so much improv which was kind of a let down. 99% of it was straight common time trance melody. he had one part that was in 11 and had some really good syncopation but for the most part it was a fun, albeit predictable set.
all in all a great night. now it\'s on to beck, of montreal and mstrkft!!! :banjump:
Hey brother. Thanks for the listen. I do infact pre-sequence my drum loops before the show. But, improv is mostly what I do up there. I\'m a sequencer musician not a jamband. I have some riffs that I do in certain spots, but I do have the ability to play any progression and any riff at any time without consulting anybody on stage. That setup at Sully\'s was a smaller setup for the limited space I had. I usually have loopers and more samplers to mess around with. Oh well... I had a major headache too... I remember that. Come to a full show of mine. I\'ll put you on the list. :-)
The Franks were good. High energy.
The Indobox was on! Great band. The next night in Northampton, I had the opportunity to play with them again. Great people!!! A band to watch for sure.
