My first solo gig tomorrow! - Page 2

_slavo_ · 02.27.2008, 06:02 PM

I've done it! It wasn't too good, it was somehow mediocre compared to what I was about to achieve, but hey, it was the first time ever so fuck it. The club was full of 17+ teenagers who kept staring at me in a very non-pleasent manner - at that point I was sure I was on the right track

. And then, towards the end of my set, after about 40 minutes of playing, one girl approached me and said: "Excuse me, mister, but do you have, like, something more danceable to offer? Cause, you know, we've got so much energy at our table." Then, I was pretty sure it was the right time to finish playing, haha.

No, seriously, I had fun. I had a lot of my mates down there supporting me and joking around with me and it gave me a big boost of confidence. The sounds weren't as good as when I was practising the play in my living room, it sounded overally too lo-fi, distorted and weird, but I had fun. And that's what counts.

One of my friends took some pics of me, quite good actually. I'll upload them tomorrow. I'll have off at work so I'll have time to absorb the experience in its whole. Thanks for support, fellas.

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. That is a very good thing.

haha
that's a guarantee for success.

Nice, good that you enjoyed the show, that's the most important thing i guess.
Too bad about the sound though.

"sit down and shut up, lady, I'll take care of your energy later."

ha ha -no-

looks like a nice place.
Glad you had fun and nice pics!
I have to check out the vid now...
Btw, I'm pretty disappointed you lied about what you would wear...

A Thousand Threads · 02.28.2008, 06:45 AM

Cool pics, you look good behind your knobs.

Can't watch the video from here, gonna do that from home.

02.28.2008, 07:12 AM

Classic!
Maybe she thought you were the DJ... at the next gig people will start requesting the new Justin Timberlake halfway during your set.

Bertrand · 02.28.2008, 09:09 AM

How long did it take for you to find sleep after playing?
As far as I remember, once you've performed, your energy boosts up and you're restless.
Happy? Distracted? On a cloud?
The video's too short, grrr, and the drone didn't reach France when you played.
Lucky you!

_slavo_ · 02.28.2008, 09:21 AM

okay, since the gig wasn't recorded, I prepared a little something for you - this is an exact reproduction of one of the tracks from yesterday (recorded half an hour ago)

I named it "Courage for the years of wandering"

nicfit · 02.28.2008, 09:22 AM

_slavo_ , did you go 100% impro or did you have a setlist?

_slavo_ · 02.28.2008, 09:48 AM

well, I kind of had stuff prepared, but only in the sense of ... 'okay, I'll keep this playing for about 10 minutes and will build upon that' ... a basic structure, so to say. Looping and effecting was 100% improv.

sonicl · 02.28.2008, 12:56 PM

Can I have your autograph, please, _slavo_? Now that you're a star and all that

themawt71 · 02.28.2008, 12:57 PM

courage sounds great slavo.

Rob Instigator · 02.28.2008, 01:05 PM

keep up the good work slavo!

Everyneurotic · 02.28.2008, 02:39 PM

nicfit · 02.28.2008, 02:52 PM

Rob Instigator · 02.28.2008, 02:55 PM
