Re: Solo shows

[Jeff Duke <jeffloops@gmail.com>]

Haha Ted, you sound like me these days! Ditto on the radio static, etc too :)

I still play but only from home using Ustream or one of the other streaming services. I also sometimes have a gig on internet radio using Shoutcast. I have also done one gig in Second Life that was interesting! I get a better crowd of people who are only there because they want to be and I don't have to lift anything heavier than my axe!

Peace out,

Jeff

shameless live looping plug, this just out culled from my internet radio gigs at electro-music.com : http://alonetone.com/jeffloopzz/playlists/adventures-in-space-and-time

I don't play out as much as I used to - and even then it was not as often as many "weekend warrior" types (not by long shot).

As I get older too, my tastes have been becoming less and less mainstream too.

I find I would almost rather listen to between-station radio static, road noise, and the sound of the wind than the stuff that comes out of most car radios.

If I were considered a purveyor of "world music" my music would be the national musical art form of a country populated by exactly one.

And, in my crotchety old age, I am beginning to actually like it that way.

> How many of you guys play out solo with your looping?  What kinds of places do you play?  Wineries, art spaces?  I've gigged a lot in rock bands through the club scene but have no experience out here on the sonic fringes of performance art with solo, looping, improvised performances.
