The quartet rehearsed for three to four hours a day in three days, including the day of the concert. We took care not to rehears any improvisation at all, since we wanted that to happen fresh at the gig (which it did ok). The acoustics of the rehearsal area made it almost impossible to play there at all, so we focused more on discussing the storyboard and to order the pieces in the best way with regard to transitions between songs and video display. And of course, Costas and I had to make notes on how to loop at critical moments during the show. I made many mistakes anyway, but that's to expect if you are stupid enough to set up a repertoire and rehearse before a gig ;-)) THe original concept for the show was more based on improvisation along a storyboard script, but as it turned out In Real Life all members wasn't totally comfortable with that. So we reworked everything on the fly during those three days. After sleeping only three to four hours a night I was finally able to sleep, lying flat on the palace marble, during the loud PA calibration check before the gig on the last day (LOL). The project was a funny adventure in most areas, not only musically ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/fauvm (podcast) http://www.myspace.com/looproom
