Re: per's puter gig and stuff

Hi Michael,

No recording done I'm afraid. It was kind of "Looking For The Unplayed Music" so it wouldn't  make  conceptual sense to record it ;-))  I played at a two days guitar show so I only brought my fretless telecaster with the acoustic/mechanical Sustainiac C. Picked up two more gigs thanks to people passing by, since I was playing outside the venue and everyone else were playing indoors on a closed "demo stage". But it was freezing cold and damp. That area in Gothenburg is similar to Docklands in London; damp mist creeping at you from the waterside, changing the guitar's tuning and changing how your fingers move move on the fretless board. So I had to adapt to that, which eventually made the music a bit more easy listened. But that was good because my best audience, I learned, were the guitar business people waking up in the neighboring hotel rooms by my early morning noise making. A bringing a continental breakfast disc came out of the hotel entrence to enjoy his breakfast in front of the PA and he told me about this "hidden audience". Rather funny ;-))

(Related OT:)
One of the future gigs I were offered is at a zological museum, in the "Mammal Hall". It's full of stuffed dead animals and I was promised that "if I need space for lights and stuff they can even take out the elefant for the event". How crazy is that!!!  Anyone tried contact mics on a stuffed african elephant? LOL...

(saxes) running the "gig" came in and looked at my stuff and thought it
was for a d.j.....when i told him it was my kit he was not as excited
as i was!.....i did a good bit of solo looping before the other players
arrived, alto/soprano sax. drummer and ME!.....they insisted that i
play with them, yikes!.....that's more than i can ask for, other people
(suckas) to play with, they were pretty much straight  ahead jazzers
and later in the evening a FANTASTIC tuba player came and joined
them.....i did my KLUTTER  "all notes are fair game approach to
playing".....seldom if ever had a "key" in mind.....i haven't played
with a horn player in a long time so it was fun to try to duplicate his
lines "beat wise" as well as mad attempts at note for note
duplication.....i had a blast.....i will betcha they NEVER call me back
even thought the folks coming tru the gallery really enjoyed it.....i
totally wish it was recorded, there were a few transendent moments a
least for me.....then the tear down, 3 schleps to car and home.....this
"COMPUTER" thang sounds more and more the direction to take per haps,
yes? no? maybe?.....:)m

  I think that's nothing but fantastic! Total musical freedom :-) Today
I playd an outdoor gig with Laptop and it worked just fine. Excellent
guitar sound from just one laptop, directly lined left/right into the
house PA. Will do a second gig tomorrow, also outdoors.
