RE: Dream Looping Venues?
Title: Message
Well, not that I'd ever be big enough to play there and compete with band
like the Dead, Kiss, Dave Matthews, etc, but the Gorge in Washington (USA) would
be fun....great scenery!

Hi all,
Are we talking about
gigs we've done or gig's we'd like to do?
My favorite space to play in
so far was a gig I had at the
CONTEMPORARY ARTS FORUM CENTER STAGE THEATER
in Santa Barbara, California. Imagine a building which from
the inside
presents a performance space that is a big flat-black
cube within which you
can reconfigure seating, stage, curtains,
lighting and sound system to fit
almost anything you want to do.
It presents absolutely no distractions to
the performance
(because of its dull decor) and it sounded GREAT
too.
As for places I'd like to do there are several . . .
The
Oregon Aquarium in Newport (not as big as the Monterey,
California one) it
has a great jellyfish display that looks like
a forest of living lava
lamps. Heheheh. I don't know if they
allow performances there but I'd be
thrilled to do one.
The Ventura, California Courthouse Atrium. Imagine
a giant
echoey marble floored space with murals and a giant stature
of
Padre Sera pointing at you. Heheheh. Actually, this IS a
performance space
and my pal Jeff Kaiser has organized
several concerts there. If you like
reverb . . . it's great.
Almost any old stone church building from the
19th century.
They were built for sound/music to be heard in (and for
people
to sit in to hear it) all without technology. I've been in
many,
many of them that would be sublime performance spaces
if they were
opened up to the possibility.
The Silo #5 grain elevator. Silo #5 is an
abandoned grain storage
facility in the port of Montréal. A quarter of a
mile long and over
twenty stories high, it has a total capacity of five
million bushels,
or enough wheat to make 230 million loaves of bread. The
building
was constructed in several stages between 1903 and 1958.
It
seems to have been converted to a space for presenting music
(in some
fashion). It'd be interesting. See: http://www.silophone.net/
I think
something like my piece "Hubble" would go over there
quite
well.
Best regards,
