9:30am First class at Unitec this morning. First year certificate students, a group of about 16 students mostly younger folks. We talked music for a bit, I showed them John Steven's ONE TWO exercise. Its great for fine tuning one's sense of rhythm. I then split the class up into two groups and they'll be devising a piece of music tomorrow in my absence..
4pm Sound check at the TV3 Garden Stage for gig w Age Pryor.
6 - 7pm Age and I were very excited about this gig. We've been work shopping using Ableton Live for the last few months, and a few practices ago we abandoned doing anything pre-prepared. So just before going on, while being well drilled in our process, we still had absolutely no idea how the music would go. Brilliant. And the gig went well, especially the first part. There are still a few problems too iron out, especially keeping track of where beat ONE is once the layers start building up. I have a gig booked at the Wine Cellar in May so we'll look forward to working towards that one.
