26.10.06

Unlike last week, where the ‘mojo’ was perfect for improvisation, this week the group had a little more difficulty making a decent sound. Nevertheless, the members (who attended) should be congratulated in that we indeed managed to achieve a good sound at several points in the jam session. It may not have fallen together easily, but we were still able to come up with something, so well done crew. One song in particular was awesome; in this my drum loops did not change too much, but I just tweaked them gradually to sound cleaner and more complex as the song went on, to the point where I really did not want them to stop. Ever.

As I have done every week, I wanted to bring something new to the session. However having not had time to make any other loops for the session, I instead decided to get a copy of the freely available, under 65 Mb demo of Live 6 to change things up a bit. My verdict? Wow. Live is an easy to use program, with endless possibilities and is becoming more and more refined in being able to do what you want it to. I truly would recommend playing with Live to any aspiring musician.

By the time I had fired up Live 6 for the first time, my group had already begun rocking out. As I really threw myself in the deep-end with this software, I probably ruined the chance of creating a decent drum sound for 15 minutes at most, but by the time everyone was starting to settle and listen to each other I was able to work my way around the nuances of the new Live well enough to create a decent beat. I know that once I have Live 6 worked out as closely as I have Live 3, that I am going to be a multibillion dollar rockstar skilled loop artist.

This session we spent together will probably be the last before the end of year concert, where the EMU guys and gals all let there hair down for one more chance to dance the night away. Actually I was being sarcastic, but who knows, I remember being at my school formal thinking ‘why are they all dancing!? NOBODY told me there was dancing?’ Assuming I do not have to dance, I am actually rather looking forward to this concert. So long as the members of our group who never turn up do the same for the concert, I am convinced that we can put on some decent music.

So loyal readers of weimerhead: the untold tales of the ninja robot samurai from outer space, this post sadly brings the year to a close. I myself will henceforth be busily finishing assignments, so drink a beer for me and I will see you all at TOOL - BIG DAY OUT 2007.

I'm looking forward to hearing your group at the concert, minus DJ Tr!p. From what I've heard outside the Studio 5 door, your group does a whole lot more playing and our group does a whole lot of talking ;-)
