Practice makes perfect
Published May 26th, 2006 in my music, gigs
On Wednesday night Jim and I got together for another looping practice. We’re trying to put together a 10 minute live set where most of the music is created on stage and looped on my laptop using Live. We want to take Fake Plastic Loops to The Candle Club.
This is our third practice, but the first time we’ve ever recorded the output to minidisc. It’s amazing how a set that sounds promising during production ends up as a muddy tedious mess on review. That’s how our first effort turned out.
For the second effort we decided to simplify the process, only recording at most two loops of each part. That one went much better. Still a bit ropey for my liking (like when the drum beats come in out of nowhere). You can listen to it here (including 16 FREE seconds of silence at the start). Roll on next Wednesday night when we’re practicing with Becky.
Onwards and upwards.

Ah, but that’s 16 seconds of vintage silence.
