Jim Becky and I got together for our final practice last Tuesday before taking the show on the road (or at least down to the Talking Heads next Monday night).

You can listen to one of the pieces we made, recorded live on a minidisc, by clicking here.

It’s quite a challenge to create 8 minutes (240 bars @ 120bpm) of interesting loop based electronic music from scratch given 2 minutes setup time. We seem to have settled on a way of working which will hopefully do the job.

The limited setup time sadly means that I can’t take my midi controllers, so everything will be done with the mouse unless I can develop a decent computer keyboard strategy before monday. So what with recording what Jim and Becky are doing, sorting out the levels, and sending audio streams off to various effect busses it looks like I’ll have my hands full.

Can’t wait!
