After the gig
a little post-mortem
The technology was flawless, no laptop issues, no
equipment failures. The music wasn't that bad too :) So, made a couple new fans
and life is good. I've got a bunch of video of the show that I'll be editing and
posting as soon as I can. I forgot to start the recording on time, so the intro
wasn't recorded, but I can maybe have the intro be low quality from the video
cameras as a sort of "effect." I tried something new at the last minute which
was to have a video camera attached to a monitor giving a view of what my hands
were doing which turned out to be quite effective. The thing I don't like about
laptop shows is the distance placed between performer and audience because there
is no connection between what the performer is doing and its effect on what
people are hearing. This "performer cam" was an attempt to address this and it
worked pretty well according to the people who saw it.
