At "Molten Java" - Greenwood Ave. Bethel, CT
This isn't what you'd expect a solo mallet gig to be.
I'm running backing tracks recorded in "Reason" and triggering MIDI and audio
loops/tracks via Ableton 'Live'
This is the first gig I've incorporated 'Live' into. It's totally changed the way I can play a solo gig.
Tunes are no longer stuck in a predefined form dictated by the backing sequence. Each section of the
tune, each track, each measure can be called up at will. It's a fantastic piece of software.
Molten Java is a coffee house and really loose performance venue (at least that's how I approach it)
My last gig there turned into a 'Q & A' session with answers being demoed via the tunes.
If you're in the area come down and check it out.
