Tried the electric violin with Boss ME-50 guitar effector was quite amusing

Tomorrow night meeting at http://www.secretoflouisiana.com/ to discuss with the organizer. 8 pm.

A little bit of explanation regarding the performance night thing. I was being asked by a dear friend who apparently an organizer of some event that he is finding someone or something to do some performance on a stage. A stage that being used for award ceremony of something I am not clearly understand although fortunately we can find that out soon. As of last week, I did not know the whereabout of the said stage (not gonna use event as you guys might confuse it with another thing). Because of that, I was using The Curve as the stage of performance area as that's what I thought where the performance would be gonna happen in relation with the event on the next day. Apparently, I just got to know a moment ago about the said stage would be at Secret of Louisiana for the award ceremony. I knew some guys might have different understanding about this performance thing. So let me put down some inputs here.

So what kind of performance do they want? Anything. Singing, dancing, play, as long as it's nice. It's a performance to fill up the gap between award giving ceremony slots. For the whole ceremony. There might be a single 10 minutes gap where some performance can be filled in, and there might be another 10 minutes or so with another skit.

When and where? The place is Secret of Louisiana which I mentioned just now and the performance will gonna be on Saturday night. Tentatively, I do not know the details (which we will find it out soon).

What do we get in return? Dinner, of course. Nothing more than that though.

To find out more about the stage performance, some guys needed to go there on Wednesday night (relatively tonight) at 8 pm to get more knowledge about the ceremony.

I have to go since I am the middle person for matter. Now who wants to go with me?

P/S: I don't really mind if you guys want to do a full performance with drums and everything but please consider if we only have 10 minutes to perform.

11.00PM: End

For the opening performance, since the speech by main sponsors would likely be not there as nobody from the main sponsors doing it, we have additional time of performance. Let say, 15 minutes? And for the second part of performance we might still have 10 minutes.

Hmm, there are a lot of stuffs I would like to point out regarding the performance a couple of days ago. Well, certainly it's something we should take note before getting on top of a stage.

First, I think we should never really accepting a last minute request for something that wasn't sure about. The lesson that we learned here is that, we didn't have much time perfecting our performance. A week is totally not enough unless we are so free to have jamming session every single night for that matter. A month before an event performance is plausible with a confirmation that every single band member is capable to commit at least 3-4 sessions at studio for practice. This part might be my fault to think we are ready for something quick like this. Second, the stage area. Last performance was totally a new challenge for us to have a performance in an open area. We were used to have practiced and performances at closed area. This leads to another matter that worth to take note which is sound mixing. It was funny for the mixer to be placed behind the stage instead of in front of the stage (although this was not our fault but we should take note of this). The third matter is also in relation with the second part, the sound system. While it is good to bring our own equipments, I was being told by a member of reporters who is also a performer that we shouldn't do that. For major performance, everyone's instruments should be connected to a single mixer that control everything and our amplifiers/etc to be connected to that mixer. Fourth, while we can tell people that it was organizer request by saying we can play any kind of songs, we do need to understand the situation of the event as well. At the beginning, I have already concerned about we to bring heavy songs to the event that were not really suitable. But since we kinda accepted the word given by the organizer for any song, the idea for opening with Meguriai, Yokan, etc. was given a go... which ended up some of the audiences expressed their uneasiness at the micro-blogging site called Twitter in instant. Of all, why anime songs?

Of course we can give excuses and whatever we can blame on others but I largely blame myself for failing to see the sequences while I can see some of us pretty much eager to have a fresh public performance on the year 2011. In addition to this matter, while the band has already more than a year, we still don't have an exact commanding officer that can give orders to us to follow triumphantly. Heck, even during the day of performance, we still have this doubting thoughts and uneven decision here and there. I am just a mere singer that still have much to improve and learn which I clearly stated that previously that I need a guidance for this matter but ended up nothing until recently (starting with ZC who commented on my singing and also Eccentrical's post above). Also, during the performance, I always have set my mental and mind on what to perform but when somebody jump in to sing along or wanting to sing the song but then undecided (because it's cool to sing while playing instruments) it ruined my mood. Well, if you guys want to sing the song, make the decision as early as possible.

So, for this matter, I am not willing to be the main vocalist until everything is ready. Especially for a performance. Just treat me as a guest singer or something. Or maybe you guys can try singing while playing.

Have a nice day.

For the time being I am not interested since I only know vocal.

you don't need additional singer. just go perform while playing guitar.

Jom.
