Count of Three Debut - Us vs the Machine
Last Friday night, before our regular
Bone Table gig, we had mini-gig as a
Count of Three debut. We played three songs that we felt we had brought to some level of readiness. The funny thing for me was that I felt neither nervous nor excited about it.
We set up the stage, put the sampler on a stool so I could reach it properly and away we went. There were a few rough edges, but that's the kind of thing that gets smoothed out with more practise and more performances. The big thing was we managed to stay in time with the sampler - Tunji had to wear some headphones connected to the sampler so he could hear it properly. The main thing we learnt was that we really need to check the level of the sampler vs the other instruments before we start the show - the feedback we got was the sampler could have been turned up a little more.
Nevertheless we managed to perform the entire set and I think we can definitely do some more interesting things in the future.
