good for you, mate.
best of luck with the gig and the girl!

SYRFox 05.26.2009 01:58 PM

thanks!
the gig should be good. i've been rehearsing those tracks for a good two months now, so i think the whole thing flows well and all. I hope people will like it, I'll be the only electronic artist, all the other bands are rather rock / punkish. I only really fear that the USB connexion fails during the gig, which would mean I would have to restart the keyboard, but it only failed two or three times since I've got it, which makes roughly one time a month... so it should go.

As for the girl... I hope it'll go well :D we'll see.

_slavo_ 05.26.2009 02:08 PM

what live equipment will you use? just the keybord and SW synts or something else as well?

SYRFox 05.26.2009 02:17 PM

a laptop and a midi keyboard plugged to it
i control most of the things with the midi keyboard but still do a few things on the laptop, like changing rhythmic patterns, etc

SYRFox 05.26.2009 02:36 PM

eheh
a 20/20 in english, 18.5/20 in maths and 20/20 in maths speciality helped a lot
my worst note is in philosophy, 15 i think, so i'm rather glad with it. now i just hope it'll be the same at the real thing...

SYRFox 05.28.2009 01:40 PM

First gig tomorrow! I feel ready. I hope the public will feel it...

greedrex 05.28.2009 02:28 PM

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel it?

_slavo_ 05.28.2009 02:35 PM

Ah, damn. Today, I went to Hungary to do some shopping (the enormous recession in this neighbor's economy has dumped the retail prices quite reasonably) and I came across a so called "pure malt" whisky called Glen Turner which was being sold for quite a cheap price in a supermarket there. So I bought it, expecting something similar to my obvious Glenfiddichs, Bruichladdichs and Macallans taking up space on my shelf, but it in fact turned out to be a real shitty faux-whisky liquid. Shit, it's even not Scottish.
It's made in France.

greedrex 05.28.2009 02:37 PM

You talking to me?
Cuz i'm the only one here.

Ha ha, poor _slavo_ - that's like buying a Becherovka rip-off called Benny Rover.

SYRFox 05.29.2009 03:26 AM

My gig is in 5h30 now... I don't feel stressed, which is strange, since I'm usually an ultra stressed person; I hope I won't be struck by it when I'll get on stage...

_slavo_ 05.29.2009 03:32 AM

wait, wasn't your gig supposed to be yesterday?

btw. I got drunk off that french whisky yesterday. I feel like a lizard now.

_slavo_ 05.29.2009 04:37 AM

Hello nef. Have you heard? Dave Gahan is okay again.

By the way, I've stumbled upon this on ebay - the most awesome glitch circuit bent pedal.

 


Ouch, I want it so much now!

al shabbray 05.29.2009 08:30 AM

argh.
maybe I am going on a 3 day trip to amsterdam with my gf and 3 of her female friends...
the question is: do I want to?
it could be really...female all the way, hahahaha

why tf I am totally hooked by stiltskins "inside"?? and genesis` "land of confusion"?

al shabbray 05.29.2009 06:37 PM

I proudly present:
I am drunk and on this board...
yeah. will have a headache tomorrow because of cheap vodka and schweppes bitter lemon. but will have some nice phillipinho food at 2 p.m. which is always good.
ah yes and so on

SYRFox 05.30.2009 12:34 AM

The gig was good. I began trembling like mad when I got on the stage, but it ended after a few tracks. I did not make mistakes - only two awkward pattern changes, but that's not too noticeable -, which was good. The sound system was powerful, the men behind the mix table were really great... The basses and kicks were huge

The public seemed to be split in a few categories: some thought it was "excellent", "perfect", "wonderful", "you've got talent guy", etc (some girl said about the concert on her blog that it was "an abyssal sonic universe" and that she was "planing in distortion"), other thought that it was completely "dull", "awful", "this guy's gotta stop music", "it sucks", etc, and other thought it was really good, but I was not at the right place playing in a school festival, amongst rock/punkish bands. But I think overall people rather liked it, I was asked an encore at the end of the show but the time was running out unfortunately.
So I'm rather glad. I'm looking forward to playing more, hopefully...

_slavo_ 05.30.2009 03:03 AM

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SYRFox again.

That's very good, I'm glad to hear that.

by the way, nef and al shabbray, I got drunk as well yesterday, but it was this "let's get pissed in the dullest and most un-amusing way as possible" way. out of plain boredom, I just called up my best friend, I went to her place with a 12 pack of beers and we drank and drank and drank.

I think I'm getting old if a situation like that doesn't make me feel like I have a good evening.

yes, indeed.
oh, it's 1.12 am and I'm still not sleepy.
I guess I'll wait 45 more minutes to see the first Stanley Cup final match. The Red Wings play the Penguins.

SYRFox 05.31.2009 03:43 AM

_slavo_ 06.01.2009 02:55 AM

I'm wearing this today, it came in the mail yesterday:



 


A pretty cool design, I guess. There is a nice tape image on the back, too.

SYRFox 06.01.2009 03:20 AM

^^ârgh, that sucks. will they get it back?

_slavo_ 06.01.2009 07:31 AM

I don't know. They're circuit bent, so it's not mass production.

al shabbray 06.02.2009 10:51 AM

ok, that sucks, cause waiting time can be a little bit longer then.
