These are performance photos from our three-act show in Bushwick, Brooklyn on April 15. The third act's (Poisson d'Avril's) photos are in someone's cell phone. Still to come: a YouTube of a man trying sell Jon a keyboard during his performance.
Would be interested in any photos anyone has of Poisson's DJ Probiotic playing his mp3 player and turntable.
Not to reduce artists to the equipment they use but the above images give an idea of the different approaches Jon Williams and I will be taking when we play Wednesday night.
I am especially intrigued by the tabla drum sequencer in Jon's rack (the white plastic box).
Update: Jon's video work is more software based (an elaborate patch for real time performance) whereas mine will mostly consist of shoving DVDs into a player.
I will be playing some of my music live (through a PA at any rate) on Wednesday, April 15 (tax day), with videos of animated GIFs.
It's at 9:00 pm, at Goodbye Blue Monday, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY.
I'm excited to be on the bill with the other musicians. Jon Williams and Poisson D'Avril (Christopher Weingarten) will also be playing in the electronic part of the evening. Our set is followed by an acoustic set by Kaylyn Marie.
The myspace page for Goodbye Blue Monday is here, with streaming video and such, but the calendar on the front page isn't loading correctly and appears to have someone else playing on the 15th. If you click through (and log in to MySpace) you see the correct calendar here.
The online flyer by Jon Williams is here (large file but great--let it load!).
