Monday 21st January
The last two days I have been checking the equipment for the performance on Thursday. I’ve borrowed a mixer that will allow 8 students to play at once and for me to feed my loop pedal into the final mix. It will allow a lot more control from my end, which is important when using contact mics, because they tend to be indiscriminate about volume levels. I did a practise loop with purely surface sounds, and I think we should be able to sustain a long and varied performance. It all depends on what objects the students bring. I’ve got a few spare because I know there will be some who ‘forgot’. I would prefer to use their objects and input, because otherwise it may sound like just another one of my performances. We’ll see…
