someone who's doing some things
Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
This was a truly lovely gig last night at the Albany, which is, in my opinion, a great venue. Lizzie was awesome, and the support (who’s name I sadly didn’t catch) was totally amazing. The clicking song was out of this world!
I am just so glad that I went along, and I’m so glad to be a part of Heart n Soul.
Whilst this type of band / music isn’t my usual cup of tea, I have to say it was a great show, and, whilst I probably wouldn’t run out and buy a CD of the music, I did enjoy it.
Just thought I’d post these two side by side.
I used to have one of these ages ago and it was incredibly useful. But sadly I got rid of it. Why? Good question, I’m not even sure now. But I needed a new one even though I had the V4 as well. The big difference with the V3 is that it has its own power from a little PP3 (9v) battery inside. That means that it can power devices that draw vampiric MIDI power, such as the two MIDI vampires I’ve got.
All in all a very useful device indeed.
I’ve listened to the album and the actual physical version arrived now. It’s rather lovely though. A nice package. It matches the album.
I’ve posted on this before, but here’s a little reminder. This event will be completely amazing, or at least I hope so anyway. It’s starting to shape up now and really come together. So I plan to be posting a few more details about the event quite soon and show some of the things I’m going to do be doing and showing there, and some of the amazing people who’ll be there.
If you’re interested in attending or being a part of it in some way, then take a look at this page on the SoundLab web site.
So just a few first impressions really, after only listening through once.
Firstly, I loved it. It was very story focused. It was funny, and sad, and poignant, and beautiful. I really enjoyed listening to it a lot.
So I’m expecting to really enjoy it on all the subsequent listens too.
Another problematic album to listen to, but it’s actually very good when you give it a chance and listen to it with focus and care it is well worth it. There’s a huge amount of depth and beauty in these songs. There’s always something new to find in each one, but it does require patience and that’s not always easy. Neither are these pieces, but just because they’re not easy does not mean that they’re not good. They are.
This is an excellent album. Really interesting remixes of the Blemish album. Well worth listening to, and in fact something that I’ve listened to often and still do.
