@Tomcat – Yes! The King Crimson cut was brilliant. So well edited. And as a quote, this has to be one of my favourites, especially because, as @otherdemon says, it is so blasephmous to describe Led Zeppelin as lousy, crap. :lol: :lol:
Tomas: "My dad introduced me to Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix … and then he made one mistake: he went to put on Red by King Crimson … and then after that, Led Zeppelin. That was a bad move. Led Zep was complete bullshit to me because Bill Bruford, King Crimson, [as an] 8-year-old drummer at home you're going bananas. And then you hear Led Zeppelin. This is lousy, crap – that's what I thought at that point, because nothing was as cool as King Crimson. So what you should do is Deep Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin … then Crimson."
May I suggest that whatever systems you choose (and I agree with those above who say rigorous consistency is imperative), it would be really helpful to include a clear description of the systems so that users can navigate and comprehend more easily and precisely.
I'm in awe of all the work you're putting into this project. Thank you so much.
Are there other avenues that could be explored before autotune? Someone mentioned the difficulty of hitting the right notes when it's so loud you can hardly hear yourself. What about vocal and breath coaching? Surely there's no harm in turning the sound down a bit and getting a bit of help, even this far into a career. Many musicians learn new techniques throughout their careers so why not? Of course the bottom line is this is us just trying to pretend like we have any influence on what they could do, but I do agree that it's somewhat of an issue for some (maybe many) people.
@naur Oh yeah. The very best way.
@naur Heavy heavy vibration where I stood too. 😀
Another great Motorpsycho evening in Köln. Very different to the other shows I've seen. A lot more motor and less psycho-delic. First time seeing Jig, Jane, Bro and Evil. Jane was especially exhilarating for me. Although I'm not a fan of August the song, the follow-on jam was, as we say in England, the bees knees, the cat's whiskers, the dog's bollocks. Believe it or not these expressions all mean it was very special. I still find The Crucible a bit cumbersome but the middle noise section really took off for me this time. I can't say any one song stood out as a major highlight, it was instead a concert of highlight moments and waves and several happy surprises.
Thank you, as always, to my generous hosts – especially Thomas, also Alli, Ingo and of course the miaowman Tomcat. Great also to meet Tania again. See you all next year.
@Johnny H – I looked around the crowd a little but didn't spot you. If you were there I hope you enjoyed the show.
A UK date would be nice but I don't think 7 or 8 October would be a good idea, at least not in London, as Extinction Rebellion have their next major action starting the 7th. They'll be occupying major streets and intersections in London and bringing parts of London to a halt. The previous actions were pretty effective in snarling things up for some days, and I expect this is going to be even more serious as the group has grown rapidly. I may be overestimating the effect it could have on a Motorpsycho gig, but it could seriously affect (a) logistics around the venue and (b) the number of people who are willing to come into the centre of London when there's so much disruption.
@JERO Only Köln this time for me.
@suntripper – where is the interview?
