Joined a Band

[mysterycircuits]

Some friends from North Carolina moved to NYC a few weeks ago, not long after my wife and I moved here. I just joined their band called Fantan a week ago, and I just had my first gig with them tonight here in Manhattan. Right now, I'm only playing the Minimoog. It's actually pretty cool being limited to a single monophonic synthesizer. It puts me in riff mode rather than having the escape of just playing chords. Anyway, the gig went well. I had a couple flubs here and there, but I was expecting that since the songs are still so new to me. On the second song, something weird happened with the Mini. It suddenly wouldn't scale in tune. I have no idea what caused that, and it went normal again half way through the song. In the future, I'd like to use my Prodigy and SixTrak, but they're stored at my mother in law's house in North Carolina. The Minimoog is too valuable and heavy to carry around the subway and city. I might have to bribe a friend from NC to ship them to me. Anyway, I'll post the myspace page with some songs. Myspace is down at the moment. Cheers.

Nice one,you cant beat playing live. I would nt fancy lugging around a minimoog though. Cant you use a laptop with a vst plug in?

Hell, I could just ditch the keyboard completely and presequence all the notes on my laptop. Then I could just trigger each note in time using the space bar.

Here's the myspace page with a couple songs they recorded back in North Carolina: www.myspace.com/fantanrock

Good synth sounds will fit in nicely on top of that style of music. Especially big phat analogue ones ;D
