Another thing I’ve been up to lately is playing a few shows around town. I pulled off my best set at the Funhouse, where I did a techno-oriented set with my g2 keyboard and effects. It’s funny to be playing a live set with my main instrument as a keyboard, and not even knowing how to play the keys! Despite that,I think it worked out great. The g2 is the best live performance tool I’ve ever used, except for a computer, and a whole lot more reliable. It takes a lot of patching work to get it there, though–out of the box it is more of a normal synthesizer. But with the g2′s sequencer modules, you can sequence and perform your entire set with nothing but the keyboard–but I think effects help.
Setup for my Funhouse liveset
I didn’t record the show, but it sounded a lot like what I had recorded for my rehearsal sessions. I recorded this track using what you see up there, all played in realtime. All the main melodies are done with one of my just intonation patches.
Cool stuff!
