argyre planitia live at "Nerdlich der Mitte"

[betadecay]

In the beginning of march, there was the 2nd synth meeting "Nerdlich der Mitte" ("north of the center" in german, but making a play on words with the english "nerd") in Wallenhorst near Osnabrück, Germany: http://www.sequencer.de/blog/nerdlic...ynthmeet/25453

Look at all the equipment, and you'll understand the joke with the "nerds".

I took the chance and improvised live there:

The are some not so perfect parts (I was so terribly nervous...), but it is not so important, what you hear there, but what you see there: my very first live appearence ever. Yes, I did it!!! :mrcool:

You may try this link http://www.sequencer.de/synthesizer/...8877&start=175 to see more photos and hear more audio (you'll find the audios in the lower third of the page), but - although valid - the link sometimes seems to point to an unexisting page... Something that I do not understand.

Thanks to Torsten M. Abel (http://www.sineamplitude.com/) for the video and to http://live-transmission.de/ for combining the mobile phone video with the high quality audio track and for uploading the video.

The ice is broken and the waters tested. The outcome? A lovely, understated industrial-ambient work! Congratulations! :thumbsup:

Thank you very much for your kind words!


(What I do not understand: on my iPad with safari, I do not see the video, not even an URL pointing to it... Firefox on Windows shows me, that there is a video, but plays only the sound, only IE seems to work as expected... Seems to me, that IT is the science of not properly working things)

The video plays fine here using Chrome on Win7-64. I'm about 7 minutes in now. It sounds great to me. I can't see your hands shaking, so nervousness wasn't a major problem

I also noticed that (almost) everybody in the video is wearing spectacles :nerd: You score extra points for that, and also for managing to squeeze the Oberheim into the footage

Very, very nice and varied. Congratulations on your first live performance, I guess me as well I should try to promote my solo electronic stuff more, instead of thinking of refusing when no one will call.
Again, I liked the variety A LOT. Clap clap!

I watched on Firefox on a Mac and experienced no problems.

Good stuff. Congratulations on playing live. The only time I play live is when there is just me and the cats in the room.

Ther were people without glasses... as far as I can remember...

The Oberheim belonged to the guy who made the video, perhaps he used the chance to present his equipment.

Wonderful work, really enjoyed the listen late last night.

Envious of those who can pull off a live performance.

It has some not so perfect parts, but I believe, that I am the only person who knows, what I mean. All in all I am surprised by the result.
