    Today's Easter gig was fantastic,I had been practicing and recaping my parts a lot in my free time,For pink matter which was a cover,I listened to the song on YouTube and played accordingly as how I did with my band members. I had also been practicing with my band using technology and it was a new thing which I learnt including the vocal transformer which is a type of music equipment as

to how the voice would like to sound and the Minibrute analog Synthesiser which is like a keyboard

but small in size as compared to an original one. I enjoyed playing the bass sound on it and the

normal keyboard and Piano. For the first original,I played the original big keyboard,For pink matter cover I played the piano and in the second original,I played the Minibrute analog synthesiser.We

named our first original Do you know my name? and the second original,we named it Need the
kind of love.It was an amazing event and the use of technology helped us very well to practice,rehearse and perform.This gig was better than the practice gig because,We changed 

some of the parts in the

original Need the kind of love and two other songs.I looked around the theatre while performing and moving my head with the beat but focused more on the keyboard and kept in eye contact with the

band members especially the guitarist and drummer.So,the band consists of Reece(guitarist),Junior(Drummer),Hasna and Marco (Singers) And I played the piano,Minibrute and normal keyboard.In the practice gig,We played Need the kind of love only.Both the gigs were very good but the final one was the best.I enjoyed practicing with the band and practicing

individually.We had a good sense of rhythm,Confidence and enthusiasm while performing. I also liked the other

bands as well and especially the song roll and smoke by Alyx,Russa,Jansen,Kenny and Shade and

everyone's performances of this entire Easter gig. We named our band Soulfoultrigger and we
were the last who performed for the gig.

Problems which I overcame were that sometimes,when I had problem connecting the new equipment to the output and tried to make sure that they were connected to the right places.Finally I managed to do that and also I had been playing out of time when rehearsing but kept practicing and made this a

better performance with the band members. I always communicated with my band members as to

what I needed to do and we all prepared to perform well in the Easter gig.

And this one gives you the videos of the performances which we did for our practice gig.

These all consist of how I had been working from the beginning of the funky junk project band for the Easter gig.

Another problem which I overcame while practicing for the Easter gig was that I was confused about the amps while connecting,but I could deal with it by taking a  a picture of where it was connected and also another thing was that I was holding all the equipment using technology, when I was returning it to Grant. I dropped the equipment while opening the door to go out of the room after the lesson.So,by mistake it fell down and then I realised that next time I will ask my band members to open the door and beware of my surroundings which are near us always.

Band workshop session today assessment 1 for Easter gig

Today,We had to perform one of our songs using the new equipment especially the Minibrute analog synthesiser and vocal transformer.We performed our original song today and it was neat
the candil law,Something like that.I could play the notes very well on the  keyboard. Hence the performance went very well,for our Easter gig,I will perform much more better with my band including the cover which is a song called pink matter.Hnce,I am doing well.I practice a lot from time to time.


This is the run through gig which we had yesterday as part of the 1st assessment for the Easter gig which we have time till March 14th. Band no 1.Thursday, 23 February 2017

Feedback from the funky junk run through

For my feedback,It was a good performance which we did for the practice gig,but Olly told me that While I am performing,I should not look at one place continuously,I should be looking around and all of us should enjoy more as to what we are doing. Of course,I was enjoying as I moved with the beat and playing the bass synth sound on the Minibrute analog synthesiser.But we all will keep working in the band workshop and Songwriting sessions to make it a good Easter gig.
