My first gig

[dnar]

I just finished my first public gig, what a blast!

It was a warehouse gig (held at our local hackerspace) and the musicians were mostly University students. Some really interesting stuff, a huge home built fully analog patch bay synth, video synthesizer projections, an automated didgery-doo (power from a dive bottle), electronic music and noise from various FXspansion software. Very cool.

The show organisers and spectators were all raving about the show as they left, I am blown away by all the reactions. Noboddy has really seen a live laser show in this neck of the woods for a long time... Hopefully Kit will be joining me at the next gig. The next show is in 3 weeks.

I just loved creating with QS2 to music, what a blast. I used a Behringer BCF2000 MIDI control surface, but mostly for left hand control of Z rotation, brightness (cue fades) and animation speed. I am loving QuickShow 2.

I really need more red... BTW, the red highlights on the factory roof are from red table lamps on stage. In fact red low power table lamps throughout the hole factory!

It is my own build, 4 x LPC-826 LOC knife edged with G2 lens. But... I it is only running 2 diodes at the moment as thats all I can fit on the scanner mirrors!

LOL, from last nights FaceBook page:

Thanks to Sam Gillies and all at Artifactory for putting on such an excellent show. Very enjoyable. Suggestions for next time - bring back the lasers!!

Nice to get positive feedback, a good job well done!

Looks great, well done. It's also really satisfying to know the crowd enjoyed the lasers

Don't suppose you have any contacts / pictures of the automated digeridoo do you (I could be a poet )? I would be interested to know how they set up the initial resonance.

O.K., here's my confession, as well as being a laserholic I also play the Digeridoo. In fact I absolutely love playing the Digeridoo, I find it very relaxing and de-stressing.

Cheers

Jem you never cease to surprise me!

Can't beat a bit of pseudo-didgeridoo!

Har! I can play myself. Circular breathing is a skill I wished my wife had!

Believe it or not, a whoopee cushion is used for the resonator. No photos sorry. It uses a diving bottle for air and a servo/flap at the end controls tone. It really needs a "chest" cavity IMHO.

BTW, in the show writeup by the organisers they wrote this:

* Wayne Osborn's laser show was hypnotic and had most people spellbound - he certainly got a lot of enquiries from event organizers, and chatter at the Bar d'factory aways mentioned it

He he he. Time to pull old Rolf out.
