The usual: playing dance rock to happy drunks for money. We played an ultimate frisbee championship party last week that's always a blast (yearly thing). got to rock my key tar hard that night. Outfitted my main rig with EL Wire lights to look like something outta Tron. I'm hooked. Gonna go to town with light rigging in the future. Probably dress my dumb-ass keytar in EL Tape. Gonna blow a lot of money on this in the future, I can feel it. But hey, "It's Tax deductible!"
Keep working up classic video game tunes with my VGM band. We landed a "90s rock" party, but only under the condition that we learn the Mortal Kombat theme. One of my guitarists got a little butthurt cuz he thinks it's a stupid tune (it is), but ya never turn down a request from the booker! But I talked him into it, he's new to gigging, so he'll learn. We'll have fun with it, I'll cue up all the stupid vocal phrases on my sampler, and do it in a Steven Hawking robot voice, should be hilarious. Probably dance around like a goon with my keytar. I usually stick to my main board for the VGM stuff because it's pretty crazy two-handed prog stuff, but this is stupid dance music. should be fun.
Also just recorded a cover of Pink Floyd "Time" for a guy down in Phoenix. Fun bit of sound design. I had a bunch of Tibetan Bowls sampled for my day job, just laying around. I found that down-tuning them an octave makes for KILLER giant grandfather clock sounds. New appreciation for Richard Wright. He may not be a Wakeman or Lord, but his feel is exquisite. Nabbed me "Lounge Lizard" electric piano plugin in order to dial in the right Wurli. That shit is amazing!
