My band The Fortune Five just played another concert last night, which went pretty well I think. Yalemusicscene.org is this pretty cool website/group of students who help put on shows and open mics every week, so they got a concert together for us (as they did in our previous performance, although we were an opener then). We had a decent turnout, and we played 9 songs more or less how we wanted to play them, excluding a few tempo and technical difficulties.

In somewhat belated response to Santana’s comment on my other post, the division of labor, for the most part, is that I write the songs, or at least the basic idea, and then we all kind of tweak with it until we can play it as a band. In terms of electronics, we aren’t really doing anything spectacular except for using different sounds- synthesizers on my keyboard and then distortion/effects on Will’s (our guitar player) guitar. I’ve been messing around with sending my keyboard through my computer, which I can do pretty easily, but so far it hasn’t been necessary- all the sounds and effects I need are on the keyboard currently. But it’s good to know I have the resources of Logic and Reason at my disposal should I want them in the future.

YaleMusicScene also posted a video and some photos of the concert on their website today. There may be more to come- I don’t know.
