Good luck on the gig!  It's cool to get to see a little bit of your process.  Things start getting pretty trippy at times when that looper gets involved.

Oha, now I see what magic tricks you are using for your music. It is a simple but very effective setup. It is fun to listen and obviously you are having fun too. The gig will be no problem to survive. Good luck and many happy accidents.

That's a fun looking setup.  I've always wanted to try playing a handpan and I've always wanted a handsonic lol!  The looper looks like it def helps with the process of bringing your complex grooves together. I agree there's a trippy effect to it towards the end.  Hope the gig goes well \m/

Thank you! I like seeing process of others, nice when I can share a little too. Yeah that looper's FX chain and occasional mistaken loop points gets surprisingly trippy, felt like a beast I hadn't fully tamed this time, but a few cool sounds.

Thanks for listening! Yes, this is some of the magic tricks, and a setup I want to practice with more, but I'll want some more sounds too. Most weeks,working in Ableton is where a lot more of the magic happens. Love playing with gear and getting happy accidents!

Thanks, yeah it's pretty fun even as I'm figuring it out, preparing and practicing! Yeah I think looper will be crucial for capturing things. I still wondering if sorting out looping in Live would be smarter, but having physical interaction with this looper is so fun. I hope you get to play a handpan, and handsonic, some day, they are fun and sound so nice. Sometimes the 9 notes feels limiting, but limitations can be really good too of course. The handsonic is great fun, I think the sounds they loaded on this older model are pretty good too. I have used it on many tracks this year!

So the gig was a lot of fun, nice to sit in and play with a talented band in live setting. Making some new friends, talking shop and local live music scene. Some other guest players, and some really good players, guitars, keys dual tenor saxes. There was a young guy sitting in on sax from the local Air Force base, was cool to talk with him and another guy about their Air Force life, was unexpected.

I think even if I thought my drumming could be better in few places (it was fine, but always notes where you can better in hindsight), a big part gigging is just being chill and easy to get along with, fun to be around, and I can do that part, so I'm sure I'll get to play with some these folks again some day.

this was my coffee making soundtrack this morning. really cool in headphones, and also neat to see your process and some of the tools you use! that all looks super fun!
glad the gig was fun and you were able to connect with some new musicians

Sounds like an improvised jam, it's got this raw flavor, but thanks to you trimming that from a 20-minute session, there's a lot of change going on so it's interesting throughout. Good job!

(I'd still add a bona fide bass to that and then it's a complete song )

Cool video, nice to see your setup, that handpan looks and sounds beautiful.  I can see how the looper can give some happy accidents.  Glad the show went well and you had a great time and no doubt you would be "chill and easy to get along with"

Oh nice, happy to be part of the coffee making, I love that time of day! Yeah this setup is fun, still figuring it out and that's fun too. Limitations have pros and cons for sure. Thanks for listening and the nice words!

Exactly yeah, cut down the improvised jam. Have gotten better at that process over these years, but it can be hard sometimes to pick some parts to keep and wrangle the whole mess. Good call on bass, wish I would have added something for this quick version, but I will probably use something from this jam for a future track.

Yeah I love the pans and tongue drums. Limited in notes, but that can be good too, would sure be fun to have more of them in different scales. Yeah the looper and its up to 4 effect chain has given lots of happy accidents, fun to get them, but sometimes frustrating when didn't get what I thought I would! Thanks for listening and the nice words! I'm guessing you'd be very chill and easy to get along with too
