live vid from friday's gig

[K9 Kai Niggemann]

Thanks for all the nice words and the criticism.

the caravan setup is the idea of two guys from my home town, they call  
it "Sozialpalast" (sozialpalast.de is their website) and it's the  
thrid consecutive year they do something like this. The first year  
they set up a little kitchen in a huge empty warehouse at the harbour,  
where they put a few television sets and sold beer out of. about 20  
meters behind the kitchen there was a living room where the bands  
played, transmitted through the TV sets to the audience in front.

this year is the first with the caravan though, and I think it's the  
best one yet. There is a cameraperson inside the caravan, the image is  
projected onto the caravan. When you stand in front of it, you see the  
real band perform inside through the windows, you see the projections,  
and of course you can see the entire setup in front of whereeveer the  
caravan is parked... it's really really cool to watch.

One nigth they had an 11 piece ska band jam inside the caravan for  
about an hour -- with a cameraguy, trombones and drums... that caravan  
seems much bigger inside than from the outside...;)

My electronics setup actually is Ableton Live and an Akai MPK 49  
controller with a Mackie Onyx satellite as an audio interface. The  
vocals are treated in Live as well. Sorry some of you don't like the  
vocals -- tastes differ...;-)

We'll do another gig next friday (30th) in the caravan. This friday  
we'll (http://resonator.de) be playing a live soundtrack for a silent  
film in the south of Germany.
