Listening To: Schizzow ft. YonLynn - Love Letter









Everything was delayed.  Moe called me up, saying we will be playing earlier than we expected.  Our slot was at 11.30am, and well, we ended up playing at 12.30pm.  Way to go, organisers.

Sound engineering was bad.  Could only hear the performers on stage, and not elsewhere in the park although monitors were set up.  They didn't switch it on.

They prepared the amps.  I was playing with an amp that had 1/32 life left.  Once I plugged my guitar, it died instantly.  Literally.  The amp went on and off upon its own will before, during and instantly died after the performance.  At least Ray's set wasn't that bad.  It only screwed up on ME.

Moe's vocals were not crystal clear.  Distorted guitars drowned him, and my mic was too loud.  It covered all of the instruments including of the lead vocals.  Told the soundmen to turn it lower.  Picked up the sounds upon unwanted will and was too sensitive.  In the end, soundmen didn't even do shit about it although I told them twice.  Gave up on the 3rd try and let it be.  Should've switched mics with Moe.

Pre-amps and monitors were crap.  Not able to withstand overloaded treble - which is kind of weird for amps.

Lost a small amount of flesh due to ramming my thumb against the strings.  For the love of music, man.  Just remembered that my strings were rusty.. Hmmm.

Wasn't paying attention.  Managed to cover up certain parts, and throw obvious mistakes to the crowd.  Causes?  I would not want to talk about it ever fucking again.










Note:  Lucky thing that Schizzow and Ocean of Fire didn't perform today.  Ray's set was the best among the slots, but sound quality was still horrible.










Still having stomach disorders..










Finals coming up in a few days.  This would only mean.. More Grand Turismo 4 for me.
