NEW YORK, SOHO, BROOKLYN, CHICAGO, SFO AND LOS ANGELES

11/2/6> Mo Pitkins, New York, this was our first real show and was a showcase for my Label as
part of the CMJ music conferrence. It was all a bit of a blur really, the sound in the club was awful
and neither Erin nor I could hear ourselves.It was also uncomfortaably cold on stage so not a great
but everything worked fine apart from UPS losing one of my Voyagers and my having to use a brand
new LP from Moog straight out of the box....

....AND SO I CLOSED MY EYES

11/3/6> The Apple Store, Soho New York. So the first Apple store and I didn't know what to expect
or how it was going to go but it was amazing, lot's of people turned up and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
I played the title track from my album " The Truth in Me" then de assembled it in Logic Pro and showed
how the song is built up of a series of loops. Then I wrote a new song using the same process in Logic
Erin then described the process we used to make the video for " Treasure" usinf Quicktime and Final Cut Pro
we use a process of stop frame animation and bursts of shots then animated in QT. We then played the song
with the projection behind us which looked pretty cool as you can see in the photos. Finally we had
a question and answer session and then somebody won an iPod shuffle , sadly not me !

THE TRUTH IN ME
TREASURE

 

11/6/6> North Six opening for The Album Leaf.... I've sort of known Jimmy Lavalle for over a year but this was the
first time we've ever met! We had tried to do his entire tour together but timing didn't work out, happily this one gig did
though. They have a great audience who all came out to see the show and even came early to see me, the club was also very cool
and very friendly. So weird to be playing clubs after all these years and it made me wonder why I am doing this ?
The answer is because of the music and my belief in this record and this is the only way to get it out to people
to let them hear it and see what its all about. So a special thank you to Jimmy for having me on his show.
The show went really well, Erin was especially good. I think I over played trying to capture the crowd but have learnt
a lesson and won't do that again, I also made a note to talk more or actually talk which I didn't !

Moogfest B B Kings Club New York June 23rd 2006

After a nightmare soundcheck and massive tech problems, the show went by like a dream
Erin sounded like an angel. This is the first time we performed live together in front of an audience
and I really enjoyed it. The set was cut short due to time restrictions but we played...
