As part of my journey towards being a live electronic noise musician I went and bought a load of cables at Maplins today. I like Maplins. It’s a very functional shop but not overwhelmingly nerdy. So I came out with what I hope are enough wires to connect up my bleep machines to the mixer when the second two arrive in the post (and after I solder them together of course, which will be a whole ‘nother adventure…). for now, though I made do with what I have, which turns out to be quite a bit. You’ll see in the above photographic representation my brother-in-law’s mixing desk which is much more powerful than I’d suspected having 10 tracks and 14 inputs. I think. Whatever, it’s more than enough for my purposes. I’ve got the Thingamagoop plugged into track 1, the laptop running drum beats through track two and a microphone going into track 6 with it all coming out through my hifi amp. And it works beautifully.
Just waiting for the two Thingamakits to arrive now…
Crikey. Can’t wait!
That looks rather good fun :) I expect more mp3′s and video of the performance (maybe even a live feed on the night).
