So I went to Barcelona to check out Sonar, side-events and to do a “show” of my own. <\/p>\n

Actually, I thought at the moment that I was not ready for performing live (I still do think that): not enough songs, not yet the hardware to perform (including a midi set-up + laptop as a sampler —–> not to be seated in front of the laptop, being terribly pale by the light and having no interaction whatsoever towards the audience) BUT rather using the latop as a tool, as a means of storing (storage), and kind of making a piano (through a midikeyboard) with your own sounds instead of strings and hammers – if you want an explanation….).<\/p>\n

The reason why I accepted, whas that it was in Barcelona, and that there, no one knew me —–> the factor of “nothing to loose”<\/p>\n

The show was on Friday the 13th, an element used a bit here and there (visuals + quote of Joan Armatrading “I’m lucky, I can walk under ladders”)<\/p>\n

There, show is over, it was a bit too long…
\nI did chatter about…<\/p>\n

But, what pleased me the most that the songs I liked best, and that I had worked on the most (and that were most recent) , well, they were the best songs…<\/p>\n

I still have a lot to learn, but as a first gig, this was really not bad. I am really really glad I had this opportunity, because it gave me the proverbial kick in the b*tt, I worked like a madwoman the months before (because all my stuff was half-finished).<\/p>\n

After the show, somebody very very nice gave me this:<\/p>\n

Yummy! (understatement)<\/p>\n

\"wowowowyummy.jpg\"<\/p>\n

How food goes to the right place! (not only the stomach, nono)<\/p>\n

All this would not have been possible without Lo-Bat<\/a> <\/p>\n

I hope they know that…<\/p>\n
