Started rehearsals for a production of 'Rent'. The show starts Friday March 2 and runs to Sunday March 11 with Monday March 5 being dark and matinees on Sundays.
The cast is quite good and the band is cooking. Joining me are Craig Kennedy and Rene Gely on guitars, Pierre Huneault on drums, Wendy Berkelaar on keyboard, and our fearless leader and keyboard player, James Caswell.

I have recently dragged myself into a time that resembles now and purchased a Macbook and Abelton Live.
Learning curve? Oh yes but, there have been some interesting moments.
I have posted a two of my earliest experiments here and I look forward to any comments you might have on them.
A cool feature of the setup is that I can process both sides of my Baliset with delays and amp modelling etc and, trigger synths in real time all within the laptop.
More on this as I plough through the manual and try out new ideas.

Getting underway for another Orpheus production starting June 3 - 12.
The music is fun and the cast is strong. No bass solos though...........pity.

Into the Woods
Into the woodshed for the next Orpheus musical. The music is by Stephen Sondheim and there are many time signature changes and more arco work. This will be my first time as part of a 'string section', should be fun.
