As I mentioned in a previous entry, I’ve been planning on using the GMS in an ensemble setting. I finally had the chance to do this as a duet with Graham O’Brien on drums. Things went fairly well, although I managed to discover another bug my application handling the external sync. Rather than trying to fix it during the session, I just used an old version and tiptoed around the difficulties by not using an external controller as I had wanted to. Nevertheless we were able to produce some nice studies for our first attempt. Here’s an excerpt from our third jam of the evening.
Particle System Jam #3
Argh! I hope the bug isn’t my fault! :(
Yes! About time. Was this recorded at school? Unearthed studio? Grahams house? Nice clip. Keep going.
Graham’s studio. Nice work, Graham!
Thanks guys, the studio is coming along pretty well. That jam was a lot of fun – my first time improvising with John and the GMS!
