The songwriting/production/recording of my latest material is coming along really well. I'm actually surprised how organic the sessions are, ideas are just flowing out of me at the moment. Amazing what a change of direction can do for your creative spirit.
My only concern at the moment is how much will I actually be interacting with the technology at my hands whilst performing? And is this even important?
I want this new project to be cutting edge, to be utilising technology to the best of it's ability and pushing boundaries of what one man can do in a performance. At the same time though, I want to keep a traditional song format with vocals and guitar. What's actually happening is I'm creating the music before the performance, and then playing and singing along to a backing track, with only minor interaction when I play something on the MIDI keyboard.
I'm sure I can be doing more to be using the technology creatively, but at the same time, I don't want to draw focus away from the songs, and I wonder whether it really matters that the laptop is really just functioning live to play the backing track? The production is still all mine. I'm still creating and performing music using digital technology?
On a different note, I now have a new myspace profile where I will be promoting the Tapper project.
