The Third Rail June 9 2015 at Make It Up Club
Sunday, June 14, 2015 at 4:17PM On June 9, the Third Rail, this time consisting of Gary Butler on Guitar and things, Warren Burt on iPad, Board and things, and Ernie Althoff on home-made Percussion and things, appeared on the Make It Up Club, at the Bar Open in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. Gary, Ernie and I are particularly delighted with this one. We all feel that we're really WORKING here - cooperating in making a very nice composite sound, and really interacting with each other. Catherine Schieve did a really good job with the video (this is 18:40 of the full 29:15), and Stephen Richards did a dynamite job with the sound mix. Electronically, I'm using the iPad app Bird Stepper to modify Gary's sounds and the sounds from my small Electro-Acoustic Percussion Board. This app allows one to have a number of different sound modifications, which are all changing in real time, and you can change the mix of effects in real time as well. We all hope that you're as delighted with this improvisation as we are. Enjoy!
