dimanche, avril 10, 2005 Like today, when I was worship leading. Ade and I programmed everything all ready; we spent two hours on Saturday doing it! We saved it, then we made sure that it was saved properly on the Clavinova, then we called the resident expert, Andy, to ensure that it was saved properly... and then, train wreck today.The monitors weren't switched on or plugged in properly, which led to the first song being totally out of time. Moving on to the second song, the rhythm felt sluggish and slow for some reason. The third song, thankfully, was a la carte, meaning no tempos, so it went okay. The fourth was acoustic, with me on guitar, so thankfully, it went well. Moving on to the fifth song was a challenge - I was in G, but had to move without key aids into C, which is okay for me because they're relative notes, but still, you never know what could happen. I moved alright, but I started singing the wrong song (the last two songs both had "Lily of the Valley" in them, which was why I picked them, but therein the trap lay) and then Ade also picked up the wrong song, so we ended up NOT singing one song because the mistake was magnified exponentially after she started playing. And to think that I thought it would be an okay, boring worship because I picked all the songs from the Baptist Hymnal. It's all very regular, 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 if you're feeling funky, or maybe as slow as 2/2, but... turns out that the newer songs went a lot better. I'm not sure if I want to use hymns in my worship ever again... or maybe I should just stay away from the Clavinova... strangeknight: I know Lessig already; he's more into legislation and policy, so his articles are slightly more "up there" than most; I love wired magazine; don't you see their link at my sidebar? Love it. [Sometimes, technology sucks] |
