Project X......
Apr. 26th, 2014 09:45 amOver the past few years, while I've been dreaming about the synth and DAW (digital audio workstation) gear I'd love to get, I've also been thinking about some projects to put this gear to good use.
One of these projects is a collaboration with folks I know in the filk community. Many filkers are solo performers; the only time we get to play together is at the jam sessions at the end of filk cons. (There are some filk bands out there -- Urban Tapestry, Ookla the Mok, Toyboat, 19 Action News. But their members are geographically close together, and get to practice often.) And I remember the enjoyment and camaraderie I got from being in a band or ensemble; this dates back to high school. And the idea was developed: what if there was a loose amalgamation of filkers that got together on a semi-regular basis and performed as a group? And what if I led or organized the group?
( And so, 'Project X' was born. )
