Performance Notes 2.28.15 & 3.6.15

I forgot post performance notes from the last two weekends! For both of these I played at Circle Church: the first time with Matthew, and the second time with Jordhen. My faithful mid-2007 Macbook is becoming a regular part of my setup now. It runs Ableton as long as I don’t push it. I use it primarily for pad loops and switching patches on my MOX.

Feb. 28 set: Mighty Warrior, Give Me Faith, Stronger, Scandal of Grace, My Savior My God, Raised to Life.

Mar. 6 set: Blessed Be Your Name, Your Grace Is Enough, I Surrender All, Give Me Faith, Jesus I come, This Is My Father’s World, In the Sweet By and By.

These services were in the Black Box, which is a small performance space on campus shaped like a box. Its used mostly by drama or for showing short films. It’s always interesting to play there because you play on the floor with the worshipers and there is no monitoring, so everyone hears the same thing.

One thing I’ve been struggling with lately is getting a good piano sound from my MOX. In the Black Box, I’ve been using “Monaural Grand MW” with a compressor to try and get some sustain out of it. I’m still not happy with the sound, though. I think it sounds plucky and doesn’t have any “meat.” If anyone knows any tips for improving a piano, I am always looking to learn.
