Studio vs Live Music

 


A music comic thrown together this morning. After doing a rather rocking short thing on 7 string yesterday and wanting to check SUNDAY posting of shorts some more.

I saw Neil's thoughts on his Studio CD preference on Facebook or Twitter  some time ago, and even though I have looked, I haven't been able to find it again. I had agreed with what he said.

I mostly prefer Studio produced CDs too, but this year changed me.  I attended 3 concerts in Japan and the sound and facilities are so much better than what I endured way back when in Sydney. Also I attended 2 smaller concerts with Urasawa Naoki + Band and ASTERISM and they were much more like a personal performance, they were so close.   

I am very much a Studio guy for my own things. Making my music and producing is rather like painting to me.  But I can see that very much depends who you would be performing with if you didn't just use backing tracks, but anxiety is a thing for me about that kind of thing.

The music in this was a very quick 7 string guitar and synth thing. Basically 4 guitar riffs, where 1 is repeated a lot.  I like it though, and the guitar tone from the Line 6 POD EXPRESS BLACK.

Urasawa Naoki's latest Manga Study on Chica Umino was on last night. I always learn something interesting in these. The way she has text doing 3 different things in a panel is interesting, and not just caption, speech and sound effects. Outlining in green pen in color illustrations is something else too. But is it all a reaction to her own school trauma?! 😮
