Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
Maybe someone can make a DVD of an excrutiatingly slow screen-saver? I like the matrix-type graphic ones, and I saw one of a kind of weird rube goldberg machine. I worry about making a video too much more interesting to look at than the band - unless that is the effect that you want? Synchronizing something to the show in any way sounds impossible for lack of rehearsal time.
Getting six songs into thirty minutes, with configuration changes and all, sounds optimistic too, but I'll dig into all of them with equal priority until I hear otherwise. I can come in saturday any time / place. Even if only some of us can make saturday, we'll probably be glad we did in addition to sunday morning. I mean, it's going to actually be fun to do. So, just give the word.

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
Rabid, that's pretty awesome; I had completely forgotten about the Internet Archive.
We could also use this:
http://www.kellysoftware.com/ssaver/Matrix_ks.asp
It's a Matrix screensaver, but can change colors, project a slide show and various text we want it to.
Two more things:
1) Does anyone remember what key "Don't Think I Don't Miss You" and "Rhymes with Lucia" are in? I keep fiddling the wrong notes.
2) I'm bringing my electric, but I'll need an amp for the rehearsal; is this feasible or should I look for a Pignose or something?

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
I have a not very good small bass amp suitable for rehearsing. If we're coming to NJ saturday, I'll definitely be driving and it's easy to bring it. Sunday, not so sure what we're doing?

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
I'm good; I picked up a little clip-belt amp from Musician's friend. It was only $20 and I didn't see the harm. Heck depending on its tone, maybe we can use it for the gig itself.

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
Cool. Well, I think I have some time tomorrow night so I can cut together a movie from bits and pieces from the Prelinger Archive about New York. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query ... AprelingerRabid Garfunkel wrote:Go nuts.
I'll f**k around with effects and the like, slow all the footage down to a crawl, etc. I can make a little silent MOV / AVI file (whichever is smaller) of say 10 minutes, then upload it to my site if someone 'over there' can then download it and burn it 3 times over onto an american format DVD, so it plays consistently.
The resolution will be pretty bad but given low-light and band performing in front of it, that might actually add to the atmosphere. Or the tension at least
Just call me Bill Viola.

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
That sounds like a great idea. Plus we'll doing "Ellis Island", so it sounds like a great fit.

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
OK one 10 minute, achingly slowed down, slightly colour-distorted, deliberately undistracting silent movie with a musicians-in-ny theme here:
http://www.johnnycashpoint.com/xtrgvsny.wmv
Use as and if required. Loop three times should give 31 mins. Warning: Watching this movie without music and a band in front of the screen may result in extreme boredom.

Re: x-tokyo-river-god vs. New York
I burned a DVD-on-a-CD for this... I tried it on my old persnickety player and it didn't like it, but my 3-year old player played it just fine. 3 copies back to back in the same track. Hope it works. In case of it not working I'll try to remember to stick the movie on my laptop for you also.
